Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I’ve been coming across so much interesting stuff this morning that I’m going to do another flotsam and jetsam post. One of the things we’ve long known is that the Left lies about statistics. Examples of this are “1 in 4 women have been sexually assaulted” canard and the “women
Continue readingThe starting point for any discussion about abortion is, of course, Roe v. Wade. Pro-abortion people like to throw that case name around like a magic talisman that allows abortion from the moment of conception until some time after birth. They invariably forget that Roe v. Wade was a very
Continue readingKirsten Powers, one of Fox News’ resident Democrats, is the person who forced the Kermit Gosnell mass murder onto the front page. Before Powers shamed the media into pretending, if only for a few days, that the trial of one the most prolific serial killers in American history actually mattered,

Continue readingLately, abortion has been in the news. It never gets far out of the news, but it intruded with extra force these past two weeks for two reasons. The first was the story about the media’s decision to ignore the Kermit Gosnell trial because it didn’t fit into the abortion
Continue readingI had an interesting conversation with my mother, who may be 90, but is still sharper than most people you’ll meet. We got to talking about the Gosnell abortion/murder trial, which came as something of a surprise to her. Despite the fact that she watches the news and reads the
Continue readingI’m not 100% pro-Life. It’s hard for me to shake off the vestiges of spending 40 years in a pro-Choice world (the SF Bay Area) — and that’s despite the fact that I know that the pro-Life position is intellectually and morally the better position. I haven’t yet shaken a
Continue readingMuch has been made of Obama’s statement that the gun rights crowd should stop worrying, because Obama contends that he is “constrained” by the system the Founders put in place. If you don’t read his actual words with great care, it sounds as if he’s saying he’s contractually constrained —
Continue readingFor 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 readingThat post title is, of course, a wild leap of faith. But there’s no doubt but that Dr. Krauthammer has come to exactly the same conclusion I’ve been trumpeting forever at this blog: making gay marriage a civil right protected by the Constitution will cause a headlong crash into the
Continue readingSometimes it seems that the primary requirement for being a professional atheist is stupidity. How else can one explain why professional atheist (and evolutionary biologist) Richard Dawkins decided to announce on twitter that a human fetus is less “human” than a grown pig. Even if he believes this bit of
Continue readingIf you’d like to see a wonderful, fascinating compare-and-contrast photo essay, you’ve got to read Zombie’s Walk for Life vs. Roe v. Wade birthday party: Abortion showdown SF. To begin with, I love Zombie’s writing style, which is an invigorating blend of erudition, true humanism, and snark. Additionally, the post
Continue readingMany years ago, when Holland first enacted its euthanasia law, NPR ran an interview with a Dutchman who explained why euthanasia was a good idea in Holland, while it would be a terrible idea in America. The secret to Holland’s euthanasia, he said, was socialized medicine. The man explained that,
Continue readingA friend pointed me in the direction of a New York Times article that argues that both Second Amendment supporters and Abortion supporters are too quick to panic whenever the topics come up for debate, thereby precluding all rational discussion. After describing the way VP Biden’s mention of Obama and
Continue readingIt’s hard to imagine a more politically incorrect belief system than Islam. The seriously Muslim world stands for women without legal rights or physical freedoms, wife beating, honor killings, child brides, capital punishment for female adultery, and capital punishment for homosexuality. President Barack Obama, however, feels that Turkey’s Erdogan, a
