Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
As those who have been paying attention (that would be all of you) know, the presidential election was the first election in which Obama actually ended up going head to head with an opponent. In previous (i.e., state) elections, ugly information mysteriously surfaced about Obama’s opponents, forcing them to withdraw
Continue readingHere’s what I see going on and, please, correct me if I’m wrong: Reconciliation is a red herring. Right now, the House is being promised that, if it votes on the Senate bill, the Senate will fix differences between the two bills through reconciliation. So everyone is focusing on whether
Continue readingI believe more and more strongly that reconciliation is a red herring, meant to induce the House to pass the Senate bill. Once that’s done, this so called “reconciliation,” an alleged second bill that will smooth away the differences between the two chambers (especially the House’s demand that abortion, which
Continue readingHear me out. Sure, the public is indignant about our current state of affairs, especially the mushrooming deficits that have pretty much sealed our national bankruptcy (in my humble opinion). What worries me, though, is what needs to be done to fix the problem. I personally don’t see any solution
Continue readingAs part of a longer post about the Democrats’ anti-democratic tendencies, Peter Wehner has this to say: If you wanted a sound bite that embodied much of what is wrong with contemporary liberalism, you could do worse than listen to the words of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on health care:
Continue readingFirst, here is Scott Brown’s latest ad: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVuV7dm2G1w[/youtube] Second, not only should conservatives and independents in Massachusetts vote for him, but so should progressives. After all, the latter hate the proposed health care bill as much as the former do. Conservatives and independents hate the bill because it vests power
Continue readingI’ve got a matched set of posts for you today. The first is an American Thinker article by John Gaski, in which he advances the argument that the Democrats are tuning out the American voters, not because they are blinded by ideology, but because they have a well-advanced system in
Continue readingGood ad: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iddquwGpXM0[/youtube] Massachusetts has drowned itself in the Kool-Aid since 1972, but maybe a strong Republican candidate, a strong message, and an insane Democratic party can make the difference. UPDATE: If you’d like to contribute to Brown’s campaign, here’s his website. As Kate said in the comments when she

At least Foster Brooks was talented. Baucus is just a hack — with your life in his hands.
Continue readingI know many of you enjoyed the video I uploaded of a speech by Col. Allen West (ret.). Andrea Shea King is having him on her radio show tonight: Tonight we’ll talk with Col. Allen West (US Army Ret), Congressional House candidate for Florida’s District 22 (Jupiter, Palm Beach, Boca
Continue readingBryon York puts it in perspective: The extraordinary thing about the dramatic events surrounding the health care bill in the Senate is that there is any drama in it at all. Lawmakers are simply voting to begin debate on their version of health care reform. Just begin debate — not
Continue readingIn the wake of the 2008 election, Republicans and conservatives were paralyzed. They’d been trounced, not so much by sweeper percentages (that is, the elections were all just over the slightly 50% mark), but by huge numbers of elections in which Democrats edged out Republicans by those few percentage marks.
Continue readingThat Nancy Pelosi is a pistol. Here she is, a terrible public speaker, but still arguing strongly that it’s absolutely unconscionable for Congress to sneak bills through committee, to vote on things they haven’t read and don’t know, to vote on bills that the American public hasn’t had to read,

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZbKHDPPrrc[/youtube] Jennifer Rubin is also sanguine, bless her heart. UPDATE: The Anchoress urges us to be not afraid, even in the shadow of the jackboot.
Continue readingMaybe she got those Dems to vote yes because she assured them that, at the end of the day, the Senate will vote no. Or, maybe, we’re screwed: The US House of Representatives has approved the broadest US health care overhaul in a half-century, handing President Barack Obama a major
