Progressive version of the Tea Party?
The liberal media says the law-breaking anarchists who are terrorizing New York are simply a “progressive” version of the Tea Party. Kind of like calling Gaddafi a Libyan version of Gandhi, Iran an Islamic version of America, North Korea a communist version of South Korea, California a progressive version of Texas, etc. This kind of thinking […]
“Occupy” verses Tea Party – what a difference!
Now everyone can see the difference between the liberal grass roots and the conservative grass roots. Just look at the video footage of the “Occupiers” verses the “Tea Party.” Occupiers make a huge mess mob rule and thuggery marching on private homes public sex and intoxication Tea Party leave the site cleaner than when they […]
Can the bureaucrats be unseated?
Today my cousin asked me ” Is the any likelihood that the lobbyists would OK the elimination of their jobs; tax attorneys, CPAs, etc? ” He was responding to my explanation of the 999 platform of Herman Cain. I responded to his question as follows: Ultimately the people can overthrow any oppressors (e.g. lobbyists, tax attorneys, […]
Union violence permitted by law – repeal that!
In United States v. Enmons, 410 U.S. 396 (1973), the Supreme Court held that violence, if carried out in furtherance of a labor union’s objectives, does not violate the law according to the extortion and robbery provisions of the federal anti-Racketeering Act of 1934. The court’s ruling set a legal precedent where violent acts against […]
Exploitation of private day care providers by “evil parents?”
In Minnesota there is a movement to unionize private day care providers. What nonsense! Governor Dayton was threatening to impose such unionization by executive order, but has since backed off with that. See Governor Dayton’s remarks. It is the case that “evil parents are exploiting the private day care providers?” The whole enterprise of private […]
Trickle down economics does work!
A mantra of the liberal is “trickle down does not work”, “trickle down does not”, “trickle down does not work” – as if constant repetition makes it true. Trickle down does work. Look at the poor in the US: they have cars, sometime two they have air conditioning they have microwaves they have TVs, cell […]
Why have unions become the problem?
Is uncontrolled monopoly a good thing? Should we allow the big airlines, phone companies, and cable companies to merge? I think it is obvious that monopolies prove that “power corrupts” and that nobody thinks we should encourage unregulated monopolies. Unions are no different. They are unregulated monopolies, and power has led to their corruption. Next […]
Why I oppose the ground-zero mosque.
The ground-zero mosque is not an implement of religion; it is an implement of cultural warfare. If you are in favor of the ground-zero mosque, let me ask you some questions: Are you a criminal? If no, do you believe that there are criminals in the world? These first two questions simply create a “straw […]
How big should the government be?
Why is there no explicit policy debate on exactly how large government should be? It is one thing to say “I am for smaller government” — but how small? 20% of the economy? 30%? 40%? Having the a a person’s view helps one understand his or her position, and where they are coming from. I […]
Why bother with Congress? King Barack has made it null and void
Why bother with Congress? King Barack has made it null and void. Recent executive orders have shown we no longer need Congress. The legislative branch is now only a song and dance. Why should we continue the charade? We don’t need it anymore. Whatever the King (… oops, President) wants can simply be enacted by […]
