The Progressives Anti-Scientific Approach to Economics

By: lukematthews (Diary)  |  March 11th at 01:46 PM  | 

We are lectured ad nauseum about how conservatives are anti-science, moralizing crusaders who are unable to use pragmatism to solve social problems.  Then, when a socio-economic problem is addressed applying solid, accepted scientific principles, progressives lose their heads.  Jon Tevlin, an accomplice of the progressive/socialist wing of the Minnesota Democratic Party, is a shining example of this soft-headed, anti-scientific approach.  He posits human beings are | Read More »

Klobuchar = Obama

By: lukematthews (Diary)  |  July 30th at 12:37 PM  | 

[I posted this at Redstate because many of us across the country are going to see Senate elections next year with Democrats pretending to be moderates.  We cannot allow those lies to go unchallenged.] There is a narrative being played in the Minnesota media that Sen. Amy Klobuchar is A. moderate and B. unbeatable.  Neither of these is true.  Senator Amy Klobuchar is not only | Read More »

$1.6 Trillion

By: lukematthews (Diary)  |  April 9th at 01:51 PM  | 

That’s how much our federal deficit for 2011 was before “the biggest annual spending cut in history,” as President Obama puts it, and just as big after.  That’s just how huge our spending problem is.  Even after a prolonged battle over cuts to the federal budget, the rounding error worth of cuts doesn’t even budge the number.  This is not only disgraceful but deeply, ridiculously | Read More »

Anti-Bullying Rules for the Senate

By: lukematthews (Diary)  |  November 26th at 12:07 PM  | 

There has been a hue and cry over anti-bullying legislation in schools.  This legislation is supposed driven by the GiBLeT community over startling injustices and actions against sexual minorities.  As usual, this is a farce by the far wing collectivists to serve scraps to their allies in the gay and lesbian community.  Schools should be no bullying zones for all children regardless of sexual orientation | Read More »

The Governess

By: lukematthews (Diary)  |  May 29th at 11:30 AM  | 

In Minnesota, we are used to hearing about how wonderful it is to be thy brother’s keeper.  Do-gooding, busybodies are exalted as paragons of virtue.  As a result, we have elected the penultimate meddler in human interaction, Senator Nanny Klobuchar.  She embodies that ever-expanding creep of governmental control over each and every aspect of our lives.  Senator Nanny believes quite sincerely that regular citizens are | Read More »

Some Coal for Their Stockings

By: lukematthews (Diary)  |  December 22nd at 10:32 PM  | 

It has been a particularly potent strategy when dissidents have used object lessons to deliver their point.  The dumping of tea into the Boston Harbor, sitting at lunch counters where they weren’t welcome, and candle light vigils for fallen heroes have demonstrated the power of symbols over simple, verbal speech.  We have yet to begin really mounting symbolic demonstrative speech and we are consistantly ignored.  | Read More »

Adult Supervision

By: lukematthews (Diary)  |  July 12th at 02:23 PM  | 

It is unfortunate that the DFL has decided to install another wildly profligate spender in Congress in the form of Al Franken. The national Democratic Party has become so out of control on spending, we are immersing ourselves in an economic quagmire from which we may not be able to emerge. This orgy of radical spending is creating such an enormous debt and spending liability | Read More »

Unrepentant Propaganda

By: lukematthews (Diary)  |  May 17th at 12:07 PM  | 

Since our DFL (Democratic Farm-Labor) party has decided to steal this senate seat by stuffing ballot boxes and ignoring absentee ballots from GOP leaning districts, half a senator has represented the great state of Minnesota.  However, rather than looking at the pathetic, left leaning job that senator has been doing, the press is pumping up her image.  Amy Klobuchar is a mediocre politician who follows | Read More »
