…olitician — not Obama, not any of them — can destroy the remnants of a semi-free economy in what was once a robust democratic republic. In a faltering democratic republic (now becoming a socialist democracy, like the Western European states), the people can only do this to themselves. What’s so disturbing about recent trends, culminating (not beginning) with the reelection of Obama is: The people are willingly doing it. This is the first election,… Continue reading →
…e for voluntarily agreed upon prices.” [Peter Fithian] Spot on. Capitalism simply refers to economic freedom from government interference. It’s not a system, and it’s not obliged to be a system. The obligation is on government, busybodies and criminals to STAY THE HELL OUT OF OTHER PEOPLE’S LIVES. ***************** Unless your explicit goal is to destroy America, nobody can deny: The Biden Regime is a catastrophe. If the American republic somehow… Continue reading →

…ch its “researchers” to newsrooms across America to seek their “voluntary” compliance about how news stories are decided, as well as “wade into office politics” looking for angry reporters whose story ideas were rejected as evidence of a shutout of minority views. Why do we even have a Federal Communications Commission in the first place? Supposedly (some claim), it was created to protect the property rights of radio broadcast (and later televisio… Continue reading →
…ingly, supporters of D’Souza don’t appear to be crying censorship. They’re simply expressing their anger, as customers, that the head of a huge commercial chain would make such an overtly political decision — and then expect nobody to notice. It’s insulting to their customers, or at least the half of them who don’t agree with Jim Sinegal on his political views. Incredibly, the official Costco line has been that they don’t wish to sell any books no… Continue reading →
…ld by the likes of Jefferson, Washington and Lincoln actually becomes. Put simply, the presidency will not matter as the United States comes to matter less and less as the inspiration for liberty and prosperity it once was. These Gallup polls suggest that for many black people, there was an invalid sense of “hope and change” when Obama got elected in 2008. Hence the initial emotional “stimulus.” However, as time went by it became clear that nothin… Continue reading →
…oups with the same form of review, Kadzik said. [reported by Newsmax.com 10-23-15] Let’s get this straight. The Justice Department, charged with investigating the matter, acknowledges that IRS employees deliberately used politically charged keywords to select groups for review; but that this does not constitute evidence of bias. How is this not bias? If the IRS was found to deliberately seek out groups favoring civil rights for blacks, marriage fo… Continue reading →
…couple of examples. In Chicago, where gun laws are very strict, people are simply ignoring them. That probably keeps crime from going even higher, although it turns more and more peaceful citizens into criminals. Undoubtedly, there are people foolish or self-negligent enough to own a gun without responsible care and attention. But why should the rights of those who are self-responsible, and who merely wish to survive, be curtailed for the sins of… Continue reading →
…on, it’s not merely a matter of “tolerating” gay and lesbian couples; it’s simply a fact of reality. Why are these creepy candidates running as Republicans so obsessed with sex in the first place, especially given their support of smaller, less intrusive government? Charlie Cook is right on this point. A consistent party of limited government could be very successful with young people. There’s no reason why it should not capture the votes of at le… Continue reading →
…s an embarrassing travesty that they must answer to this man as a commander-in-chief. I suspect a lot of them feel this way, although they can’t say it aloud. In a way, the real enemy is ourselves (most of us, anyway). Smart and self-confident people would not have leaders like this in the first place. Rational people can make the distinction between acts of aggression and acts of self-defense. I’m sick of it being considered war-mongering to simp… Continue reading →
