Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Paul Krugman, who has been cheering the occupying army within a short walk of his own office, somehow hasn’t managed to show up and support them in person. A couple of days ago (and I don’t know how I could have missed this!) he explained why. I’ve offered translations in
Continue readingFDR made hay out of the shanty towns that sprang up under Hoover’s administration as suddenly homeless Americans tried to cope. Obama’s America is a bit different: here, we have the voluntary homeless, people who happily embrace a homeless, and incredibly dirty, lifestyle to advance their savior’s political cause. My

Continue readingTwo stories at the British Guardian caught my eye. The first is the Guardian’s announcement that its readers think Private Bradley Manning deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. You’re not imagining things. Britain’s Left — at least that portion that answers unscientific online newspaper polls — thinks that the man
Continue readingEd Morrissey discusses Roseanne Barr’s demand for the guillotine, and ends with just about the best statement I’ve ever seen about the difference between conservative and so-called liberal protests: Just remember that when conservatives organize into grassroots movements, it’s almost always about protecting their own property and individual liberty. When
Continue readingFrom 2007 through August 2011, daring to question or criticize Obama meant you were a racist. Now, though, liberals are suggesting that Obama is so toxic he should just walk away from the job. Holding them to their own standards, aren’t they being racist? I mean, really, really racist? Please
Continue readingThe Obama administration is headed for a big showdown with judicial accountability next year. Let’s look at the dance list thus far: 1. The “Fast and Furious” gunwalker scandal, involving potential collusion from the top of our government to funnel automatic weapons and explosives to drug cartels operating within and
Continue readingThere’s only one problem with this article challenging liberal myths about conservatives and about liberals’ own standing in the world: the liberals aren’t going to read it. For example, if Mr. Bookworm were to read it, he might appreciate that while I’ve moved marginally right (mostly challenging labels, more than
Continue readingI’m racing out the door, so cannot comment on this article about who really holds the moral high ground. I can just urge you to read it.
Continue readingMr. Bookworm is catching up with the Jon Stewart episodes he missed while we were away. One particular segment, which starts at the 2 minute mark, caught my eye. In it, Perry talks about love for country, clearly distinguishing himself from Obama, who hasn’t shown such love, either explicitly or
Continue readingWe have an odd family friend. Fundamentally, she is a nice person and sports a very unconventional view of the world that occasionally emotes great insights into the human condition. She has a major flaw, however, one that she admits as a character flaw: she is an unabashed hater. Despite
Continue readingEarlier today, I urged you to read Peter Wehner’s post about the way in which Leftist ideology paves the way for massacres — massacres that the Left often refuses to ignore, because they don’t fit into the Leftist narrative. I was thinking about this peculiar morality in connection with a
Continue readingThe discussion on my recent climate change post has one side saying “expert consensus” and the other side saying “facts.” Let me state something very important here: An expert consensus is not a fact. Experts used to think the sun revolved around the earth (wrong), that bad air caused disease
Continue readingAt Rhymes with Right, Greg has written a moving post about the way in which he and his wife, both of whom deviate from politically correct norms, are often on the receiving end of rude and brutish behavior. He ends by asking: And they have lead me to wonder —
