Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Every time I see this picture of Nancy in Syria, my first impression is that she’s smoking a joint: I’m pretty sure it’s a cookie or fig in her hand, but the relationship between fingers and mouth is just so, well, like someone holding onto that very last little bit
Continue readingHere’s the story: Neville Chamberlain, on a visit to German, said on Wednesday Adolph Hitler was ready to hold peace talks with the Jews. Okay, I lied. That’s not the story. This is the story, with the Jews instantly and credibly (given actual events, not propaganda) exposing the lying liars
Continue readingIt seems as if, to the extent the administration still retains cajones, they’re put to a single (and laudable) service: we will not arbitrarily withdraw from Iraq. As to everything else, I think Ann Coulter’s latest screed is correct: Democrats have the breathtaking audacity to claim that Bush’s replacing his
Continue readingAccepted wisdom is that one of the reasons the voters gave Republicans the boot was that the Republicans, although they did lower taxes and increase federal revenues, spent money like it was going out of style. The Democrats, for the first time in their political history, positioned themselves as the
Continue readingThe title of my post is reflective of what’s been going through my mind since I saw the Drudge headline announcing that the U.S. Senate, led by Democrats, has joined the surrender brigade. In what war in history, I ask you, has a country, with victory still more than possible,
Continue readingI didn’t even have to read Dick Morris’ article to know that I liked it. Here’s the tag for the article at Front Page Magazine: “Only gutless Republicans could turn the U.S. Attorney firings into a budding constitutional crisis.” Well, yeah. The Democrats scream bloody murder over the political equivalent
Continue readingI don’t think I’ve ever written “pork” and “surrender” in the same sentence, but needs must. The necessity in this case is to bring increased attention to the really vile bill the greedy surrender monkeys in the House have cobbled together in an effort to position themselves to win the
Continue readingWhatever else it is, the CIA is not a government office loyal to either truth or the White House. Read this from Robert Novak, and I think you’ll fully appreciate the dishonest political game the CIA is playing — a game entirely separate from its mandate to amass information to
Continue readingAs you’ve probably guessed, I’m incredibly pressed for time today, so can only blog in minute snippets. To that end, let me just direct you to the WSJ editorial regarding the fake scandal over the 8 U.S. attorneys the administration fired. I agree in every particular, whether it’s about executive
Continue readingThis blog spends a lot of time hunting down and attacking the anti-Semitism that comes from the Left. It’s worth remembering, though, that anti-Semitism also has a long and honored history on the Right. Lately, Patrick Buchanan is the poster boy for this kind of ugly thinking. He exposed himself
Continue readingThe story of Dunkirk is an amazing one. In May 1940, about 250,000 British troops (as well as about 120,000 French troops) found themselves stranded there, victims of the spectacularly successful German Blitzkrieg. They had virtually no weapons, no organization and nowhere to go: the seemingly unstoppable Nazis were to
Continue readingWhen I first read the following story at Rhymes with Right, I thought it was a satire. Even though Greg quoted extensively from the news report, I still thought Scrappleface was somehow involved. But no, this is the real news: Anti-war protesters were allowed to spray paint on part of
Continue readingWe’ve all laughed at Billy Crystal’s savage caricature of Fernando Lamas, a sketch character reportedly born when Crystal heard Lamas, on The Tonight Show, announce that “it is better to look good than to feel good.” That quotation popped into my mind when I read a New York Times style
Continue readingBy gaining control of Congress, the Democrats suddenly found themselves with a problem. It’s one thing, when you have to power to effect changes, to demand that the US withdraws from Iraq; it’s another thing, when power is yours, to have to figure out a way to make that withdrawal
Continue readingI was very impressed, as George Orwell would have been, with Barbara Boxer’s comeback when she was criticized for attacking Condi Rice personally during Senate hearings. Boxer let us, the Americans, know that her words weren’t spoken in terms of policy, ideas, or military strategy. No, no — nothing so
