Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
For copy right reasons, I can’t produce the image here, but I can describe the cartoon that Joel Pett drew. It shows two young, earth-mother types sitting at a coffee shop. One is reading a newspaper with a headline stating “Restrictive abortion laws.” She turns to her friend and says
Continue readingEvery day, I am more impressed with Ted Cruz. He’s smart, he’s courageous, he’s knowledgeable, and he’s deeply loyal to the Constitution. I understand that he went to Harvard Law School, rather than my alma mater, The University of Texas School of Law in Austin, but I can forgive him
Continue readingYou all know how much I dislike and disrespect Al Gore. With a recent attack against the NRA, he’s managed to drop even further in my estimation, something I didn’t think was possible. The following post (which I wrote) originally appeared at Mr. Conservative: ******************* Al Gore’s name has become
Continue readingWonderful, wonderful video: Incidentally, apropos the fact that government agencies are stockpiling weapons and ammunition, Charles Cooke explains that the numbers aren’t that scary when one considers how many people serve in the various agencies, along with the fact that sometimes the agents have to confront people angered by agency
Continue readingFor decades, the Left has correctly asserted that rape is not a crime of passion, it’s a crime of power. Second Amendment supporters have in turn pointed out that the great power equalizer is a gun. A small woman who is trained and armed is effectively equal to (or even
Continue readingWhen the recycling truck heads down our street, collecting people’s glass, cans, and paper, interesting things occasionally float out of the truck and onto the street. (Which should be a reminder to everyone to shred important documents. Sometimes the wind is the greatest document thief of them all.) This morning,

Continue readingOscar Pistorius — the Blade Runner — was indicted for murder in South Africa, after he killed his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, by firing four shots from his bedroom through the bathroom door. Pistorius claimed he was acting in self-defense. The prosecution contends that he and his girlfriend had a violent
Continue readingWe already know that Joe was telling women to break the law with his advice to fire a double-barreled shotgun in the air to frighten about bad guys. Would it surprise you to learn that his understanding of shotguns and AR-15s is also fatally, stupidly flawed? No, I didn’t think
Continue readingIt’s a pleasure when someone can encapsulate complex and important ideas in a short, accessible speech. Dan Bongino, whom Maryland voters rejected as a Senatorial candidate last fall, came back roaring in January to speak about our un-infringable right to bear arms: I especially appreciate his opening point: It’s not
Continue readingKids like to say “you’re not the boss of me.” Well, this fantastic video reminds us that, when it comes to America’s top-heavy government, every citizen has the right — and quite possibly the duty — to say those words: Hat tip: Power Line
Continue readingColorado State Rep. Joe Salazar’s ham-handed, even troglodyte, advice for campus women worried about rape came as no surprise to me. My experiences at UC Berkeley thirty-odd years ago left me fully prepared for this Leftist approach to females and true self-defense, an approach that hides both misogyny and an
Continue readingAs a matter of professional ethics, public school teachers should not use their classroom to advance a specific viewpoint. It’s not just that teachers receive their pay from taxpayers who don’t wish to see their money used to indoctrinate captive children in views antithetical to some or all of the
Continue readingMr. Colion Noir says in less than five minutes what it would take me five really long posts, spread out over five days, to say. I’m really impressed and couldn’t agree with him more. He packs a lot into the five minutes, but my takeaway — and something I couldn’t
