Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
One of the really icky things about the Left is that it lacks a moral compass. There is no good or evil. There are only evil haves and victimized have-nots. In a sane moral universe, cultural arbiters would readily be able to distinguish the good guys from the bad guys
Continue readingA friend of mine has a family member who has been called up for duty in Israel. I know that, all over Israel, young men and young women are being mobilized. Some sadly, may not come home, although I wish all of them would, just as I wish every one
Continue readingWhen the Left talks about “the children,” they only mean certain children. For example, the useful idiots working at the New York Times have never waxed lyrical about the Israeli children killed in pizza parlors, in their homes, or at bus stops. They’ve never expressed concern about the thousands of
Continue readingThe sentiments in the article claiming pot is a parenting panacea aren’t that surprising. Pot users have always touted marijuana’s benefits in the alternative press. What’s a little surprising about this article, which claims that one man became an infinitely better parent because of his pot use, is that the
Continue readingArthur Brisbane has written a rumination about his two years’ as the New York Times’ public editor. It is an interesting piece, as notes the way in which (a) the New York Times has slimmed its one massive corporate holdings so that they consist only of core news corporations and
Continue readingFor the MSM, the George Zimmerman thing has turned out to be a bust. With the exception of the fact that Trayvon Martin is still dead, everything the MSM first reported about the case has proven to be untrue. Right about now, you’d think that the media would be engaged
Continue readingOn a regular basis, the New York Times launches an attack against the military. Or more accurately, against the men and women (especially the men) who serve in the military. We get stories about their high drug abuse rates, high crime rates, high insanity rates, and high suicide rates. Usually,
Continue readingI want a job at the New York Times. It is clearly a place that pays people to be stupid. David Brooks gives Charles Murray’s Coming Apart: The State of White America, 1960-2010 a very nice review. Coming Apart claims that there is a big divide between rich Americans and
Continue readingI never liked Jean-Luc Godard movies. I go to movies to be entertained, not bored. He failed my simple test. Aside from being (in my mind) a boring film maker, it turns out that he is, as well, a deep, blatant, vicious antisemite. Of course, if you’re a New York

If you don’t have time to click on over, here’s the money quote: Wikileaks is a small cabal of people who, in their own site description, “Publishes and comments on

His worship for Communist China — which in typical Friedman fashion routinely takes the form of acknowledging
Continue readingOver at Michelle Malkin’s site, Doug Powers reports that the New York Times is trying to dig up dirt on Boehner — specifically, sexual dirt. In a post entitled “Had An Affair With John Boehner? Please Call 1-866-NYT-DEMS,” Powers links to a New York Post story that has the Times
Continue readingJoseph Stack, the man who flew a plane into the IRS building in Austin, Texas, left a long, a very long, pre-suicide/pre-murder screed identifying those issues that drove him to commit his act. The most obvious thing about the screed is that it is the work of someone with cognitive
Continue readingFrom The Weekly Standard: With the release of hundreds of emails by scientists advocates of global warming showing obvious and entirely inappropriate collusion by the authors — including attempts to suppress dissent, to punish journals that publish peer-reviewed studies casting doubt on global warming, and to manipulate data to bolster
Continue readingLiberals assured us back in 2008 that, after the horrible Cowboy Bush years, we needed someone charming to bring rogue governments back into the American fold. So far, these same rogue governments have been resistant to Obama’s charm, whether in Russia or the Palestinian territories* or Iran, just to to
