In my role as a lay-consultant to the Romney campaign (unbeknownst to the Romney campaign), I suggest this response to President Obama’s laughable assertion that Mitt Romney would not have authorized the Seal Team to take out Bin Laden. The president has speculated that a President Romney would not have authorized the strike on Osama [...]

A Poor Man Never Gave Me a Job This is a truism. It’s important that people begin to understand the implications of this statement. The rich, wealthy individuals, or successful companies, drive the economy. Harming them in the name of “fairness” is a recipe for a declining economy, less opportunity, and ultimately poverty for a [...]
Many people I know and love are Democrats. I like them as people. I don’t have any hostility toward them, but would enjoy being able to change their minds. That’s often difficult, because around politics they do get hostile. The thing is, they get hostile and use arguments that are nonsense. One such nonsensical argument [...]
One question: When did determining whether or not a law is Constitutional according to the letter of the Constitution become something an “activist” court does? Isn’t that what a court, especially the Supreme Court, should do? President Obama’s made an incredibly stupid comment regarding what the role of the Supreme Court actually is. That’s been [...]
The president is at it again. Misrepresentation and economic ignorance… Taking advantage of the ignorance of his diehard followers. His subject is now demonizing oil companies by decrying the “subsidies” they are given. This is a complete misrepresentation deliberately done to anger people. “Subsidies” are generally (and rightly) thought of as checks written to various [...]
I just finished reading The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins and am now halfway through the sequel. Something about it alarms me. I’ll explain in a moment. For those who haven’t read it, The Hunger Games take place in a post-America, America called Panem. The country consists of a Capitol and 12 Districts. There was [...]
Lately I hear many conservatives who are not satisfied with the Republican candidates for President. To me, priority number one has got to be getting rid of Obama. We’re not going to be completely satisfied with the Republican candidate. It strikes me as oddly immature in conservatives–people who tend to be very mature, willing to [...]
What does it say when your best offensive weapon is to depend on people’s ignorance, to mislead, misrepresent, obfuscate, and to engage in magical thinking (one of the hallmarks of an immature human being)? It says you are the President of the United States, or at least that you’re a Democrat. What is the first [...]
Great piece by John Stossel today at Town Hall: What is Fair? The progressive answer is, “Whatever we tell you is fair, and you will obey.” Here’re the first few paragraphs of Stossel’s article: President Obama says he want to make society more fair. Advocates of big government believe fairness means taking from rich people [...]
The Contribution Businesses Make
One of the things that changed my life, and my view of capitalism, was something my father did when I worked for his company. At that time I was still under the sway of my college training and relentless demonization of “corporations” in the media and by Democrats in particular. It seemed the bad guys [...]
