Brian Garst LeBron’s Migration Mirrors that of the Broader Public
  (Read WP posts from Brian Garst) | (Read MT posts from Brian Garst)

Basketball is not my sport of choice, so I had no vested interest in the outcome of the recent drama surrounding LeBron James.  Even though I still consider Florida my home state, I don’t care that he’s chosen to play in Miami.  I am, however, struck by the degree to which LeBron’s decision mirrors that...

Brian Garst Sen. Bennett is Behaving Like a Clueless, Bitter Old Fool
  (Read WP posts from Brian Garst) | (Read MT posts from Brian Garst)

When Republican Utah voters decided they wanted a more consistently conservative representative than a 3-term senator who promised to only serve two, defeated incumbent Bob Bennett had a choice to make.  He could exit gracefully and be proud of his service, and a career marked without scandal (an admittedly low bar, but an impressive feat...

Brian Garst Faith in Government Regulators is Misplaced
  (Read WP posts from Brian Garst) | (Read MT posts from Brian Garst)

Shakespeare would likely describe the latest major legislation winding its way through Congress as a piece of legislation crafted by idiots, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.  Rather than address the systemic distortions created by prior government policies, and which caused the financial meltdown, policy makers are now “[putting] a lot of faith in...

Vitriolic left-wing Senator Al Franken has bought into the conservative courts myth.  This myth is popular only so far as the courts have not yet completely embraced left-wing “progressive” interpretations of the Constitution that in reality render its existance entirely meaningless.  Rather, such views only dominate academia, the political class and almost all levels of...

Susan Estrich thinks the crop of Republican women winning primaries is problematic because they don’t have enough political experience: Some years ago, the late New York Times and Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist William Safire wrote a great column comparing politicians to plumbers. It was during one of those periods when (like now) experience had become a dirty...

Decades of reflexive animosity toward anything that might even be remotely labeled as discrimination has rendered the modern left braindead.  They no longer have the ability to think critically or debate honestly on policy solutions to social problems involving discrimination.  Instead, they simply reflexively label anyone who disagrees with their policy as racist/bigoted/homophobe. Rand Paul is...

Much of the animosity we’ve witnessed directed at the Tea Party over the last year has come from political and cultural elites who find regular people disturbing, if not downright disgusting.  The peasants, according to elites, are prone to temper tantrums and just don’t get how things work in the sophisticated political world. That same...

Brian Garst Mayors Daley And Nutter Cross A Line
  (Read WP posts from Brian Garst) | (Read MT posts from Brian Garst)

Despite having some of the most restrictive gun laws in the country, violence in Chicago has gotten so bad that some local politicians are calling for deployment of the National Guard.  It’s bad enough when gun control advocates can’t recognize the failure of their own policies, but now Mayor Daley has taken the anti-Second Amendment...

Brian Garst New York Times Runs Racist Op-Ed Against Tea Party
  (Read WP posts from Brian Garst) | (Read MT posts from Brian Garst)

Charles M. Blow, a regular columnist for the New York Times, has taken the already despicable race narrative on the Tea Parties to another level.  He begins with a bit of “diversity” hunting: I had specifically come to this rally because it was supposed to be especially diverse. And, on the stage at least, it was....

President Obama is apparently feeling unappreciated.  “You would think they’d be saying thank you,” he said about the Tea Party protests at a recent Democratic fundraiser. In his mind, he’s worked hard his first year adjusting taxes for our benefit. And for what? Nary a Tea Party thank you has been offered.  Instead he’s faced...

Brian Garst Give Patients A Reason To Say No, Not Government

David Leonhardt of the New York Times discovered in a recent column that health care is not a free and unlimited good.  Some way or another, a certain amount of demand will not be met.  People cannot get all that they want because it is a scarce good and is restrained by the same laws...

Brian Garst Lefties Claim They Can’t Find Anyone to Argue That Obamacare is Unconstitutional
  (Read WP posts from Brian Garst) | (Read MT posts from Brian Garst)

The University of Washington held a “debate” over the constitutionality of the health care bill in which none of the participants argued it was at all unconstitutional. Explaining this farce, the university claimed they couldn’t find any law professors to argue the opposing view. Liberal blogs such as TalkingPointsMemo and Think Progress, the...

Dr. Clouthier recently reminded us that legislators are prone to legislating.  They see all problems as solvable via legislation, just as surgeons see all health problems as correctable through surgery.  But over the last century or so, there’s something else that legislators have also done with increasing regularity: they’ve bullied. Reacting to the recently passed health...

Brian Garst I’ll Gladly Take The Constitution Over Precedent

The LA Times gloats that precedent is against the states seeking to protect their sovereignty in the face of Obamacare unconstitutional onslaught. Reporting from Washington – Lawsuits from 14 states challenging the constitutionality of the new national healthcare law face an uphill battle, largely due to a far-reaching Supreme Court ruling in 2005 that upheld federal...

Brian Garst Federal Worker Pay Outpaces Private Sector
  (Read WP posts from Brian Garst) | (Read MT posts from Brian Garst)

The productive sector of the economy is having to shoulder quite the burden when it comes to paying the salaries for their “public sector” cohorts, who USA Today finds are excessively compensated: Federal employees earn higher average salaries than private-sector workers in more than eight out of 10 occupations, a USA TODAY analysis of federal data...

Brian Garst Fannie Mae Gets Another $15.3 Billion Of Taxpayer Money
  (Read WP posts from Brian Garst) | (Read MT posts from Brian Garst)

On Friday Fannie Mae announced a loss of $16.3 billion for the fourth quarter of 2009.  It then ran hat-in-hand to the Treasury, requesting another $15.3 billion in taxpayer aid.  That makes $76.2 billion that has so far been requested by Fannie Mae.  Oh, and Fannie says yet more of your money will be needed...
