Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Passover tells us that tyrants fall only when revolution affects them directly and that revolutions are successful only when focused on individual liberty. Passover, which begins tonight, is about so many things: the Jewish people’s renewed covenant with God; their escape from slavery; the journey that ended with the Ten

The upcoming Winston Churchill biopic reminds us that a nation’s elite tend to have nothing but disdain for an indispensable man — a man such as Trump. I tend to be leery of biopics because I hate having my history filtered through Hollywood. It always grates on me when I

A weekend migraine kept me glued to watching Supernatural, which was about all I had the mental and physical energy to do. A couple of months ago, when I was still fairly new to the show, I blogged that it is both a moral show and a pro-Christian show. Regarding the latter point,
Continue readingAs you all know, the Supreme Court this morning issued a 5-4 decision, authored by Anthony Kennedy, finding a hitherto hidden right to same-sex marriage in the American Constitution. I have not yet read the decision, but nevertheless I have a few points to make regardless of the reasoning that
Continue readingAn antisemitic Jew I know, rather than seeing the Passover ceremony as the celebration of freedom (the world’s first and for a long time only successful slave revolt), and of justice and morality (the Ten Commandments), derides the whole ceremony as the unconscionable and immoral celebration of the genocide of
Continue readingKids like to say “you’re not the boss of me.” Well, this fantastic video reminds us that, when it comes to America’s top-heavy government, every citizen has the right — and quite possibly the duty — to say those words: Hat tip: Power Line
Continue readingCase in point: Here’s the biographical information Peterffy included with the video, which he plans to spend several million dollars running in swing states: Thomas Peterffy grew up in socialist Hungary. Despite the fact that he could not speak English when he immigrated to the United States in 1956, Thomas

Continue readingMax Boot reminds conservatives that people who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones, at least not when it comes to crowing about the Leftist habit of embracing dictators. Over the decades, conservatives have done more than their fair share of dancing with bad guys: It occurred to me, re-reading
Continue readingTwo things happened on November 26, two entirely unrelated things, that nevertheless ended up merging into a single thought in my mind: In the modern world, fossil fuels equal liberty. If you cannot assure the people the former, forget about trying to foist upon them the latter. Let me walk
Continue readingMaybe what we see today is a final struggle for America between those that want to be free and those that don’t.
Continue readingWhat the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) protestors don’t realize (yet) is that they have been suckered into becoming the agents of their own enslavement. Orwell had it so right in defining the Left because he was a man of the Left. The term “Orwellian” now refers to the Left’s use
Continue readingThis is Ronald Reagan’s 1964 “Time for Choosing” speech. What’s fascinating about it is that, while some of the details are dated, the overarching principles are as fresh today as they were almost 50 years ago. That’s because freedom is an ageless concept, and that’s what Ronald Reagan is articulating.
Continue readingA couple of weeks ago, I included in a post the statement that Barack Obama is anti-American. A dear and respected friend suggested that I was exaggerating. Obama may have a different vision of or goal for America, he said, but that’s scarcely the same as being anti-American. I’ve been
Continue readingAll of us have long known that poverty in America isn’t like poverty anywhere else in the world. There really isn’t anything here comparable to the poverty in Haiti, or Calcutta, or large swathes of Africa. Even poor people have televisions and phones. And it’s apparent that a surprising number
