We Are Governed By Economic Idiots

The Obama administration continues their efforts to blame the increase in gas prices as being due to “speculators”.  One thing is certain, we cannot count on this crowd to have a clue as to how to lower the price of anything.    The following post is taken from Powerline: Harry Reid uttered one of the more [...]

Women’s History Month- A Celebration

The following is an article by Humberto Fontova from Townhall.com.  If you want to get a different view from the mainstream media account of what goes on in Castro’s Cuba, check out Fontova’s writings. Though he often comes across as bombastic and a tad hyperbolic, Fontova aptly skewers the intellectual elites in their fawnings over [...]

Rand Paul vs. Letterman

How do you debate someone who is so obtuse they don’t even comprehend how badly they are losing?  Sen. Rand Paul was on with David Letterman recently and offered a stellar defense and explanation of some basic conservative ideas.  Of course Paul’s pearls of wisdom were utterly wasted on the impervious Letterman and his devoted [...]

Much Vilified Koch Brother Speaks Out

The following  article written by billionaire entrepreneur Charles G. Koch appeared in yesterday’s Wall Street Journal.   Years of tremendous overspending by federal, state and local governments have brought us face-to-face with an economic crisis. Federal spending will total at least $3.8 trillion this year—double what it was 10 years ago. And unlike in 2001, [...]

20% Unemployment and the Depression You’ve Never Heard Of

President Obama has recently been trying to style himself as Reaganesque in order to fool Americans that he knows how to handle our economic woes.  Here is a lesson Obama would be wise to remember:  Reagan was a great admirer of Calvin Coolidge and he styled his approach to economics after Coolidge’s.  In fact when [...]

Another Sign of a Broken System

Thomas Sowell gives us this account of the recent mayoral election in Washington D.C.  Further evidence that we aregoverned by children for whom reality doesn’t really matter.  Does success matter when it can be so overwhelmed by perception? Apparently not. http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | Few things have captured in microcosm what has gone so painfully wrong, where [...]

Target Apologizes

Target has officially apologized.  They crossed the line, they dared to support a gubernatorial candidate who would be openly pro-business, and for this they must be punished.  After all, they should have realized that the real issue is not jobs, but rather making gays feel good.   After all, the path toward legalizing gay marriage [...]

The Frightening Dr. Berwick

The previous post by Glenn of the Dan Heninger article was a disturbing one.  Dr. Berwick seems to be a totalitarian of the first order, and consequently a man with a visceral dislike of individual liberty.  Notice that in all the quotes given by Dr. Berwick there is nothing about improving survival rates for cancer [...]

Response to Tavis Smiley

I read the transcript of Tavis Smiley’s interview with Ayaan Hirsi Ali the other day. (See previous post below). The ridiculous statements he made regarding the violence perpetrated by Christians every day in this country bears responding to, but I think Ms. Ali was too stunned to do it at the time of the interview. [...]
