Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I had the opportunity the other day to dine with a collection of Blue State liberals. It was enlightening, not because I actually learned anything from them, but because I learned about them. It was also a reminder of how far I’ve traveled ideologically, because I used to be one
Continue readingThe San Jose Mercury News did an article about the sticker shock many Obamacare supporters are experiencing. What was great about this article was this quotation, from an ardent supporter: Cindy Vinson and Tom Waschura are big believers in the Affordable Care Act. They vote independent and are proud to
Continue readingThe day the bombing took place, I looked at the MO and thought it more likely than not to be a Muslim attack. I stated: There are two ways Boston can go. It can be a liberal mugged by reality and get over its delusional belief that, if America will
Continue readingA high school classmate of mine who is a staunch conservative posted this on Facebook: It’s not hard to see why: Leftism inculcates people with an overarching sense that they are being treated unfairly, stokes their anger, and removes all moral constraints. With that toxic combination, no wonder they kill
Continue readingProgressives and narcissists share an unpleasant trait: If you make a mistake, it proves that you and your ideas are inferior; if they make a mistake, it’s just a mistake. Your mistake is irremediable, because it’s intrinsic to who you are; their mistake is just one of those things, and
Continue readingHave Liberals (including religious Liberals) lost their capacity to distinguish between Good and Evil?
Continue readingThe only thing that’s good about this creepy video is the reminder that the religious revival seems to be over. Many in the audience have packed up and gone home. Some realize that they got sold snake oil, while others look back on the day with longing, but without the

Continue readingSince at least Reagan, the standard liberal trope is that Republicans, both voters and politicians, are stupid. That trope has, of course, emerged again this year. The joker in the deck is Newt Gingrich, a PhD and author who spokes with incredible fluency and has a masterful grasp of facts.
Continue readingOne of the reasons a lot of people, myself included, like Newt is because he says politically incorrect things that ordinary people think. In other words, his politically correct utterances aren’t out of the KKK playbook, they’re out of “the reasonable common-sense before 1960s Leftist education took over” playbook. A

Continue readingI regularly read James Taranto’s Best of the Web and always enjoy his “Life imitates the Onion” or “Life imitates South Park” shticks. Imagine my surprise today, when I realized that, this time around, life is imitating a very silly satire I did at my blog almost exactly one year
Continue readingFor conservatives and libertarians, the movie icons might be High Noon or True Grit. For Liberals, the defining anthem is John Lennon’s “Imagine“. Why is there such a fundamental gulf between ourselves and Liberals, to the point where we find ourselves simply talking past each other? Can this gulf ever
Continue readingToday, several schools in Wisconsin announced that they would be closed so that their teachers could attend protests in the state capital, Madison, against GOP Gov. Walker’s proposals to take away collective bargaining rights from public sector unions. Wisconsin, like neighboring Illinois, is going broke. The behavior of the Wisconsin
Continue readingI attended a family gathering not long ago, liberally populated with Liberal in-laws, in which the mood was decidedly sour. Discussions revolved around the poor job market, employment uncertainty and health insurance. In conversations, a lot of resentment was directed at corporations, CEOs and their “disgusting and greedy” profits, salaries,
