The StarTribune did the right thing this past weekend. They condemned Hamline’s aborted offer to have Tom Emmer, the Republican nominee for Minnesota governor in 2010, teach business law classes. They attacked it on ethical grounds, arguing Hamline promised diverse viewpoints and ideas as part of their mission and denying a conservative a teaching position was wrong. They also stated it wasn’t fair to Emmer | Read More »
The eruption of alleged malfeasance by the Attorney General of the United States Eric Holder should not be a surprise to anyone. This man was a deeply flawed candidate for the post and was cheered on by Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar. This is not a tale of guilt by association or partisan sniping. This is a post about the questionable judgment exhibited by Klobuchar during | Read More »
Nothing exemplifies the history and accomplishments of the Obama administration like the Chevy Volt. The Chevy Volt was an experimental electric car that was supposed to bring our nation into the future. The Obama administration was an experiment that would change our economy from a capitalist, free market economy, into a centralized command and control economy planned by the brightest and the best. The Chevy | Read More »
We have been promised by Democrats like Minnesota’s U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar that if we just passed a bunch of well-intentioned laws, we would never be robbed by those greedy Wall Street overlords. It was the mean, vile bankers and investment gurus that were putting our democracy and economy at risk. If only we passed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, all our | Read More »
The current bugaboo invented by the progressive/socialist Left, is on the subject of economic class in this country. They are ginning up a kind of class envy that is supposed to divide us by income and/or wealth. Several problems arise with this tactic. There is no economic class in this country because there is just too much socio-economic mobility. This subject divides people into distinctions | Read More »
When Jimmy Fallon’s little band played the beginning of the song, “Lyin’ Ass Bitch” from Fishbone as an overture to Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann’s entry on the stage, it was an intentional act to shame her. The Roots, Fallon’s show band, has routinely played songs as a kind of commentary on the guest’s perceived moral or personal fitness. It was all in good fun to | Read More »
“There are few things more precious in a democracy than the public’s trust in our government and our leaders,” Klobuchar said. “The people of Minnesota have put their trust in me. In everything I do as Senator, I will be guided by that trust. I’m coming to do the people’s work.” Sen Amy Klobuchar at her swearing in ceremony upon becoming a Senator representing Minnesota | Read More »
Well, we are seeing the fruit from the poisonous tree of progressive/socialism and it isn’t pretty. Coming out of Portland’s KMTR.com, ‘I-5 traffic stop yields incendiary devices and gas masks,’ a story about three Occupy Portland protestors shows these people are growing more incendiary. In a routine traffic stop for speeding, three young men were found with fireworks, glass jars, and masks and goggles. This | Read More »
Washing across the country is a maelstrom of progressive/socialist voter identification outrage. Mean old Republicans are trying to disenfranchise little old ladies in Tennessee. Dorothy Cooper, who is described as a 96 year-old woman who has voted for decades, was recently denied a voter identification card. Lori Sturdevant of the StarTribune highlighted this tragic tale of voter disenfranchisement in an article entitled, ‘A good target | Read More »
This past week provided both challenges and successes electorally. No ballot failure was quite as stinging as the passage of a referendum repealing the Republican union restriction law in Ohio. Gov. John Kasich, and the Republicans controlling the legislature, passed a law this past spring that would have saved taxpayers billions of dollars. It limited public union collective bargaining to wages and working conditions and | Read More »
