“My wife and I were brought up to believe that the more you give, the more you have,” says Cathy. “Few people actually believe in this, but we do.” (HT: Philanthropyroundtable) Those crazy wingnuts think they built something at Chick-fil-A, Inc. They think they are being charitable when they give away money that belongs to Elizabeth Warren and Barack Obama. They think they are being | Read More »
According to President Obama, we have tried his plan in America and it has worked! Don’t say that to employees in either the defense or the coal industry. President Obama’s plans are about to go to work on both on these industries and that apparently implies that a whole lot of jobs won’t be getting created or saved. Changing scale in capital intensive industries requires | Read More »
David Frum has descended further into deluded, smug surrealism. That occurs in anyone who thinks like Leftist, acts like a Leftist, feels like a Leftist but insists athwart reason and logic that she or he is quite the Conservative. Such is the case with Mr. Frum’s attempt to “Conservatively” agree with US Attorney General Eric Holder that America truly is a nation of cowards.
I’ve never quite reached the level of alienation in my contrarian ideology where I turn into an individual like Heath Ledger’s Joker character. I’m not quite able to just want it all to burn. Thus it makes me stop and take a breath when someone I like and respect blogs that “I didn’t become a conservative to defend our glorious social order. In fact, I | Read More »
Good morning. Excellent news abounds. The United States has significantly lowered its airborne emissions of CO2. This is truly positive news, given that the US EPA and many members of Congress view this pollutant with such concern that they would willingly consign the economy to a system of CO2 permits that would limit what can be produced, consumed and enjoyed by every American. The news | Read More »
In case you wondered what Barack Obama truly stands for you can watch that video I posted above and you won’t have to scratch your noggin any further. If you still have any doubts, we have the spectacle of Obama’s bureaucracy slipping a get out of effort free clause into the 1990’s Welfare Reform Act. ABC News describes the latest effort by our President to | Read More »
It seems that Keynesian Economists are similar to Bill Murray’s failed character in the movie Groundhog Day. They simply relive their errors until they work off their bad karma and correct their errant assumptions. Yet Dr. Paul Krugman, dominus et deus of the American Neo-Keynesians, seems stuck in an infinite karmic loop. He’s waking up on Groundhog Day forever, and sees the shadow of smaller | Read More »
Who can forget the joyous Hosannas, the ringing accolades, the self-congratulatory puffery that emanated out of the DC chattering classes as Middle Eastern tyrants such as Hosni Mubarak and Kaddafi were overthrown in spring of 2011. It was called the Arab Spring, and was set before the American People as proof that President Barack Obama was a foreign policy visionary who would lead the world | Read More »
“He’s basically been biting the hand that fed him in ’08. … I would bet 25% of the people here were supporters of Obama in ’08. And they’re here now.“ -2008 Obama Backer, Michael Zambrelli(HT: Gateway Pundit) A little while back I put up a post that rattled some cages. I opined that if the election were held 27 June 2012, that Barack Obama would | Read More »
NANCY PELOSI: I think we all also agree, I think we all very, very much agree that we are very sad and seek justice for the family of border patrol agent Brian Tay, Tay, Terry. His loss is a tragedy for all who knew him, for all of us who care about him, and we offer our condolences to his family. So sad. (HT: Newsbusters.org) | Read More »
Is the United States of America too gob-smacking ignorant as a nation and a people to deserve the benefits of a continued constitutional republic? Are we a people worthy of self-rule, or should we just get Benito in here to make the gosh-darn trains run on time? I’m afraid Representative Conyers’ continued tenure in the House of Representatives sheds far more light on the uglier | Read More »
To read Jay Cost lay into the individual mandate provision of Obamacare with a truncheon is to see the wrath of a forgotten, dissed and dismissed America in print. He inveighs in a Weekly Standard Piece entitled The Mandate Represents What’s Wrong With Democrats. There will be a mandatory 1/10 of a point deduction for leaving off the html rant tags, but he sure did | Read More »
If the Presidential Election were to take place tomorrow, Barack Obama would win a 2nd term by a razor-thin margin. He has basically led Mitt Romney from wire-to-wire thus far, but has failed to put him away. However, a confluence of recent trends in fundraising, burn rate and overall enthusiasm suggests that Barack Obama will have to significantly change his current trajectory if he wants | Read More »
I congratulate our current Attorney General. He has most certainly succeeded in putting the contempt in the Contempt of Congress Citation. Holder has been in Antipathy of much of Congress since the day he called America a Nation of Cowards. He then proved his mettle and bravery by presiding over the unmitigated fiasco of an anti-gun sting effort known as Operation Fast and Furious. He | Read More »
Drama ensued last Tuesday when Dr. Molly Sherlock enjoyed the career-enhancing experience of getting to testify before the House of Representatives on the 1603 grant program administered by the Department of Energy. This program was set up to fund the creation of so-called Green Jobs. Unfortunately for Dr. Sherlock, Congressman Cory Gardner (R, Colo) was the one wearing the green eyeshades. The relevant questioning follows | Read More »
Official results released by the interior ministry, with 97 percent of ballots counted, showed New Democracy taking 29.7 percent of the vote, with SYRIZA on 26.9. The PASOK Socialists were set to take 12.3 percent of the vote. Because of a 50-seat bonus given to the party which comes first, that would give New Democracy and PASOK 162 seats in the 300-seat parliament, in an | Read More »
Update: Sen Inhofe seems ready to provide some cost scrutiny. Help the man out, write your Senators today and tell them to support the Inhofe Resolution! There are some parts of government that face consequences when they overrun their costs by a significant value. The people get dragged up to DC, they must justify their existence and if they fail…The career dissipation light flickers. The | Read More »
I don’t imagine Treasury Secretary, Timothy Geithner ever expected to end up as the philosophical poster-child of The New American Left. The Left is famous for raising taxes. Geithner may or may not even bother to pay his in any given year. Yet it happened during a light moment he experienced while testifying up on Capitol Hill. His statement to Congressman Ryan could accurately describe | Read More »
I make few denials about being partisan. I enjoy it at times like last night. In fact, I haven’t enjoyed watching a bunch of people from Wisconsin administer a condign beatdown on a deserving opponent this much since Brett Favre was playing in The Super Bowl. All gloating aside, a lot went into last night that goes far beyond just Wisconsin State-Level politics and provides | Read More »
But as the happy feelings faded away, people began to see the grim reality: all leftist systems operate by sacrificing everything else at the altar of equality, which can only be achieved by hobbling the above-equal with regulations while simultaneously empowering the below-equal with welfare, subsidies, quotas and other “well-intentioned” social justice programs. LBJ’s “great society” ideas were re-created time and again in American and | Read More »
