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 »

My First Night at MN GOP Caucuses

By: lukematthews (Diary)  |  February 12th at 02:13 PM  | 

Attending my first GOP caucus as a participant was an exciting experience.  I had some butterflies going in because I wouldn’t know anyone there and it was something new.  The experience was quite different from what I had expected.  I’d like to flesh out my overall impressions a little more fully.  For those who are old hands at caucuses, this may seem to be a | Read More »

The EPA’s “Slide Rule of Law”

By: lukematthews (Diary)  |  January 2nd at 03:46 PM  | 

Fox Lake Power Plant has been listed as an electrical generating plant to be closed down by the EPA ostensibly due to it being ‘dirty’ and not complying with new rules generated by the EPA administrator uber-radical Lisa Jackson.  In my last post I questioned why this small rural Minnesota power plant being placed on the list because it doesn’t even burn coal and hasn’t | Read More »

The EPA’s War on Fox Lake Power Plant

By: lukematthews (Diary)  |  December 26th at 03:01 PM  | 

The Obama administration’s EPA has declared a war on coal-fired power plants.  The president famously remarked he didn’t care if coal power plants operated, but he would make sure they were cost-prohibitive.  His EPA rolled out rules that would make coal-burning power plants a target in his war on mercury and other pollutants.  His radical EPA chief said, “This has been 20 years in the | Read More »

Throw Out the 43%ers!!!

“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 »

Dayton’s Potemkin Village Tour – Dayton’s Shutdown

By: lukematthews (Diary)  |  July 13th at 07:25 PM  | 

Minnesota Democrats and Governor Mark Dayton are in a pickle.  Dayton believed if he just stood up to the newly elected Republican legislature and made them appear extreme, public opinion would flood to his side.  Dayton was elected by 43% of the vote due to a RINO third party candidate and now he thinks he has a firm mandate to shutdown the state to rob | Read More »

“You Can’t Really Create a ‘Good Life’ If You Don’t Have a Government” – MN Shutdown

By: lukematthews (Diary)  |  July 9th at 12:36 PM  | 

This week has been quite exciting what with the ongoing state government ?shutdown? and a Britney Spears concert on Wednesday night.  [We don’t know, though there has been speculation, whether Governor Dayton and Spears are on the same meds or not.]  Regardless, some exciting developments have been occurring in the North Star State that I want to catch you up on.  One of the stellar | Read More »

“Stocked His Freezer with Canned Goods” – Day Two of Dayton’s Shutdown

By: lukematthews (Diary)  |  July 2nd at 11:24 AM  | 

Day Two This whole shutdown thing isn’t going quite as they planned.  Several problems are arising in Governor Mark Dayton and the progressive/socialist wing of the Democratic Party’s plan to starve out the Minnesota population with a government shutdown.  First, the economic pain envisioned by Dayton isn’t happening.  Second, we are finding ourselves with a ‘government by fiat’ situation instead of a democratic republic.  Finally, Minnesotans are | Read More »

Minnesota’s Shutdown: We’re Not All Dead Yet

By: lukematthews (Diary)  |  July 1st at 05:55 PM  | 

According to the hysterical Democratic-Party run media in Minnesota, this day would be a day that would live in infamy.  KARE-11 television station has been handwringing so vigorously it’s a surprise they have any skin left.  The Star Tribune has been acting as if this would be the “Day After Tomorrow.”  I woke up this morning expecting all the oxygen to have been depleted.  With | Read More »

The Spooky Dewds Target, Well Target

By: lukematthews (Diary)  |  June 8th at 10:14 PM  | 

Last year Target and Best Buy contributed to a conservative political action group called Minnesota Forward.  This group spent money that bought ads to counter the labor union spending in the governor’s race.  There was a huge backlash against these corporations by progressive groups.  They argued Republican nominee Tom Emmer was an extremist because, like our president, he supported traditional marriage.  This was all artifice.  | Read More »
