I did it again, and I’m kicking myself. I listened to President Obama in a news clip. I’m trying to learn to reflexively mute the radio when I hear his voice, because he tends to make me crazy whenever I hear him speak. I just wasn’t quick enough. Damn. The president is on his “blame [...]

I was reading Mark Steyn and he wrote a line that I’m sure I’ve read before, perhaps in some other form, but it suddenly struck me like a bolt of truth lightning: Funding non-productivity is now the principal purpose of the modern state. Think about that for a moment. Medicaid. Food Stamps. Medicare. 99 weeks [...]
There is a longstanding meme that the Republicans are the party of big business, that we are somehow in the pocket of big business. Wall Street runs our politicians. We do anything to support the rich and powerful. This is hogwash. Wall Street gave more money to Obama than they did to McCain. GE is [...]
Confessions of a Right-Wing Social Engineer, by John Hayward (the artist formerly known as Doctor Zero) at Human Events is a must read. Not only do I love John’s style, but he hits the nail on the head time after time. A sample: We live among the ruins of nearly a century of left-wing social [...]
Related to the post below… President Obama has asked businesses to start hiring. In his mind, hiring is just something you do by whim. You don’t have to ask if hiring the employee pays off at the bottom line, or whether those new employees will tip profit to loss and cause the entire business to [...]
Hopefully you’ve been keeping track of the National Labor Relations Board’s lawsuit against Boeing. To sum up, Boeing decided to build its newest airliner in South Carolina after they weren’t able to make an agreement with the Machinist’s Union in Washington state not to strike. You see, Boeing figures to have high demand for these [...]
In the post below I say, “The man reveals himself in the subtle things he says” (speaking of Obama and how he views the money people earn). James Howe pointed out to me another gem that speaks even more loudly of Obama’s view of government and taxpayers, “The Debt Failsafe Trigger”. John at Power Line [...]
John Hinderacker does a masterful job of commenting on Pres. Obama’s incredibly bad budget speech in his Power Line post: “Obama Channels Ted Kennedy” (the Kennedy reference is a comparison of Obama’s characterization of Ryan’s plan with Kennedy’s demagoguery of Clarence Thomas). There’s one thing John didn’t comment on that got my attention. In talking [...]
Driving home from dropping my son off at school I heard a Democrat politician say that the rich have not been asked to sacrifice in helping curb the deficit. Then I heard another Democrat pundit talking about how Pres. Obama was going to ask for more taxes on the rich (those making over $250K) in [...]
There’s more evidence for bigfoot than for Obamanomics working
How can anyone still believe in Obamanomics? The only answer I can come up with is a complete lack of understanding of economics. The only other thing I could speculate about is an irrational belief in big government as a solution. I say irrational because we have much more evidence for bigfoot and UFOs than [...]
