Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Here’s an old joke: An established comedian invited a friend to join him at a very exclusive “comedian’s club.” The guest instantly noticed something peculiar. In the main room, a person would periodically stand up and shout out a number. “57,” one would say, and a few people in the
Continue readingThe two top names currently being bandied about for the Democrat presidential slate in 2016 are Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren. Democrats are saying that Hillary is “inevitable.” I recall them saying the same thing in 2008, and that was before she had the Benghazi albatross hanging about her neck.
Continue readingI made a video about Hillary’s frequent, and egregious, lapses from the civility that she demands of others. Here’s a request I have for you: someone told me that there may be video of Hillary heckling Bill’s opponent, Lynn Lowe, during the 1978 Arkansas governor’s race. Do any of you
Continue readingYesterday I directed your attention to one of the angriest editorial opinions I’ve ever seen in the normally temperate Wall Street Journal. What I missed was that Daniel Henninger, who’s also a normally temperate writer, also leveled a huge mortar round of ugly facts against our President: We should admit
Continue readingRich Lowry wrote a great article today about the Democrats’ enormous frustration with Ted Cruz: Cruz ought to be one of them, since he’s manifestly brilliant and hyper-educated . . . except that he refuses to be one of them. I especially liked this bit: Democrats and liberal pundits would
Continue readingI wasn’t paying attention, but it seems that the New York Times now has a dedicated Hillary reporter, even though the elections is more than three years away. Does this mean that we can finally abandon the pretense of media impartiality? This far in advance, having that kind of round-the-clock,
Continue readingSometimes distance provides perspective. My travels meant that, rather than being enveloped by news as I usually am, I read it only intermittently, and often through the New York Times’ filter, since that was the only news to which I had access for many days at a time. The few
Continue readingThe National Enquirer led off this story with the news that Hillary will finally admit she’s lesbian. I found more interesting the fact that she might be exposing the Obama White House’s secrets, everything from alcoholism and martial woes, to Valerie Jarrett’s tight control. Here’s the post I did at
Continue readingA little more than a week ago, no one had heard of Lois Lerner. Now she is the poster child for government machinery run amok. She first thrust herself into our awareness with her clumsily staged revelation that, “Oh, by the way, the IRS persecuted conservatives, but really, there’s nothing
Continue readingI really love Facebook. It helps me hone my epigrammatic skills, since I believe it demands some brevity; it allows me, in sneaky fashion, to expose my liberal friends to articles and ideas that don’t normally appear on their horizons; and it allows me to get a window into what
Continue readingI wrote a lovely post, right here, last night. Cheerfully hit the “publish” button and went to bed — only to wake up this morning to discover that the post not only didn’t get published, it vanished entirely. I’m not sure I can replicate it, but I’ll try. The point
Continue readingOne of my Facebook friends who is, like me, a refugee from the Left, put together a perfect summary of what came out of today’s testimony. If you’re on Facebook, please share this article or just block and copy this summary and send it around: What have we learned so
Continue reading(This is another Mr. Conservative post that perfectly reflects my views on the subject. If you’d like to join the Special Operations Speaks’ petition, you can find it here.) For the past several months, the administration has worked hard to keep the public focused on gun control and gay marriage,
Continue readingCongressional Republicans have been working hard lately at something we all should care about — talking to the Benghazi survivors. Sen. Lindsay Graham has been making it something of a personal crusade. As far as he’s concerned, there’s a cover-up going on: Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, in an extensive interview
Continue readingEarlier today, while my kids were still at school, I wrote about the way in which unions pushed a Leftist agenda into the classroom. I should not have been surprised, therefore, when Little Bookworm came home from high school and told me that, because one of the teachers was absent,
