In case you ever had any doubt, this played on the opening day of the Democrat National Convention: If you have any clue what’s going on at all, this should scare you. The government is the ony thing we all belong to? Public OpinionPoll Results

Al Franken wants to decide what health benefits you can have

March 7th, 2012 | No Comments

Al Franken has a problem: DEAR REPUBLICANS: My boss is not my doctor. My health care choices are none of my boss’s business — and none of yours, either. Seriously — what’s wrong with you guys? Signed, Al Franken & YOUR NAME + OTHERS HERE He thinks allowing individual employers to decide how to best [...]

China and the US economic ties

May 10th, 2010 | No Comments

Every now and then I read something that just makes all kinds of sense on Seeking Alpha.  They seem to have a way of getting people to simplify economics in such a way the average guy ( me ) can undertand it.  Today it was Cliff Droke discussing China.  Never heard of Cliff before, but [...]

Bertha Lewis loves socialists

April 23rd, 2010 | No Comments

Bertha Lewis, CEO of Acorn, is proud to be a socialist. She applauds anyone who calls themself a socialist.  But, that’s not the best part: “Any group that says, ‘I’m young, I’m Democratic, and I’m a socialist,’ is all right with me. You know that’s no light thing to do — to actually say, I’m [...]

Pay Czar’s slippery slope

October 23rd, 2009 | No Comments

I complained about Kenneth Feinberg going where no federal government should ever go.  Without any constitutional authority whatsoever, he decided TARP recipients’ salaries.  That’s just communism.  When Karl Marx wrote the Communist Manifesto, one of the key elements was controlled income.  I’m sure Anita Dunn is thrilled.  Now, in my previous post I pointed out [...]

Government controlled income

October 22nd, 2009 | 1 Comment

Kenneth Feinberg is Obama’s “pay czar”.  Bank of America, American International Group, Citigroup, General Motors, GMAC, Chrysler and Chrysler Financial all received part of the last TARP bailout.  As such, Kenneth Feinberg has decided that he sets the salaries of whoever he wants at those companies. Guess what other “companies” have the federal government as [...]

Celebrating Communism in New York

September 30th, 2009 | 1 Comment

The managers of the Empire State Building have decided to honor the Communist takeover of China by lighting the building in red and yellow.  I just find it highly ironic, a bit stupid, and a whole lot of insensitivity, that the managers feel an urge to celebrate an oppressive government that led to mass killings [...]

Czar Van Jones

Barack Obama has found a loophole he loves.  By appointing “special advisors”, otherwise known as “czars”, he completely bypasses Nancy Pelosi and the rest of Congress.  He doesn’t have to worry about those annoying confirmation hearings by doing that.  I’m sure he feels that by eliminating public hearings, he’s doing us all a favor.  I’m [...]

Keith Ellison’s Utopia

July 17th, 2008 | 1 Comment

Representative Keith Ellison submitted this letter to The Hill blogs: We have to consider the 30 years of stagnant wages that your average Americans have had to face. That fact is that the reason we have people refinancing their homes, getting home equity loans, getting high rate interest credit cards and petty loans is because [...]

ACLU endorses the Patriot Act?

October 30th, 2006 | No Comments

Well, not exactly.  But they did drop a lawsuit against it citing "improvements to the law".  Here’s the ONLY part that was changed that appease the ACLU: The lawsuit, filed in July 2003 on behalf of the Muslim Community Association of Ann Arbor, Mich., and five other nonprofit groups, was the first legal challenge to [...]
