Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
“I sent the club a wire stating, ‘PLEASE ACCEPT MY RESIGNATION. I DON’T WANT TO BELONG TO ANY CLUB THAT WILL ACCEPT PEOPLE LIKE ME AS A MEMBER.’” — Groucho Marx, quoting a telegram he sent to the Friar’s Club of Beverly Hills, as recounted in Groucho and Me (1959),
Continue readingOne of the things I love about Andrew Breitbart is that he’s willing to challenge the bluffs and cons emanating from the Left. While the Republican establishment was apologizing for the alleged claim that Tea Partiers hurled the “n-word,” Breitbart figured out that the absence of footage was significant —
Continue readingHorrified by the fact that the American people are not dancing in the streets now that Obama Care is the law of the land, the Left is doing what it does best: tarring and feathering anyone who stands in its way. The current libel is that people who oppose Obama
Continue readingI can think of a billion reasons to dislike Harry Reid. The fact that he called Obama a “negro” is not one of them. It simply shows his age. (Although I do agree with Lloyd Marcus that it’s fine to be offended by Reid’s assumptions about white Americans.) The problem,
Continue readingI just returned from seeing Disney’s latest release, The Princess and the Frog. Looked at purely from an entertainment standpoint, the movie is a delight. The hand drawn animation is imaginative and, at times, exquisitely beautiful. When the Bayou lights up at sunset with fireflies, every little girl in the
Continue readingWhen I was a very little girl, back in the hard drinking 1960s, an expression I frequently heard was that someone or something needed a bit of “the hair of the dog that bit you.” I used to think that actually meant people would consume dog hair to cure their
Continue readingI remain absolutely convinced that Obama, the boy genius of the left, is a product of affirmative action who is hiding his academic record because it is dismal. If it weren’t dismal, he’d be showing it off. Frankly, though, after thirty years of affirmative action, we expected nothing more from
Continue readingYesterday, I noted two sterling examples of physical bravery in the battlefield. I’d like, today, to pay homage to moral bravery in the face of both verbal and physical attacks. Despite withering fire from her school and the community, and despite threat physical confrontations, knife threats and property attacks, conservative
Continue readingIs Obama telling a true story or not? I don’t know and with Obama’s credibility gap, it’s impossible to tell. It doesn’t matter, though. What does matter is that, by relaying this anecdote, Obama is keeping alive the Obama/Hitler analogy: President Obama at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation dinner last
Continue readingAfter talking about a guest on NPR who explained that “personal responsibility” is racist code for hostility to blacks (because they can’t be responsible?), Mark Steyn states the obvious about the whole “criticizing Obama is racist” theme: “Code language” is code language for “total bollocks.” “Code word” is a code
Continue readingWhenever I read the news, I’m being told that those who disagree with Obama do so based on his color. Ordinary Americans simply can’t handle a black man in a power position and reflexively disagree with him and wish him ill. It’s not even personal, we’re told. It’s just that
Continue readingI finally figured out what the “Obama in whiteface is racist” charge made me think of: The Sarah Silverman Program Makeup Artist www.comedycentral.com Joke of the Day Stand-Up Comedy Free Online Games Claiming that Sarah Silverman’s ridiculous attempt at blackface was racist is as foolish as complaining that Obama’s remake
Continue readingHere’s a bad, almost cruel, joke, but nevertheless a pointed and important one: Two men met on the street. One looked very angry. “What’s the problem?” asked the first man of his friend. “I’m r-r-really a-a-ngry,” he stuttered. “I app-ap-applied for a j-j-job as an an-an-announcer at the-the-the r-r-r-radio s-s-station

While he is a die-hard Democrat, he’s also nobody’s fool. Here’s his take on the Gates kerfuffle. America got a good
Continue readingBeing a police or other type of security officer is, by definition, a risky job. It’s entirely possible to find oneself in a low risk situation, such as the town in which I live. Crimes here tend to revolve around shoplifting, speeding, vandalism, etc. I know of several young officers
