Direct Experience That Extended Unemployment Benefits Prevent People from Seeking Work

Here is my direct experience that proves that extended unemployment benefits prevent people from seeking work. I have seen reports of studies that show that over 60% of the long-term unemployed find work in the last week before their benefits run out. If we want people to get work, this would be support for the […]

Racist when you oppose me – tolerant when you agree with me

So when 70% of the public approves of a black President, we have a tolerant, open-minded, multi-cultural society. As we had shortly after the 2008 election. But when the approval rating drops to about 40%, we then have a racist, bigoted, hateful society. Isn’t it amazing how drastically the fabric of our culture careens wildly […]

Wealth Creation – Wealth Redistribution

Much of the economic argument between right and left can be summed up concisely: wealth creation verses wealth redistribution. Conservatives view wealth as limited mainly by the human mind. Vast industries have been created by the ingenuity, resourcefulness and creativity of those willing to take a risk to do so. All of civilization’s wealth has […]

Obama, his friends and enemies – he is not my President

Obama has continued on the path of exhibiting his petty, non-Presidential demeanor towards so-called enemies and friends. Obama’s enemies to be punished include loyal Americans who happen to disagree with him, as widely quoted in a speech to Latinos. There is now a well-documented list of Obama’s enemies, whom he has urged must be opposed […]

Political Blog Comments

If you remove all ad hominem attacks from the comments of political blogs, you have very little of substance left. The Huffington Post is the best example. Accusations of “liar” are empty without quoting the lie. “Facts” which are false are only deception. The article and many of the posts on the political blogs seem […]

Here is its platform: Free education Free healthcare Free housing Free food No risk No responsibility Hey, I know a place where […]

Rent Control and Exploitation

Sean Hannity let Juan Williams mostly off the hook on the rent control issue tonight on the Great American Panel. While Sean and his other guests clearly took the conservative position against government price controls, an opportunity to drive the point home was missed by letting the concept of “exploitation” go unchallenged. Mr. Williams based […]

Here is why we don’t hear “Party of No” anymore

Remember the “Party of No?” That is what liberals used to call Republicans. I was thinking why this is no longer used so much as a talking point. Here is my theory: the Democrats have now become the Party of No by their unwillingness to campaign on any of the so-called “accomplishments” of Obama. “Accomplishments” […]

What Constitution?

If the Federal Government prevails on it latest overreach via the Commerce Clause, it will be the effective end of the Constitution. There will be virtually nothing in modern life of importance that the Commerce Clause can not be misinterpreted to cover, thus making our Federal Government all-powerful. We may as well then do away […]

What is Extremism?

According to the dictionary, “extremism” describes actions or ideologies outside the political center of society. Thus, your view of an extremist depends upon your view of where the political center is. “Political center” has nothing to do with theory. The Liberals such as Bill Maher would have you believe they are centrists. But then you […]
