Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
A friend wrote me about Mark Levin’s theory, and now you can read about that theory in this article: According to sources in Congress and the White House, Barack Obama is preparing to usurp the Constitutional power of Congress to control the purse strings of the federal government. The Obama
Continue readingMy very strong sense is that the shutdown will reveal how much of our federal government is inessential. I’m not the only one who feels this way. And no wonder, because the shutdown reveals waste everywhere. This shouldn’t be a surprise. Monopolies are invariably poorly managed and unchecked bureaucracies invariably
Continue readingI don’t watch much TV, especially on weekends, so I missed this when it aired in May 2012. It’s still current (or perhaps I should say that it’s timeless) and quite moving:
Continue readingThose of us who are actually paying attention have noticed that mass murders consistently happen in gun-free zones. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that a killer is likely to be more effective if he’s not dodging bullets heading his way. He’s the fox in the hen house.
Continue readingYesterday, I asked if the military will follow Obama’s Syria orders. In both public comments and private emails, the answer to that question has been a unanimous “yes.” Our military is under civilian control and, if the American people elect an idiot, our military is still under civilian control. So
Continue readingHere’s my take on Syria: While it’s utterly tragic that 1,400 people got gassed, and while gas is a heinous weapon of warfare, especially when loosed against civilian populations, the true weapon of mass destruction in Syria is the combatants: Muslims from different tribes and with opposing takes on Islam
Continue readingAs the Marines make ready to follow their Commander in Chief’s orders and include woman in combat infantry positions,* perhaps now is the time to stop and consider what we like about Marines who haven’t been turned into jello by a politically correct class, the honest members of which make
Continue readingA few days ago, I commented about a profound problem with the Supreme Court decision striking down DOMA: before DOMA, we had a societal consensus that marriage was between one man and one woman. During DOMA, we had a law that said marriage was between one man and one woman,
Continue readingAtheists aren’t limiting their attacks in religion in the military to demonizing Christians. It turns out they’re also agitating for their own chaplains. I find this amusing. I can just imagine the atheist chaplain in different military scenarios. Atheist military chaplain on the eve of battle: “You’re going into battle
Continue readingBack during the Iraq War, PBS showed a documentary about reservists from a Southern state who had been called up for active duty. (For the life of me, I can’t remember the name.) The documentary was very sympathetic. It showed these reservists as pathetic, out-of-shape bubbas — family men, of

Continue readingThis one really got my goat. I wrote it for Mr. Conservative, but I want it to be here too. It’s not enough that Obama’s careless boasts got the SEALs (and 21 others) killed. It’s that, when all honors should have been paid to them, the gutless, PC, Obama Pentagon
Continue readingFor at least 60 years, advertisers have pitched young people by saying, “If you buy our product. you will be cool.” They haven’t said, “You are cool; therefore you should buy our product.” The promise is that the product will fulfill your desires, desires that go far beyond a particular
Continue readingIn connection with my post about the Left’s fierce hatred for Christianity (which burns bright alongside its antisemitism and pathological love and respect for Islam), I wrote about the Pentagon’s decision to partner with Michael Weinstein, a rabid anti-Christian who’s set his sights on the military. The next phase in
Continue readingThe headlines have been deeply disturbing: North Korea, led by an unstable 20-something, has reinstated war against the United States and South Korea after a fifty-plus year hiatus in active hostilities. Admittedly, North Korea hasn’t fired any shots yet, but its rhetorical volleys have been incendiary. Just yesterday, it cut
