So, alright. I’m guilty.
I listen to the Right. Except for my morning commute, where I listen to Brad and Britt, I get my radio and TV from the Right. My news, I get from more main stream sources; Economist, Reuters, CNBC, Wall Street Journal and NY Times.
But when I watch or listen, it’s from the Right.
So I started watching Maddow.

Free. Freedom. Liberty.
Ever stop to consider what those words mean?
And what “life” would mean without them?

Recent analysis of changes to Hong Kong are getting press in the Economist. A new law is going to be passed setting a wage floor in Hong Kong. For years, the city has managed to grow, thrive even, without the common law known as Minimum Wage.
The legislation is set to impose a minimum wage between $3.00 and $4.00 American. Not much by our standards, but then again, perhaps our standards are a bit exaggerated.

Even if you’re against gay marriage, the time has come to move on.
No one wants to run on this, and they shouldn’t. It’s a loser.
So this just makes us look dumb:
RALEIGH, N.C. — A national group touring the country to show support for traditional marriage is holding a rally in North Carolina.
…
The event is one of more than 20 stops on the organization’s summer bus tour.
But there is hope:
North Carolina is the only Southeastern state that hasn’t approved a state constitutional amendment restricting marriage to between one man and one woman.
Carolina may be resisting the dark side.
I think we’re seeing a sweeping change in how we view our gay and lesbian neighbors and friends. Finally.
We’re seeing more and more calls for acceptance. We’re seeing main stream acceptance in the work place and in the government.
And finally, we’re seeing laws changed to recognize the civil rights of all people.
And even the churches are coming around.
Everywhere Liberty is forced into hiding.
From the Left and, in California, from the Right.
Today, she has loosened the bonds restricting her a little more.
Some time ago {okay OKAY! It was this morning!} I was arguing with Liberals. 
We were talking about what a government can do, should do and then, what they WILL do. In our examples, we specifically were speaking about the “common good” as it relates to non-National Defense.*
For example, can/should/will the government regulate medical doctors? How about florists?
Another example, can/should/will the government regulate the workplace safety?
And even another. Can/should/will the government regulate food quality in our grocery stores? How about stereo component quality?
As you can imagine, a very clear divergence of opinions evolved.

Often I get the feeling that something just ain’t right.
You Know What This IS
You see it, hear it and then someone even tells ya about it. And you’re just like….”um, yeah….nah. That, right there, is horseshit.”
And ya call ’em on it.
And ya got nothin’ right? ‘Cause really, the only thing ya got is your gut.
Well, now, we got somethin’ for ya….

Continuing on the theme that Republicans Can Be Leftists Too is the latest installment. And the guilty party? None other than the Left’s favorite bloviator Sean Hannity.
I have been late in posting on this topic, and really, I should have been on top of it from the time it hit.
The subject?
The proposed mosque in New York City near the site of ground zero.
Republicans? Against it.
Me? Bad form. But if they wanna build it, they should be allowed.

Slave wages in putrid working conditions. That’s China. Right?
If you think so, your opinion is shared by many American’s. And it’s wrong.
