Year: 2012

In the last week of July, ECB President Mario Draghi attracted investor interest worldwide by saying that he would do “whatever it takes” to solve the Eurozone crisis and, in the process, save the euro. Markets rallied as investors concluded that Mr. Draghi could only be referring to the financial heroine of quantitative easing (QE) […]

PLYMOUTH NOTCH, Vt. — Two of my pundit colleagues — David Brooks of The New York Times and Peggy Noonan of The Wall Street Journal — have written about this “boring” and “inconsequential” presidential campaign. Perhaps the reason is that we’ve heard it all before. “There is nothing new under the sun,” wrote the author […]

Most informed people realize that our current Social Security system is unsustainable with the level of debt that we’re racking up. However, did you know that even Americans who are retiring today are: ALREADY receiving less money than they paid into the program?

“One of the things you’ll learn in dealing with the professional Left is that they have absolutely no ethics whatsoever when it comes to dealing with conservatives. They’re perfectly content to smear us, lie about us, or silence us in any way that they can get away with. It’s very much an “end justifies the […]

As people have become progressively more wimpy and feminized, we’re hearing more and more calls for legislative and corporate action designed to prevent people from being mean to each other.

Cha-ching! I have one word for that homo […]

One is the runoff primary for the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate in Texas. Former state Solicitor General Ted Cruz thumped incumbent Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, 57 to 43 percent. […]

Every attempt to find the dumbest thing in liberal world this week just led to another, and another, each dumber than the last. Picking just one to rant about became a task of epic proportions, so two of them it is. In no particular order… A Chicken The name Adam Smith has a storied history, […]

Another day and another editorial opposing Israel in The NY Times – http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/05/opinion/sunday/israels-fading-democracy.html?pagewanted=all: and this one from a man, Avraham Burg, who is widely regarded as an extreme leftist who is well outside of the consensus of Israeli politics.: : Israel has long ago written the man off, and it’s doubtful anything he wrote could get any coverage […]

State Sen. Mark Leno wants California to recognize that a child can have “more than two legal parents.” So he wrote a bill, SB 1476, which, he argues, wouldn’t change the definition of a parent — for example, live-in lovers would not qualify — but would allow family court to recognize more than two parents […]
