Obama Non Grata

By: lukematthews (Diary)  |  March 12th at 09:03 AM  | 

Much ado has been made recently about the demise of the Republican Party and the growing sense in the New York/Washington bubble that Obama will be re-elected.  It’s certainly possible the ?improving? jobs’ numbers and economic data could give Obama enough momentum to slide into a second term.  Certainly his media advantage, his wars on conservatives, women, and the productive sector have ginned-up his base, | Read More »

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 »

The Theocratic Red Herring

By: lukematthews (Diary)  |  February 28th at 06:49 PM  | 

This whole kerfuffle over Obama’s dictates about abortion, contraception, and reproductive rights has the left arguing their usual nonsense about keeping church and state separate.  Rooted in their argument is a basic ignorance of the Constitution and its purpose.  Professor Obama is first among these ignoramuses.  The reason the First Amendment of the Constitution is worded in such a way is to prevent “the Church” | Read More »

The Bacon Analogy: The Libertarian Case Against Gov. Contraception Edicts

By: lukematthews (Diary)  |  February 17th at 10:57 AM  | 

The virulent Left and Democratic Party have their talking points all in a row.  They have decided to take a bunch of quotes from Rick Santorum and create a false narrative about Republicans and contraception.  We’ve been figuring out their game these past few days starting from the ABC News debate moderated by George Snuffalupagus.  The Democratic operative, pretending to be a journalist, had an | Read More »

The Bungled v. Conservative Case for Same-Sex Unions

By: lukematthews (Diary)  |  January 16th at 02:21 PM  | 

This past weekend, there were several articles addressing the marriage amendment up for a vote this coming fall.  Instead of dealing with it rationally, the Star Tribune printed two articles that merely defame conservatives without addressing the actual issue. The Democratic Party is creating a narrative that suggests if you are for the amendment, which merely memorializes the law as it stands, you are engaging | Read More »

MSM’s “Weak Tea” Party Protest

By: lukematthews (Diary)  |  January 11th at 10:41 PM  | 

You know it’s gotten bad when the Democratic spokesmodels at the reliably liberal Star Tribune are chiding President Obama.  In a commentary entitled, ‘Recess appointment flap — a sign of the rule-bending times,’ Strib editor D.J. Tice has some cautionary words for his friends on the left.  Using a comparison that is more akin to that of the Tea Party, Tice warns that if we let | 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 »

The Chevy Volt: Symbol of the Obama Administration

By: lukematthews (Diary)  |  December 6th at 06:47 PM  | 

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 »

The Moral Bankruptcy of the Democratic Party

By: lukematthews (Diary)  |  November 6th at 04:16 PM  | 

Politics are just the weighing of differing means to an end.  Two elements are necessary when making a political case.  First, you must have a moral argument that justifies taking the action.  Second, that argument must have a moral standard that proves its means are acceptable.  We are watching, in rather stunned disbelief, as the Democratic Party abandons all pretenses of morality to justify the | Read More »

Cain “Makes the Hair on my Neck Stand Up”

By: lukematthews (Diary)  |  October 29th at 11:51 AM  | 

Sometimes the most rabid protestors are the guiltiest of the sin they hate.  Ulli Ryder in the New York Daily News has decided that Herman Cain is a racist.  Ryder believes Cain is guilty of pandering to rich white conservatives and therefore he is furthering old racist stereotypes to the detriment of the African-American community.  She thinks there are specific criteria that can determine a | Read More »
