Perry’s “Heighth of Hypocrisy”

Texas Governor Rick Perry recently attacked Herman Cain’s comments on abortion. Cain has shown that he has does have difficulties with articulating his view at times. There is a positive reason for this – he is not a typical politician that has a canned answer to any question based on focus groups and polling; however, it does create fodder for political rivals who generally believe in little more than winn Read More [...]

The Left’s Insignificance

Individualists often struggle to understand what drives someone on the left to cede personal power over his own life to the state. The counter-intuitive answer is that he feels impotent to change his own life and insignificant in the big scheme of things. He believe that by becoming something larger than himself, he becomes more significant and an agent of momentous change. The man of the left is a creature of hi Read More [...]

Time to Go

With a dozen more debates looming on the horizon it is time to narrow the field of potentials in the GOP primary. I will not lie. There are eight candidates that I would like to see drop out tomorrow, but I think a more realistic number is three: Michelle Bachmann. I started out as a fan of Congresswoman Bachmann. She has been an outspoken critic of Obamacare, Dodd-Frank, and other left-wing boondoggles. Read More [...]

Cain’s Big Break

Herman Cain’s 9-9-9 plan has come under attack from various directions. Many, including myself, appreciate the boldness of the plan and basic premise that good will come from discarding the current, complicated, and bought and paid for tax code. A simple plan will save money for individuals and companies since resources will not be wasted in complying with the plan and it will save money for the government be Read More [...]

Don’t Panic: Big Majority Blame Kleptocrats, Not Fat Cats for Bad Economy

A new poll shows big trouble for Democrats who are banking on radical sleight-of-hand to misdirect popular anger away from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue onto Wall Street in the upcoming elections. By a comfortable majority of 56% to 33%, more Americans see Washington as the root of all economic evil and not capitalism itself (as perversely defined as it is, nowadays). This proves a powerful lesson to conservatives not t Read More [...]

What Happened to Green Jobs?

The answer is quite simple: Green jobs do not make economic sense. Why pay 3-4 times more for energy by using so called green energy than you can by good, old-fashioned and reliably cheap fossil fuels? Over the past decade you hear every Liberal / Democratic politician in the United States talking about green jobs. Well let’s look at what happens when the government tries to manipulate the market and force compan Read More [...]

Rick Santorum’s Fatal Economic Flaw

Rick Santorum’s economic plan seems to be centered on getting manufacturing jobs back from overseas by making us more competitive. This is a fatal flaw in his economic plan and the primary reason why I do not support him. It shows one of two things, either Mr. Santorum does not understand the realities of economics or he will be willing to further manipulate the markets to bring those jobs back. Manipulating Read More [...]

I Am the 99.99983 Percent!

The Occupy Wall Street crowd likes to claim that they are “the 99%,” making reference to those pesky millionaires and billionaires that have what they want. Well, I am not in the top 1% of earners in this country, I am in the other 99%, but I do not feel that they truly represent my views at all. In fact, from most of what I have seen they do not even come close. So I am going to start my own group and I Read More [...]

Magical Thinking About Government

A deeply entrenched mindset among many Americans is that the government is some magical entity that can dispense aid without doing any harm. But this is a myth. Before the government can help, it must first do harm. The government is coercion. It gets its resources by taking them away from producers. It can only expropriate, by figuratively sticking a gun to people’s heads, and by threatening them with the Read More [...]

Democrats Reveal Their True Colors

Anyone who follows politics realizes that the Democratic Party has been suborned by the socialists on their extreme left. Little by little they have been showing their true colors: the deep disdain they have for America and their desire to radically alter the shape of this country. I continue to believe that a relatively small number of people truly hold those feelings but they are building a vast force of peop Read More [...]
