And the hits just keep comin’. 
When Congress passed the Consumer Bill of Right’s Measure everyone thought it was just the greatest idea EVER.
I didn’t so. When given the choice of who should protect my money; me or the government, I chose me. Every time. Me.
Well, guess what happens when the government takes care of me? They don’t.

Just another in a long line of laws that are making things more expensive than they need to be.
Just as America is trying to turn the corner and get back on our feet, the Feds have issued another decree that’s gonna make it harder to make it.

Leftists. Gotta love ’em.
Take the question of having to identify yourself to the government.
On one hand they say it’s a matter of individual privacy. On the other, they say it’s their right.
There are a number of things wrong with Unions. 
They reduce jobs. They price out the under skilled of a job. They make products more expensive. They force restrictive trade agreements. Really, there’s no end to the nastiness they elicit.
But the story of the retired Marine being forced to join a Union is a perfect example to illustrate just how ugly I think they are.

Absolutely fascinating. 
Though not surprising.
A study was done by Zogby. In it, 4,835 people were asked 8 questions on economics.
The results are in. And they don’t look pretty if you are a Leftist.

I suspect we’re all guilty of it. It being the practice of seeing things ONLY from where we sit. Of seeing things in ways that are colored by the ways we have always seen things.
I’m guilty of it all the time.
I look at people, react to people and come to conclusions based on my past experiences. This is my perspective.
Lot’s of times it works like it should; dark alleys get avoided.
Some times it doesn’t work like it should.

Imagine a combination of Green Peace and Ayn Rand.
A sort of free market approach to protest the free market.
Got it? Great. Cause it makes MY head hurt.
But it would seem that’s exactly what’s going on in a restaurant in Sydney.
I am going to have to start a new category: Republicans Can Be Leftists Too!
See, it’s not so much the fact that I mind that the “other” team wins, it’s that they win using techniques I object too. And when the Republicans do it, well, I can’t just let’em off the hook.
So, we have this new forum where I wanna point out Republicans restricting Liberty. Where we show people in politics will do whatever it takes to remain in power; not govern. And that the fight we are fighting is not just the Right vs.s the Left, but rather us vs. tactics employed by the Leftists.
At some point, the results have to implicate the system. At some point, we have to push back from the table and see what it is that we have caused to occur.
Has the rhetoric of our elections brought about that things that we have promised? 
Or have we caused the exact opposite to occur? In our quest to provide food for the masses, have we, in fact, brought about the opposite? In an effort to set to work the poor, have we taken from them the opportunities that bring about job creation? In short, is what we are doing working?
Or, perhaps, as citizens, we have to step back and begin to wonder if it’s really the aim of the government to provide in the first place?
