The Librul* War on Fact and Science

April 7th, 2012

By Dan Miller Belief can result from a desire to believe and desire to believe can result from wanting to be thought fashionable. Both can be unfortunate as to matters where objective analysis of fact is claimed as the basis. Wars have long been waged in many ways. New ways were developed so that we [...]

Fact and Opinion in the News

January 14th, 2012

By Dan Miller All the news and opinions that fit. Letters from Art Brisbane, the New York Times’ public editor, on the subject of “liberal” bias in opinion pieces, are excerpted here. A problem is that the line between fact and opinion, to the extent that one is a recognizable, can often be unclear. If [...]

What Are “Conservatives?”

January 2nd, 2012

By Dan Miller We have more agreements than disagreements and should make the most of our agreements. The label “Liberal” has been abused to the point that it no longer has the clear and rather inclusive meaning it once had, an open and reflective mind but not an empty head. The equally simple label “Conservative” [...]

Budget Myths versus Reality

November 7th, 2011

By Tom Carter Robert J. Samuelson has been thinking and writing about business and economics for more than 40 years, but he isn’t an economist. That’s in his favor because he’s free to research and evaluate facts unencumbered by the vague theories and detachment from reality that plague economics, known for good reason as “the [...]

Words, Words, Words! I’m So Sick of Words

September 4th, 2011

By Dan Miller Once upon a time, in a far off land, the words Gentleman and Lady had meanings different from today. Gentlemen were males privy to the very person of the King; ladies were females privy to the very person of the Queen. Over the years, the terms came to have more egalitarian, but [...]

Interview about School Bullying

March 24th, 2011

By Dan Miller Here is an audio recording of a March 22nd interview on the Thom Hartmann “progressive” radio program about school bullying. My related article is excerpted here. I was speaking via cellphone from my home in Panamá, so my voice in the recording is more subdued and less distinct than Mr. Hartmann’s. It [...]

How Today’s Liberals Betray Yesterday’s

March 9th, 2011

By Dan Miller The meanings of words change over time. “Gentleman” once meant a person privy to the person of the king; eventually, it meant a man of wealth and station; now, it adorns the entrance to a toilet intended for males. This devolution has done no noticeable harm. However, “liberal” — Thomas Jefferson was [...]

“ObamaCare” Is Offensive to President Obama’s Friends

March 5th, 2011

By Dan Miller I sent a friend a link to my recent article on Judge Kessler’s decision equating the making of a decision not to buy ObamaInsurance with activity in commerce. A “liberal,” his response was, “I wish you would not use the term Obamacare and Obasmainsurance [sic]. It’s offensive and derogatory.” At least he [...]

Priorities for Cutting Government Spending

February 28th, 2011

By Tom Carter It’s often a mistake to paint all of the liberal mainstream media with the same brush. Granted, the New York Times and many others have pretty much descended into being little more than propaganda organs for liberals in general and the Democratic Party in particular. That’s not to say that conservatives and [...]

What (Conservative) Women Want

February 14th, 2011

By Nancy Morgan In the news recently was a story about a workshop being held for guys, to show them how to release their inner child. Step one: learn how to cry. Reading that article made me cry, from sheer frustration. Listen up, guys. Despite what you hear from feminists and other assorted do-gooders, the [...]

Media Stars Parachute into Egypt

February 2nd, 2011

By Tom Carter You can tell an event is a big deal when the TV media stars parachute in to report from the scene. Before their arrival, the reporting is done by the more serious TV crews who work regularly in difficult and sometimes dangerous parts of the world. The uprising in Egypt is now [...]

A Delicious Orgy

January 17th, 2011

By Nancy Morgan Game, set and match to the leftist media. Once again, they have defined the issue and set the terms of the debate on the horrific shootings in Arizona last weekend. He who defines the issues wins. Period. And the liberal media has the right on the ropes — putting them, once again, [...]

The Rise of the Independents

January 7th, 2011

By Tom Carter An interesting Gallup poll has just been released. It measured people’s self-identification as Democrats, Republicans, and Independents. It also identified Independents who lean Democratic or lean Republican. The findings came from a combination of numerous polls, resulting in an uncommonly broad and deep sample. The nature of the sample permits an unusually [...]

Taking a Stand Against Political Correctness

December 12th, 2010

By Nancy Morgan Political correctness is loosely defined as “avoidance of expressions or actions that can be perceived to exclude or marginalize or insult people who are socially disadvantaged or discriminated against.” In other words, millions of Americans have willingly allowed themselves to be placed in the losing position of continually being forced to prove [...]

The Wretched Conservative Spawn Must Not Return!

October 31st, 2010

By Dan Miller Halloween is here and we must again reject our dark past. In 2008, the United States voted overwhelmingly to leave her wicked ways behind and to embark upon the righteous path toward Europeanisation and away from being “irredeemable barbarians and moral inferiors.” We had our first post-racial, post-partisan president and everything got [...]

Obama’s Fatal Flaw

October 25th, 2010

By Nancy Morgan On the campaign trail last month, Obama lambasted Republicans, saying, “Republicans have not come up with one new idea.” Putting aside the fact that Obama is factually incorrect (see Rep. Paul Ryan’s “A GOP Road Map for America’s Future”), his statement embodies the fatal flaw of progressivism. Winston Churchill said, “The farther [...]

News Flash: Life Isn’t Fair!

October 11th, 2010

By Nancy Morgan Just after Obama was elected president, I asked my niece, Sarah, to tell me, in one word, why she voted for him. She thought about it for awhile, and then replied, “equality.” Sarah is a newly minted Ph.D., a recent product of government schools and a very smart woman. Not surprisingly, she [...]

How To Tell If You’re A Conservative

September 20th, 2010

By Nancy Morgan For too long, conservatives have allowed the left to define them. With more Americans becoming disillusioned with Obama, it’s time to counter the media’s portrayal of conservatives as radical, illegitimate extremists, concerned only with amassing wealth and kicking gays. Here’s a quick guide to help identify the basic differences between leftists and [...]

Real Men

August 16th, 2010

By Nancy Morgan Rush Limbaugh stated emphatically last week that “Real men aren’t liberal. And real men, real men, don’t vote for liberals.” Rush, once again, hits the nail on the head. And here’s why. Real men have an innate sense of self that is not dependent on group approval. They have not succumbed to [...]

The Ides of November

June 23rd, 2010

By Larry Ennis The Washington Post recently ran an article by columnist E.J. Dionne, Jr. titled “How Obama changed the right.” It’s an interesting article that attempts to dissect the conservative movement in this country. Dionne seems to think that conservatism has been reborn. Like many other media sages, he seems to let his own [...]
