Liberals Should LOVE America’s Economic Slowdown

I’m 100 pages into Mark Steyn’s extraordinary book After America: Get Ready for Armageddon” and I’m already wishing we could make it mandatory reading for every American in the country.

Big Donor to Democrats Appointed to Obamacare Policy Panel

We’ve seen it over and over with the Obama administration. All one need do to become a “czar” or get a plum appointment to yet another Obama regulatory board is to donate big money to Obama’s campaigns specifically or the Democrats in general.

Five Places Obama Might Have Gone On Vacation Instead

As Mr. Obama wrapped up his magical misery tour and taxpayer funded campaign speeches, and prepares for his high toned and fancy tadoo vacation in Martha’s Vineyard, along with (supposedly) turning his focus to jobs (deja vu) while his approval on handling the economy drops to 71%, the Politico offers up 5 places where he […]

An Economic Illiterate in the White House

Following up on his assertion that ATMs cause unemployment, the President today claimed that the Internet is behind the nation’s rampant unemployment. One of the challenges in terms of rebuilding our economy is — businesses have gotten so efficient, that, uh, when was the last time somebody went to a bank teller? Instead of using […]

Sudanocide

Kordofan! As best understood – Sudan’s chief exports are refugees fleeing misery projection, genocide, slavery, intolerance and a super suck of a self imposed 7th century mindset.:  Since seizing power in a coup d’etat eons past – Sudan’s Field Marshal President For Life Omar Bashir (the world’s only sitting Head of State indicted for war […]

A Child Prodigy Under the Welfare State

Critics of socialism say it reduces life to pointless futility, since there is nothing to work toward in a world where anything you create will be stolen by looters and handed over to parasites explicitly because they don’t deserve it.
