It Can't Be Hottest Ever if it Was Ever Hotter

Posted on March 11, 2010 | Leave a comment

We have to go green!  We have to see $7 gas.  We HAVE to tax the snot out companies that contribute to global warming by pouring CO2 into the air.

Why?  “‘Cause it’s the hottest ever.”

People Say I'm Crazy

Posted on March 11, 2010 | 2 comments

Look, for a long time I was pretty much politically agnostic.  I thought I knew where I stood on some issues; abortion, capital punishment guns.  You know, the biggies.  I really didn’t care about taxation, Liberty and economic freedom.  And then it all changed.

Republicans Can Only Blame Themselves

Posted on March 4, 2010 | Leave a comment

There is a decent chance, better than 50-50 right now, that Obama will pass his health care turkey.  If he does, Republicans are partly to blame.

When the Government Rations

Posted on March 2, 2010 | Leave a comment

Do you wanna know what happens when the government, through fiat, controls a market?  It rations the service or product.  And what the government sees as a cost, the private sector sees as an investment.  And what do you get?

Capitalism: Millions of People Are Being Yanked Out of Abject Poverty Daily

Posted on March 1, 2010 | 3 comments

It’s a pretty familiar refrain “Everything is made in China, that’s why it’s so cheap!”

This is usually followed up with the typical “slave labor” and “sweat shop” and other oft trotted out horror stories.

Do You Ever Wonder?

Posted on February 28, 2010 | 4 comments

Do you ever wonder why the Liberal,  claiming to represent the common man, derides Sarah Palin for being common?

Do you ever wonder why the Liberal, claiming to represent the poorest of us, guarantees that those very people can find no work by raising the minimum wage above what that person can produce?

This health care debate has been raging for quite some time.  Listening to the talk and the pundits and all the rest of ’em, you begin to filter out the chaff from the wheat.  It seems pretty clear that there is a general agreement that we all agree change has to take place; it is costing more than it needs to for medical care.  Equally clear is that there is a fundamental philosophical difference between the Liberals and the Conservatives.

An Amazing Article

Posted on February 17, 2010 | 2 comments

You know that feeling?  The one where you are getting your head slammed into a wall and then it suddenly stops?  Oh how it feels so good.  Which, if you are like me and believe that all people are good and will eventually see the light, only makes the shattering of hope all the more painful when the beating continues.
