Remember the IRS scandal? It’s gone. Poof.

It requires terrific confidence in the passivity of the press to float the discredited […]

Random Thoughts

Random thoughts on the passing scene: It is amazing how many people still fall for the argument that, if life is unfair, the answer is to turn more money and power over to politicians.

Socialism, Not Access To Care, Is Obama’s Prize

Each passing day is more incriminating for President Obama’s Obamacare, as the news is like a relentless prosecutor amassing evidence against a serial killer.

A Trust Deficit

Most people accept the notion that politicians don’t always tell the truth. Some lies are harmless enough; others more consequential.

Your Tax Dollar at Work Promoting Racial Self-Hatred

The percentage of the wealth we create that is confiscated by the government is crippling, but at least our money is spent more creatively by the pointy-headed liberal social engineers in charge than we would ever spend it ourselves.

Colin Powell is a Moron…PERIOD

General Colin Powell would have retired a lieutenant had it not been for affirmative action. Powell is a first-class moron.
