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 »

Why Jon Corzine Won’t End Up in Jail

By: lukematthews (Diary)  |  December 3rd at 12:38 PM  | 

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 Real Story of Dorothy Cooper, Disenfranchised Voter

By: lukematthews (Diary)  |  November 13th at 12:07 PM  | 

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 »

It’s Always Somebody Else’s Fault

By: lukematthews (Diary)  |  October 8th at 11:36 AM  | 

What is it about history that makes Strib ‘reporters’ so, well, ignorant?  As we have seen, Jill Burcum couldn’t figure out Paul Revere’s ride and on a daily basis StarTribune reporters pervert historical facts in order to drive their wacky progressive/socialist narrative.  Lori Sturdevant is the latest ‘journalist’ to distort the past in order to make some cockeyed political point.  She likens the idiotic experiment | Read More »

“Would Love to See You and Me . . . Hanging on a Tree”

By: lukematthews (Diary)  |  September 3rd at 03:01 PM  | 

These are the words of a progressive, Congressional Black Caucus member, a Democrat by the name of Andre Carson, Indiana Representative.  Carson was making these remarks at a Congressional Black Caucus event in Miami.  This was an event sponsored by the CBC and part of a tour to several cities.  Carson was not speaking for himself, but as a member of the CBC.  Here are | 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 »

Sarah Palin’s History Lesson

By: lukematthews (Diary)  |  June 7th at 09:22 PM  | 

Just when you think the intellectual dishonesty can’t get much worse at the Strib, Jill Burcum [editorial board member and left wing wacko] opens up her laptop and doodles.  The video of Sarah Palin answering someone’s question about Paul Revere has the loony left in stitches.  Everybody knows, the progressive/socialists cackle, that Paul Revere rode out to warn the Americans about the approach of the British.  | 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 Claw Hammer of Obamacare

By: lukematthews (Diary)  |  October 16th at 10:36 AM  | 

Today’s editorial in the StarTribune;  A snag in health reform rollout, is a prime example of why we should repeal Obamacare as soon as possible.  Obamacare has barely nudged its nose out of the gate.  Its impact is hardly even present.  And yet, we are now seeing what effects this abysmal piece of sophomoric legislation will have on the greatest health care system ever.  The | Read More »
