Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
My thoughts are with the family and friends of those killed and wounded at Umpqua Community College today. I have only three things to note: Obama immediately demanded gun control; the campus has a “gun free zone” policy; and the shooter started to ask people their religion, but started shooting
Continue readingBoehner was merely an effective manager, rather than an effective conservative Andrew Klavan is kind enough to point out that Boehner was in some measure a very effective House Majority Leader: I can’t help but notice that under Boehner — and largely because of Boehner, because Boehner outsmarted President Obama in the
Continue readingIt’s not that I’m completely anti-abortion. As is the case for the majority of Americans, I recognize that there are circumstances in which abortion may be appropriate. It’s that I’m completely anti-“abortion culture.” I am opposed to a worldview that is so invested in the mantra that “it’s a woman’s
Continue readingPeople seemed to enjoy my last foray into Leftist posters, all of which I found on Facebook, courtesy of Leftie friends. I thought, though, that after subjecting you to the insanity, I’d also include some smart snark from the sane side of the political spectrum. First, though, the crazy stuff,
Continue readingI’m having my own personal dog days of summer: the exchange student arrives today, school starts next week, the older child heads out into the world next month, and the dogs . . . well, the dogs just keep being their wonderful selves. In the meantime, even as my life
Continue readingI’m trying to see a silver lining in the Iran deal that Obama is shilling so hard (and more on that shilling below). Although I haven’t quite glimpsed the silver, there are certainly some ironies, not the least of which is that Israel is now working openly with Saudi Arabia,

For my first post as a guest here at Bookworm I was contemplating many different topics, mostly concerning dealing with the Social Justice Mob. But then I saw the horrific undercover video of Planned Parenthood’s Senior Director of Medical Services, Dr. Deborah Nucatola admitting and conspiring to sell fetal body
Continue readingLast night we watched the most recent episode of John Oliver’s new HBO show, Last Week Tonight. I was interested in what Oliver’s take would be about the two top news events of the past week: Hamas’s terrorist action and Israel’s military response; and the refugee crisis on America’s own border. Oliver,
Continue readingWe had a productive long weekend, in that we made some smart big purchases courtesy of 4th of July sales. I can’t decide whether doing so was patriotic. On the whole, I’m inclined to think that anything I do right now to support the U.S. economy is patriotic. Yay, me!
Continue readingIf you’ve been educated in the American school system at any time during and after the late 1960s, you’ve been taught that Margaret Sanger, had her emotions terribly wrung when she saw the terrible suffering poor women (mostly immigrants and blacks) experienced because they had child after child after child
Continue readingLately, abortion has been in the news. It never gets far out of the news, but it intruded with extra force these past two weeks for two reasons. The first was the story about the media’s decision to ignore the Kermit Gosnell trial because it didn’t fit into the abortion
Continue readingWith the election nearing, the Facebook frenzy is accelerating. I got this from a Facebook acquaintance: Lots of food for thought, there: Ryan voted to end funding for Planned Parenthood. Ryan’s vote is completely in line with Romney’s insistence that a broke U.S. government should repeatedly ask itself “Is this
Continue readingThis is just the week for me to have sex on my mind. It’s not my fault, though, because the culture insists on pushing it into the forefront of my brain. Ours is a sex saturated culture. Progressives like it that way and want it to stay that way. Conservatives

In no particular order: Wolf Howling has written a fascinating, scholarly dissertation examining the adversarial
