Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
In a field rich with excellent conservative writers, I always think Mark Steyn is the best. The joyful days, though, are the days when he outdoes even himself. In this week’s column about the fluffy multiculturalism that reared its head both before and after Hasan’s deadly terrorist attack at Fort
Continue readingYou know how you never drink a toast to yourself? Well, in Obama’s world, it’s all about him. As he made clear at the Berlin Wall ceremony, history has culminated in him. He transcends all things and is now, at least in his own mind, the living embodiment of America.
Continue readingObama has known for more than 12 months that he was going to become CIC, with responsibility for Afghanistan. This means 12 months of presidential advisers able to give this neophyte help in figuring out the best strategy for the war that he declared, during the campaign, was the essential,
Continue readingIf it wasn’t in a news story, I’d actually think that this was an O. Henry story, because the ending is such a twist. You see, it all started when a young man, walking down a dark street at night was mugged and robbed at gunpoint: A Milwaukee Army reservist’s
Continue readingIt’s fitting that today — Veterans’ Day — is the last day for donating to Project Valour-IT’s annual fundraiser. Please remember how much our men and women in the service have done for us, and do something for them. And — Go Navy!
Continue readingI always have a difficult time on Veterans’ Day, trying to figure out what to say. Words seem very inadequate to the task of thanking those who have given so much to defend the freedoms that we often take for granted. My mind becomes a kalaidoscopic jumble of images —
Continue readingProject Valour-IT’s annual fundraiser ends tomorrow, so there’s still time to give. Remember, they give so much for us. Now it’s our turn to give back to them. And — Go Navy!
Continue readingThese are a matched set, and you must read them, one after the other: Janet Napolitano, the U.S. Homeland Security Secretary, having thought long and hard, decides that the real victims of the Fort Hood massacre are . . . wait for it . . . Muslims. On the flip
Continue readingIt’s very simple, according to some British Muslims. You can be a soldier in your nation’s military as long as your military isn’t fighting against Muslims. However, if your military is fighting against Muslims, your military has become the enemy, and you should use your resources and abilities to kill
Continue readingDo I think all American Muslims are terrorists? No. Do I think the American military should bar Muslims? No. Do I think the American military should stop actively recruiting them and providing them with radical Imams? Oh, yes (emphasis mine). The Fort Hood terrorist is being portrayed as an “anomaly,”
Continue readingIt wasn’t just 13 “soldiers” who died at Fort Hood yesterday. It was 13 people. Here are some of their stories.
Continue readingI just heard about the Fort Hood shooting, and have nothing of my own to say. The New Editor, however, is watching closely and updating constantly. Ed Driscoll also has running updates, as does Hot Air. What I learned from a military friend is that, even though it’s a military
Continue readingI somehow managed to miss it when it started, but the annual Valour-IT fundraiser is still going on (until November 11). This fundraiser raises the monies that help to “provide voice-controlled/adaptive laptop computers and other technology to support Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines recovering from hand wounds and other severe
Continue readingI’ve always wondered what I’d do if I ever found myself in a dire emergency. I haven’t been tested, so my guesses range from total collapsing to being somewhat useful. Gunnery Sgt. Ralph Scott doesn’t have to guess. In Fallujah, he proved that, when he is under fire, he acts
Continue readingIt’s like standing in line at the check out counter: You find yourself peering into the cart in front of you to see what people are eating. The obviously overweight person in front of you has filled his cart with junk food, sugary cereals, ice cream, no vegetables, lots of
