Questioning Obama’s Integrity

Published on 2010-08-19 15:19:01

A TIME magazine poll released today details a few interesting facts about Obama and how the country views him. A large portion of this country sees Obama as a Muslim. Why is this? Surely the mainstream media would understand—but they don’t. Delving into this a little more you begin to find a few reasons that [...]

John Bolton: The Ultimate Broken Record

Published on 2010-08-17 10:29:35

Out: Telling Israel how many months or years they have to bomb Iran. In: Telling Israel how many days they have to bomb Iran. Yes, the window is still closing on Israel’s chance of survival, and it’s now down to only eight days! (Update: He has since revised it to three days!) I don’t think [...]

The Tyranny of Negative Emotion

Published on 2010-08-16 08:46:26

Lately in the news we have been seeing a lot of what I call the “tyranny of negative emotion”. Common sense issues become controversies because someone, or a group of people, are negatively effected emotionally by it. The biggest story of this type is the mosque that they are planning to build in Manhattan. A [...]

The Coming Clash: Ruling Class vs Country Class

Published on 2010-08-12 10:25:37

Class conflict. The very term takes the mind to thoughts of Marxism, class consciousness, and revolution. But there are other ways to view class conflicts besides that one paradigm. In the 21st century America will face a crisis. The desires of the ruling class will clash with the desires of the country class — the [...]

The Tipping Point

Published on 2010-08-10 01:18:16

In American politics, change comes slowly. Usually, policies take years, perhaps decades, to come to fruition. The Obama administration is fully implementing FDR’s vision for a socialized America, though it’s taken several presidents and seventy years to complete.  This time, though, the government might be going too far. The political establishment–the ruling class–is driving the [...]

They Aren’t Deaf

A lot has been made of Michelle Obama’s trip to Spain, racking up hundreds of thousands in expenses. Meanwhile President Obama is trying to get the little people to “sacrifice” even more. All over the media people keep saying all these different things about the current political environment: they’re deaf, they’re ignorant, they don’t listen, [...]

Howard Dean says supply side economics are “hooey”

Published on 2010-08-08 19:51:11

Perhaps I should be used to it by now, but once again some leftist has baldly asserted that supply side economics are nonsense. This morning it was Howard Dean on MSNBC.  He said supply side economics are “hooey”. But he wasn’t finished yet (this man is an accomplished demagogue). He said Ronald Reagan proved they [...]

Raise the Voting Age to 30

Published on 2010-08-06 09:44:15

The Democratic push for votes continues to amaze. Most people are aware that liberals have utilized dead people, convicts, and multiple votes for a single person. They also have a few plots working with an eye to the future — statehood for Puerto Rico, and allowing millions of unaccounted lawbreakers (or “undocumented Democrats” as some [...]

Reality Sets In

New York state just passed its budget, four months late. It’s a state with one of the highest debt loads and deficits in the nation, rivaling and perhaps exceeding California in some respects. Here is a micro example of how benefits have been shaved off over time, permitting some sweet deals for those in previous [...]
