Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
One of the things I’ve always admired about Harry Truman is the fact that he was able to separate principles from personal preferences. He was a racist who integrated the American military and an antisemite who was among the first to recognize the State of Israel. I keep thinking of
Continue readingI highly (really highly) recommend that you read Paul Kengor’s piece in today’s American Thinker, Return of the Dupes and the Anti-Anti-Communists. In it, he describes a struggle I remember well from the 1970s (when I became politically aware during the end of the Vietnam era) through the 1990s (during
Continue readingThere is an absolutely staggering editorial in today’s Washington Post — it admits that, John Rockefeller’s “official” indictment to the contrary, Bush did not lie. If anything, Rockefeller, in his official Senate Intelligence Committee report is lying by reaching conclusions at odds with his own evidence: Search the Internet for
Continue readingOne would think that, now that the candidates for both parties are known, both of their vice-presidential choices would be the issue. How naive I am. In media-land, there’s really only one party running for the White House — the Democrats and some sort of vaguely known, but not really
Continue readingRemember a year and a half ago when the MSM, directly and indirectly, assured us that Hillary’s candidacy was inevitable?
Continue readingThe CDC did a study about teen sexuality. Here’s how The Telegraph, a leading British news paper spun it: American teenagers are having less sex, doing fewer drugs and drinking less alcohol than those who grew up in the 1990s, according to a new study. Amid growing concern about teenage
Continue readingIn keeping with the halo the media has placed on Obama, not to mention his own sense of spiritual destiny, PoliSat has written a post and put together a video envisioning the Church of Our Lord Barack Obama — with a hat tip at the end to yours truly: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8plz0Qks4o[/youtube]
Continue readingIf you stop at the first paragraph of this AP article, you might think that Teddy Kennedy is the only person on earth who has ever faced a cancer surgery as daunting as the one he underwent (emphasis mine): Bravery in the face of cancer? Sen. Edward M. Kennedy has
Continue readingTalk about subliminal advertising: It’s not only the photo of Obama’s uplifted face, surrounded by a halo, it’s the juxtaposition with the text: U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama waits to speak in Aberdeen, South Dakota May 31, 2008. Obama said on Saturday he quit his Chicago church in the
Continue readingWhen I’m at work, I act like a professional. Even if I had ever lost my temper on the job, though, my moment of rage would have quickly vanished. If you’re someone a little unclear on professionalism, though, with a blue mouth, and you work in the news business, you
Continue readingI’ve blogged at length about Obama’s approach to lies. Unlike Hillary, who just works herself into a frenzy of denial, Obama has an incremental approach. He just keeps leaking out pieces of the truth. By the time he’s fully exposed himself as a liar, the compliant, short-memoried media has long
Continue readingI don’t know how it is that I never got around to watching it before, but last night marked the first time I ever saw that classic 1941 movie Sergeant York. It’s a biopic, starring Gary Cooper as the eponymous Sergeant York, who was the most decorated hero of World
Continue readingAlan J. Lerner said it best: “Words, words, words! I’m so sick of words. I get words all day through, first from him now from you. Is that all you blighters can do?” When it comes to Jews, Ed Lasky shows just how hollow Obama’s words of love are: Barack
Continue readingI read an interesting pair of articles today — bookends, if you will — that discuss Obama’s increasingly tortured relationship with American Jews. The first, by Sabrina Leigh Schaeffer, notes two things: first, Obama’s Israel-friendly rhetoric and, second, his numerous associations with people who are openly antisemitic and actively hostile
Continue readingI stopped watching TV news a long time ago but, on the rare occasion that I want to catch up on something local, I go to KTVU 10:00 news. I choose that news show for one reason: news anchor Dennis Richmond, who is an island of dignity in a sea
