Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I’ve got yet another video podcast for anyone with the stamina to listen to me blather about social and political issues. Yesterday, I recorded a long video podcast. Then because it was truly awful, I deleted it. Nothing daunted, I tried again today and I can say that, very slowly,

Is it possible I had a civil, indeed, delightful conversation with a Progressive about guns because I gave him a vision of himself as an open-minded person? I had a very nice New Year’s Eve attending a couple of parties. At both parties, of course, I was the only conservative

A delectable illustrated edition tracking today’s insanity. This particular edition is dedicated to Caped Crusader, may he rest in peace.

I’m having a little bit of fun here, but it’s really amazing how many similarities you can find between Donald Trump and Winston Churchill. Before people start screaming in anguish at the possibility that Donald Trump might be America’s Winston Churchill, this post is meant to be somewhat tongue-in-cheek. Still,
Continue readingBack in the 1960s and 1970s, state and local politicians did come and give talks at whichever public school I happened to attend at the time. The politicians’ topics were invariably uplifting things about civic involvement, public service, the great people of San Francisco or California, or similar anodyne, non-partisan

I’m sorry to be blunt, but the last 3.4 weeks have shown that there really is no nice way to describe today’s Democrats. Emotionally, intellectually, educationally, and culturally, they are dumb. This illustrated edition celebrates that stupidity. The last six items, though, will be on an upbeat note so you
Continue readingNPR reports that mixed marriages don’t work. It’s not talking about mixed race or mixed religion, it’s about mixed politics. Democrats and Republicans make for bad bedfellows. What NPR doesn’t discuss is marriages in which one partner has a mid-marriage political conversion. Believe me when I saw that doing so
Continue readingI spend ridiculous amounts of my time trying to convince my children that, while “Give me that!” and “May I have that, please”, mean the same thing, their chances of success are much greater with the second phrase. I repeat ad nauseum that it’s not what you say, it’s how
Continue readingI know that, on the Left, the personal is political. I just didn’t know the political was practically orgasmic.
Continue readingLast night, one of the neighborhood kids fell and broke his wrist during a vigorous after dark game, played without adult supervision. That kind of injury would never have happened to me when I was a kid, because I wasn’t allowed to play rough or vigorous. My parents, who had
Continue readingI got a very hysterical form letter from Americans United for Separation of Church and State. What’s impressive about it is that Barry Lynn, the Executive Director who purportedly authored this fevered screed, is totally uninformed about the nature of America’s Constitutional mandates regarding religion. Here’s what the First Amendment
Continue readingThinking about it, Scott Brown’s election as the Senator for Massachusetts may be more significant than any election in my lifetime, including the Reagan Revolution and the 1994 Congressional takeover. I know this sounds silly. In 1980, the political shift involved a President, not a mere Senator; in 1994, it
Continue readingYesterday, I took to heart Mark Steyn’s warning that this is the beginning of the end. Health care is the wedge, and Democrats were willing to engage in long-term strategies — including the sacrifice of a few Democratic political careers — to make it happen. Bruce Kesler, however, actually sees
