Baby

My son’s got a temperature tonight and hasn’t been able to stay asleep longer than an hour or so at a time. I was home with him today and my wife was with him yesterday. I feel so badly for him. His forehead is so hot and I can see him shiver like I remember [...]

The wild side.

And the liberals go ‘do d-do d-do do d-do’…. Like clockwork these people try to deligitimize debate by calling conservatives Nazis. “Don’t you care about people?” they wonder. “Are you a monster?” they ask. “I don’t want to live in a country that doesn’t take care of it’s own.” they bleat. Conservatives care about people. [...]

UPDATE

I called it a “misdirection” in my earlier post. Thomas Sowell calls it a “bait and switch”: It’s called “bait and switch” when an unscrupulous business advertises one thing and tries to sell you something else. When politicians do it, it is far more dangerous to far more people. Deception is not an incidental aspect [...]

How is race, gender or ethnicity relevant to the application of law to facts? You’d think that it’s not, but you’d be wrong. To Obama, the law isn’t as important [...]

What’s on their minds?

There was a time when people who violated the rules of war were not entitled to turn around and claim the protection of those rules. German soldiers who put on U.S. military uniforms in order to infiltrate American lines during the Battle of the Bulge were simply lined up against a wall and shot. American [...]

Zombie time.

Excellent piece by Peter Leeson over at the Washington Times this past Friday. When ineffective producers fail, resources committed to producing goods we value less are freed for producing goods we value more. Polaroid’s failure released resources for the production of digital cameras; Commodore Computers’ failure released resources for the production of IBM computers; and [...]

Sowell speaks, I listen.

Thomas Sowell : An Emergency Review – Townhall.com. It is one of the painful signs of our times that millions of people are so easily swayed by rhetoric that they show virtually no interest at all in finding out the hard facts. Any number of other countries already have government-controlled medical professions. Yet few Americans [...]
