Four Scenarios for the 2012 Presidential Contest

    Cross-posted at Unified Patriots In the next five months a lot of things may happen that have an impact on who wins the presidential contest. We’ve already seen biased analysis by political pundits with their own agenda of either striving for attention or scaring folks. I am not a political pundit, and the only reason I have for writing this piece is to provide a | Read More »

    Barack ‘I Don’t Know Much About History’ Obama

    Cross-posted at Unified Patriots President Obama got a laugh out of a Maryland audience when he mocked the Republican Party in a speech, comparing their skepticism of alternative energy to the “Flat Earth Society” in Christopher Columbus’ day and President Rutherford B. Hayes’ apparent dismissal of the telephone. But while Obama thinks the GOP is in need of a science lesson, he may need to | Read More »

    Same Play – Different Cast

    There are some similarities between the 1928 and 2008 election. In both cases there was no incumbent President or VP running from either party, and one party won control of both chambers of Congress and the WH. Herbert Hoover won 40 out of 48 states and 444 to 87 in the electoral college. In the House the Rs had 270 seats and the Ds had | Read More »

    Architects of Ruin

    I just finished reading Architects of Ruin by Peter Schweizer. It is an excellent investigative report about how leftists wrecked the global economy, and will do it again if no one stops them. The author is not an economist, but his writing style reminds me of Jack Anderson back at a time when there were real investigative reporters. Today there are no real investigative reporters | Read More »

    Barack’s America

    Barack’s America is a land in which women would be forced into having abortions, conservatives would sit at segregated lunch counters, rogue police could break down conservative talk-radio hosts’ doors in raids, schoolchildren could not be taught about American exceptionalism, conservative writers and artists would be censored at the whim of government, and the doors of the federal courts would be shut on the fingers | Read More »

    Once Was Blind But Now Can See

    All honor to Jefferson–to the man who, in the concrete pressure of a struggle for national independence by a single people, had the coolness, forecast, and capacity to introduce into a merely revolutionary document, an abstract truth, applicable to all men and all times, and so to embalm it there, that today, and in all coming days, it shall be a rebuke and a stumbling | Read More »

    A Nation Founded On Prosperity Economics

    Chapter 8 of W. Cleon Skousen’s book is titled Prosperity Economics. I have read thirteen chapters out of thirty-one, but I feel compelled to write this diary before I finally finish the book. The Founding Fathers made this country a land of fantastic economic opportunity because they wrote a Constitution with the free market principles set forth in the book Adam Smith wrote in 1776, | Read More »

    Nothing New Under the Sun about Political Party Infighting Notwithstanding the Hand-wringing of Colin Powell and Arlen Specter

    A tip of the hat to Steve Foley linking a blogger who wrote the following: 2009-05-13 Thomas Jefferson warned us of Heretics [RINOs] 1803 AD “I have spoken of the [Republicans] as if they were a homogenous body, but this is not the truth. Under that name lurks the heretical sect of [liberals]. Afraid to wear their own name, they creep under the mantle of | Read More »

    Alexis de Tocqueville Describes Barack Obama’s America

    In Democracy in America, published in 1835, Tocqueville wrote of his travels through America in the early 19th Century when the market revolution, Western expansion, and Jacksonian democracy were radically transforming the fabric of American life. He saw democracy as an equation that balanced liberty and equality, concern for the individual as well as the community. America, in contrast to the aristocratic ethic, was a | Read More »

    The Needy Get Something – The Greedy Get Nothing

    The Needy Get Something – The Greedy Get Nothing This is basically the slogan of the Obama Stimulus Plan, and this is why no House Republicans voted for this bill. This is basically a choice between the philosophy of Karl Marx, and the philosophy of Adam Smith. Let’s look at some points Karl Marx made, and translate them into points made by Obama. Karl Marx | Read More »

    The USA Has Its Own Fidel – YIPPEE!

    The USA Has Its Own Fidel – YIPPEE! This past Tuesday night Tavis Smiley interviewed Carlos Moore on the Tavis Smiley Show on PBS. A transcript of this interview can be read here. What I find especially disturbing and vile is this comment by Tavis: There are a couple of things you said in this conversation, Dr. Moore, that I found – at least I | Read More »

    Useful Idiots Fifty Years Ago

    We the People have a duty as voters on Tuesday, November 4, 2008. John McCain is well known from his years of service to our country for the last 55 years. Barack Obama is not so well known. There are some things we cannot know about Barack Obama because the State of Hawaii and major US newspapers have sealed the information. Vote for McCain/Palin as | Read More »

    The Players in Paving the Way to the Wall St Meltdown

    During these times of heated political election year politics agreement across the political spectrum has been achieved that the financial institutions on Wall St. are in terrible shape. The agreement that things are a mess very quickly falls apart when it is broken down into who is to blame for this mess, and what can be done to clean the mess up. The disagreement over | Read More »

    What’s the Mood in the Hood?

    Hofmeister has just started a new not-for-profit company, Citizens for Affordable Energy I didn’t write this diary just to promote John Hofmeister. I really think the Republican Party needs to promote the idea of finding more energy from a point of view of not only finding new energy but also increasing the number of high paying union jobs that will be a part of the | Read More »

    Barack Marches Forward in Margaret Sanger’s Footsteps

    Clarence Gamble, heir of Proctor and Gamble, wrote a memorandum in November, 1939 entitled: “Suggestions for the Negro Project.” In the letter he suggested black leaders “be placed in positions where it would appear they were in charge.” This is a letter to Clarence Gamble, from Margaret Sanger, in which she wrote, We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and | Read More »
