Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Mr. Bookworm rented a movie called Tigerland the other day, about men being trained to go off to the Vietnam War. I found it unwatchable, in large part because every other word was a filthy obscenity. There was almost no substance to the dialogue, just foul language. Thinking back, this
Continue readingI’m always stunned by the shallowness of liberal thinking about international affairs. Granted, it’s hard to be deep on a bumper sticker, but surely they can do better than the ones I’ve been seeing lately. “In an eye-for-an-eye world everyone will be blind.” Well, yes. Of course, if the other
Continue readingSometimes, a picture is worth way more than a thousand words. Michael Ramirez gets it. This goes to the point I’ve been trying to make, which is that the anti-American/anti-Israel groups are willing to countenance a war only if they can assure that there is no possibility that the USA
Continue readingI know that many of you are like me in that you’re disgusted with the Republican’s profligacy, as well as with other careless, pandering form’s of government in which Republicans engage. Be assured, though, that “punishing” them at election time, both in 2006 and 2008, will be worse. Why? Because
Continue readingFor those on the Left atwitter about the fact that George Bush doesn't feel obligated to extend to Islamofascist terrorists (a) any rights under our Constitution; (b) any rights according to our own military men/women under a court martial; or (c) even the full panoply of rights accorded signatories to
Continue readingWell, it's official and it's dreadful: The bodies of two U.S. soldiers reported captured last week have been recovered, and an Iraqi defense ministry official said Tuesday the men were "killed in a barbaric way." The U.S. military said the remains were believed to be those of Pfc. Kristian Menchaca,
Continue readingI've been rather conspicuously silent about the whole Haditha thing. Until facts come out, rather than rumor, I don't really have anything to say. During times of war, even in the best regulated military, soldiers have been known to do some pretty awful things. You can't take young men, arm
Continue readingThis Memorial Day, the MSM, as usual, will focus vigorously on the ones who didn't make it, or who barely made it. I will say a prayer for them too, but, as does the WSJ, I'll also remember the ones who do make it, and who every day display their
Continue readingMaybe it's just objective news; maybe the AP is making a point. Who knows? All I know is that the AP is once again announcing the number of US forces who have died in Iraq: 2,392. This averages out to less than 1,000 deaths per year of war. While I
Continue readingThis isn't a real post, just a heads up that, if you've wanted the facts about what's going on with our Army's recruiting efforts, you can read about it here. W. Thomas Smith Jr. cuts past the lies and gives the real information — and it's not anywhere as grim
Continue readingDoug Powers notes that comedian Richard Belzer came out and said what most Leftists imply and few admit: that they think the men and women serving in our American military are subnormal in intelligence and understanding. Certainly, that’s what I hear in my community, an accusation I’m always quick to
