It is now known everywhere what great hopes we had for Obama’s “hope and change”, and how disappointing the reality turned out. It is so well-documented “everywhere” how Obama (and his followers) will say virtually anything, and then do the opposite. I don’t even need to list them all, nor reference the proof. (Actually, I […]

In a strange turn, it seems the Left now is advocating racial profiling. In the two cases of Meg Whitman and Lou Dobbs, some on the left are accusing them of wrongdoing in hiring illegal aliens. How should Meg Whitman have known her housekeeper was illegal? Whitman followed all the laws. But “she should have […]

It may have been necessary for Christine O’Donnell to deal with the “witch” deal, and show that Christine is “normal.” Her first ad does that. But once that ad has been widely seen (I am assuming it now has), she needs to stop reminding people about those aspects, and create a very hard hitting, very […]

Meg Whitman’s troubles with an illegal alien are simply “appearances.” She has done nothing wrong. Yet the opposition will continue to pound her for the appearances. Being “anti-criminal” when it is applied to illegal aliens earns you the accusations and hatred of the progressives. Yet is it wrong to be anti-criminal? Again, appearances over substance. […]

A brilliant explanation of our tax system using actual percentages, the impact of a tax cut, and the public reaction that everyone should be able to understand. Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay […]

Public sector employee unions do not have a legitimate reason to exist. Before asking why we have public sector unions (those who represent government workers), let’s first ask “why do we have any unions?” The short answer is that the unions are needed as a check and balance against employers who might otherwise have too […]

The Keynesian  argument that the government sometimes need to prime the pump has been widely discredited. However, liberals and progressives cling to their faith that the government must spend to stimulate the economy. I say “faith” because it is a concept that is accepted without proof. In fact, accepted in spite of all the evidence […]

In all the current polls there is typically some amount of the population, typically around 40% who support left-leaning or outright socialist positions. I have often wondered why there are even that many. The answer is not too difficult to understand. When you see that approximately the same percentage, around 45% of our population don’t […]

There is a problem with the definition of “poor” which is being used to fan the flames of class warfare. The definition or the poverty line by the Department of Health and Human Services is $22,000 for an urban family of four. This definition overlooks a major reality: that income does not define how well-off […]

For a long time it bothered me when the Dems would say “Republicans have no ideas.” The reason was because it was abundantly clear that the Republicans in fact have an abundance of ideas. But they were excluded from the conversation. But I still could not fathom why the Dems said they had “no ideas.” […]
