Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I’ve got a new post up at PJ Media: In the last few days before the election, many moderate Democrats are contemplating breaking up with Barack Obama. Parting with a political party or candidate can be every bit as wrenching as severing a personal relationship with a girlfriend or boyfriend.
Continue readingBill Whittle explains very clearly why it’s a mistake in this election for those who dislike Obama to a protest vote for a third party, or not vote at all, in order to protest the fact that Republicans are so far from perfect. It’s a principled stand, certainly, but it
Continue readingI cannot vouch for the facts in this email I received, so please take that into consideration as you read it: From my personal experience at Bagram last year, when the “Commander-in-Thief” came over, the troops were handpicked, screened, and disarmed, including the Marines. All base roads, sidewalks, and access
Continue readingSometimes, timing is everything. Steven Pinker, who is a Harvard psychology professor just published a long opinion piece in the New York Times explaining why there is a Red State/Blue State divide. As a predicate to his discussion, he began by dividing the mindsets that characterize conservatives and their Progressive
Continue readingWe all know crazy people. I don’t mean the kind of crazy people who believe that cats rule the world and that Satan is living in the begonia. I mean the people with personality disorders who assiduously work to shape reality so that it matches their own warped and damaged
Continue readingWhen it became obvious that Mitt was going to be the Republican nominee for President, I started doodling around with my strong sense that the November match-up would look very much like a contest between Ward Cleaver and Eddie Haskell, of Leave it to Beaver fame. In May, I put
Continue readingWhat one can say with certainty about the last presidential debate is that it is not a game-changer — which is good for Romney, because the game is currently scoring in his favor. In that way, it was a nothing of a debate. Nevertheless, there were aspects of the debate
Continue readingI haven’t had a chance yet to watch the debate. I’d love to hear your opinions.
Continue readingRomney’s main problem is a chronic one. While he intuitively understands what Bush Sr. used to call “the vision thing,” he can’t articulate it. He’ll spell out all the details, but he’s incapable of explaining to Americans that, if the government takes all their money, not only does it mean
Continue readingI just got me a new computer, and I want to set it up, so I have only a couple of quick comments. Obama was much better in this debate, although no less dishonest. (More about that later.) Romney was almost as good in this debate, although he didn’t appear
Continue readingExcept for all the gory stuff, I’d like to think that this will be how we’ll look back on the Democrat’s 2012 presidential run:
Continue readingWith the election drawing near, the pace of political posting on Facebook is rapidly picking up. I found two interest things just the other day. The first thing a friend put up is “The Worst Lies Paul Ryan Told.” What quickly becomes apparent is that, well, Paul Ryan didn’t really
Continue readingThe Vice President’s primary responsibility is to be in place should something happen to the president. This is not a far-fetched scenario. Over America’s long presidential history, several Vice Presidents have ascended to the presidency. Since WWII, we’ve had three presidents come in that way: Truman, LBJ, and Ford. The
Continue readingDo you remember Jennifer Granholm at the DNC, when she was yelling and gesticulating wildly? She was a 33 rpm record playing at 78. Watching the Vice Presidential debate tonight, it was obvious that Joe Biden had broken into her medicine cabinet and taken twice the dosage. Either that, or
Continue readingJohn Hinderaker caught a very funny statement from Jen Psaki, who is one of the president’s official spokesmen. She was responding to a reporter’s question regarding the fact that PBS asked the Democrats to take down an add using Big Bird (emphasis mine): We have received that request [from PBS].
