Rebutting the Paradox of Choice

In my last video, I critiqued a woman who argued that too many choices are bad. She claimed choices create paralysis and depression. Well, I just realized that this absurd view is quite common. Here is another video response. Enjoy!

Obama Losing Support Faster Among the Poor Than Among the Rich

Students of oligarchical collectivism should not be surprised that despite his sophomoric “eat the rich” rhetoric, Barack Hussein Obama is losing support faster among the poor than among the champagne and caviar crowd that installed him in power: In the week of June 20-26 — the most recent week published by Gallup — only 45 […]

Obama Continues to Shovel Our Money at ACORN

The Senator From ACORN is now the President From ACORN. Revelations that the outfit is so odious as to support child sex slavery led to a congressional ban on funding, but so long as the Moonbat Messiah is in office, the flow of our money will not be impeded: A Judicial Watch investigation has found […]

Obama Puts Israel on ‘State Supporters of Terror’ List, Then Opens Diplomatic Relations With Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt

Obama’s is one of the most disastrous foreign policies of any president ever. His latest outrage is the dual absurdities of, on one hand putting Israel on a list of state sponsors of terrorism, while on the other hand opening a dialog with and bestowing diplomatic legitimacy upon the terrorists of the Muslim Brotherhood in […]

Senator Thune On The Best Way To Meet With Obama

Could the GOP finally have gotten the clue, after Obama’s snit fit acting like a 5 year old not allowed to get a new My Little Unicorn presser, that it is time to take the gloves off? One of the Senate’s top Republicans on Thursday fired back at President Obama for questioning his party’s work […]

Q&A Friday #107: Do We Need More Political Parties?

Question: There should be a Liberal Party. And a Democrat Party. Just like there should be a Conservative Party and a Republican Party. Then you would have to build coalitions in order to get stuff passed, rather than just having two sides that dig in their heels, and then you have “gangs” of small groups […]

This Week In Quotes: June 24 – June 30

People are generally skeptical of government, and increasingly believe government and law are a crooked game which a Good Citizen ought to respect only to the extent necessary to avoid jailtime. — Ace It’s mob mentality.

Dick Durbin: Our Future President Could Be An Illegal Alien?

It’s actually sad that someone like Dick Durbin, who’s one of the most powerful men in the Senate, doesn’t even have a passing familiarity with the Constitution and sings the praises of people who are breaking our laws while he does it. Dick Durbin isn’t even aware that illegal aliens can’t be American citizens. After […]

How to Have an Environmentally Sanctimonious 4th of July

For Americans, the 4th of July is a time of barbecues and patriotic celebration. But for the New York Times and its remaining readers, it is a time of “atonement” and unwitting self-parody: Food is responsible for 10 to 30 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. By many estimates, cooking represents more of a meal’s […]

Jerry Brown Demonstrates Democrat Tax Policy

Rather than take responsible steps toward climbing out of the hole it has dug itself into, California chose to return Governor Moonbeam to office. His response to the government-caused economic crisis demonstrates Democrat economics in a nutshell: Gov. Jerry Brown has signed into law California’s tax on Internet sales through affiliate advertising which will immediately […]

Unions Display Hatred in Union Derangement Syndrome

My Friend Maggie Thurber has a great piece chronicling the hate that unions in Ohio display for those voters that stand against the absurd riches that government employees have wrung out of the taxpayers in the Buckeye State. Pointing out that union supporters are “dripping with ‘hate’ and derision toward people who see a problem […]

Doctrine Of Constrainment

Constrained! That’s what they calls it after the ‘rents freak the freak out about next month’s Visa statement showcasing over a hundred bucks splurged on liq liq liquor (liquor) on a Tuesday night (to be fair – please note a Jalapeno burger de luxe should be in there somewhere):  – with the appropriate gratuity – […]

CBS Poll: 39% Say US Economy Is In Permanent Decline

Here’s a spiffy little graphic from CBS News That’s NMP Obama’s, and the Democrats, economy. An 11% shift for the worse in 9 months. That’s not the only finding signaling that Americans have a negative outlook about their economic future. Only 20 percent now say the economy is getting better, the lowest number since last […]

EPA Pushes New E15 Label, Law Of Consequences To Rear Ugly Head

Don’t we have a Department of Transportation for these kinds of things? The government has settled on a label for gas stations selling a blend of gasoline and ethanol called E15, which contains more ethanol — grain alcohol — than the E10 blend that’s replaced pure gasoline at most stations. The Environmental Protection Agency previously […]

Obama Finally Drops All Pretense At Being POTUS

There’s a reason I have been referring to Obama as NMP (Not My President) over the last few weeks: he no longer represents the People of the United State. He simply represents the interests of Obama and the Democrat Party. In my 43 years, I have never witnessed any president who is as outgoingly partisan […]

James Clyburn Pushes Moonbattery to the Border of Blasphemy

The Left hates Christianity and America because both are bulwarks in the defense of individual liberty from oligarchical collectivism. Yet we hear this from Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC): “I always find it very interesting that people talk all about their [failed attempt to pronounce ‘fundamental’] Christianity and all these other religions, all of which teach […]

Michael Bloomberg: Fight Al Qaeda by Restricting Gun Sales

The bureaucrats eating our country alive have countless ways to waste our money. Yet in the end, they only spend it on one thing: eradicating freedom.
