Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I like free speech. I like to use good ideas to challenge bad ideas. I think the whole point of political correctness is to erase our ability even to entertain thoughts about freedom, justice, and our inherent (not government-given, but inherent) rights as set forth in the Bill of Rights.

Once again that this blog’s motto is proven correct. My blog’s motto is “Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.” The only thing wrong with the motto is that the word “liberal” is a poor substitute for a whole category of Leftists and
Continue readingI disagree with Cleese when he says that political correctness was ever a good idea, and I hope he just said that as a polite pander in order to ensure that people stay and listen to the entire video. After all, Cleese never could have starred in this wonderful scene
Continue readingOnce multiculturalism started losing its kick, cultural appropriation became the latest version of the Left’s endless assault on free speech, freedom of association, and free thought. It’s also part of the Left’s ongoing effort to Balkanize and destroy America. Bill Whittle treats it with the contempt it deserves:

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you: Trump, Clinton, The American Republic & The Ides Of March

I’ll get you started, and then you have to click on the link to finish: At the beginning of December, Rolling Stone writer Jeff Goodell asked Secretary of

Continue readingIt’s ironic that on the eve of the 74th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, our President announced that the only thing that is infamous is (a) the Constitution (with primary focus on the 1st and 2nd Amendments) and (b) the apparently boundless (but surprisingly never acted upon) racism,

Here goes: Only conservatives are paying attention In an attempt to deflect attention of Muslim depredations in Paris, the Left and its foot soldiers (all of whom seem to be my Facebook friends) immediately
Continue readingWhen my Leftie friends talk about getting the Big Money out of politics, they’re very explicit about whose money they want out: Money going to conservative and libertarian causes. They’re fine with Soros’s and Steyer’s money. Knowing that, I’m reflexively hostile to the campaign finance reform that Leftists demand is a
Continue readingI admit it. I can’t keep my eyes off the spectacle playing out at Yale and UMissouri, with side shows now taking place at campuses across America. I’ve been saying since my Berkeley days that American higher education is sick, sick, sick and, in a sad way, I feel vindicated.
Continue readingI like to Fall backwards, since it means I rise with the sun, which is a lot easier than getting up in the deep of night. Still, I’ve been discombobulated today, my computer has been balky, and my brain sluggish. Both the computer and I seem to have Daylight Saving
Continue readingBoehner was merely an effective manager, rather than an effective conservative Andrew Klavan is kind enough to point out that Boehner was in some measure a very effective House Majority Leader: I can’t help but notice that under Boehner — and largely because of Boehner, because Boehner outsmarted President Obama in the
