Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Cassie Jay is a young woman who makes unabashedly Leftist films. Back, in 2010, she made a documentary called “Daddy I Do” that attacked abstinence-only education. Even in liberal Marin, this movie caused a bit of a kerfuffle, as the local art cinema first agreed to show it, then backed
Continue readingDavid Axelrod’s talk yesterday included a shout-out to the lovable Nancy Pelosi, whom he feels is unfairly maligned by the Rushes of this world. Per David, Nancy is not an effete San Francisco liberal. Instead, she’s a tough political operative — for all the right, i.e., Progressive, reasons, of course
Continue reading11B40 asked a good question, which is why I’m so focused on McQueary, when it was Sandusky who committed the crime. It’s because I have no fellow feeling with Sandusky who, if the allegations are true, is a perverted monster. I therefore don’t need to analyze my behavior or parenting
Continue readingDuring the gay marriage debate, I mentioned to a lawyer friend of mine that gay marriage would inevitably set up a church versus state conflict if a church refused to marry a gay couple — especially the Catholic Church, which counts marriage amongst its sacraments. My lawyer friend came back
Continue readingLiam Neeson, who does the voice of Aslan the Lion in the Narnia movies, has upset people by claiming that Aslan could as easily be Allah or Buddha as he could be Christ: Ahead of the release of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader next Thursday, Neeson said: ‘Aslan symbolises
Continue readingWolf Howling has put together just a stellar post about the ongoing attacks on the Catholic church (along with a very nice link to yours truly). If this is a subject that interests you — and it should, whether or not you’re a Catholic, because it goes to attacks on
Continue readingThe media is making hay of the pedophilia scandal involving the Catholic Church. I think that Leftists see issue this as the single brick, down at the bottom of the wall, that, if pulled at hard enough, will bring the whole edifice tumbling down. Just as Jews are persecuted because
Continue readingReaders of my blog know that one of my personal bête noires is liberal indoctrination in public schools. I blog about it frequently. My last outing on that subject was here, and I’ll get back to that in a little bit. First, though, I’d like you to see how one
Continue readingShortly after I started practicing law, the California State Bar decided mandated that all lawyers must comply with annual “Minimum Continuing Legal Education” (“MCLE”) requirement. I was instantly incensed, because it was immediately obvious to me that this had nothing to do with improving the practice of law and everything
Continue readingIn 2008, I strongly supported Romney. I liked his cheerful attitude (somewhat Reaganesque, although he clearly lacks the Great Communicators verbal abilities); I loved the fact that, in both the public and private sector, he has an incredible track record of being effective; and I really appreciated his money savvy.
Continue readingOn the subject of the “secular humanism religion” that guides liberals, it’s informative to read this quotation from William Kristol, writing about Obama’s sudden imperative need to do away with Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell in the American military: But the repeal is something that Obama campaigned on. He believes in
Continue readingThis is a portmanteau post, filled with interesting things I read today, some of which come in neatly matched sets. Opening today’s San Francisco Moronicle, the first thing I saw was that an illegal teen’s arrest is causing a stir in San Francisco’s halls of power. You see, San Francisco
Continue readingIt’s always interesting to hear my husband, a militant atheist, and me, a respectful agnostic/atheist, talk about the Bible to the kids. Today, my husband tackled the story of the sacrifice of Isaac. He told the kids that the whole point of the story is to remind religious people that
Continue readingTwo views of moral behavior, one from the source, and one from an English divine: God: Thou shalt not steal. (Exodus 20:15) A priest in England: It is far better for people desperate during the recession to shoplift than turn to ‘prostitution, mugging or burglary’. It is true that, under
