Democracy Can’t Work in an Irrational Society
“Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything.” This quote is attributed to Josef Stalin. And that’s certainly how it’s starting to look in Florida and elsewhere in America. Democracy depends on many things. … Continue reading
Why Leftists, Socialists and Democrats are a Mob Movement
“Mob chants threats outside Tucker Carlson’s D.C. home” is the latest headline. You notice how it’s never a mob outside of Jim Acosta’s home? Or Barack Obama’s home in D.C.? Or Joe Biden’s in Delaware? It’s always a leftist mob, … Continue reading
What’s Wrong With Divisiveness?
“Poll Shows Voters Believe Media Have Divided Country More than Trump” reads a headline. Why is division such a bad thing? Consider the divisions in the United States today. One side is totally and openly socialist. They call themselves socialist … Continue reading
The Purpose of Politics: No More Politics!

Wait a minute. I thought high taxes, wealth redistribution, nationalized health care and open borders for Muslims were all supposed to be GOOD for gays and lesbians. Then how do you explain this? Despite the recent decision giving gay couples … Continue reading
“I’m President and You’re Not”
President Donald Trump sat down for an interview with Lesley Stahl for CBS’s “60 Minutes” that aired Sunday. The interview got heated when Stahl pressed the president about immigration and children being separated from their parents at the border. Trump … Continue reading
The Case Against Capitalism Isn’t a Case at All
You hear these kinds of things all the time: “20 percent of the population holds 80 percent of the wealth.” Or: “The richest 1 percent now owns more of the nation’s wealth than at any time ever.” The assumption here … Continue reading
