Think “Changing Horses Midstream” is a bad idea in Obama’s case?

Think again “The numbers, they are awful.” 9.2% — unemployment rate for June. 0.1% — increase since May. 16.2% — underemployment rate for June. 0.4% — increase since May. 8% — conventional wisdom for the maximum allowable unemployment rate to win reelection. 15 — remaining BLS reporting months before Election Day. 255,000 — net jobs [...]

Economic Freedom, or something…else?

We live in a country where the quality of life has been the envy of the world. How many people worldwide try to sneak in here every year? We’ve seen over the last decade, as the size of government has grown, as government has taken more and more control over our lives, that’s beginning to [...]

So…now evil coal smoke SAVES the planet?

As in, coal-fired plants can save us all from “Global Warming™”? Now who will save us from idiot environmentalists? I remember back in 7th grade at Sevilla Elementary School in Phoenix having a science teacher who predicted an “Ice Age” by 1995; a year that in 1971 or 2 seemed like a million years away. [...]

Herman Cain on Obama’s Failure to Lead

It’s been shown time and time again; disagree with Obama on policy, you must hate the man for the color of his skin. Herman Cain disagrees with Obama on policy. What color is Herman Cain, again? Is he also a racist, or do leftist Democrats have another name for him? They aren’t for the most [...]

California Dems caught in their own trap. Cue the violins.

California Proposition 25 was pushed hard by California unions and their Democrat allies in the legislature, ostensibly as a measure to “help end the gridlock in Sacramento” by making it easier to pass a budget. It would require only a majority vote to pass the state budget, rather than the 2/3 majority it’s been in [...]

Faith in/and the media

It’s been outed at the BBC; • [Peter] Sissons [“One of Britain’s most senior news broadcasters”] made headlines in January when he attacked the BBC for its “institutional” leftwing bias that he said was “written into its DNA.” Sissons, whose memoirs are being published in a series by the right-of-centre Daily Mail newspaper, said that [...]

Rep. Paul Ryan tries to get the truth out about the House Budget; meanwhile Weinergate

Seems conservative bloggers are nowhere to be found; everything on the right is pounding Weiner. Literally. A cursory Google search shows a crapload of attacks against Ryan and the GOP House Budget, with little or no push back. Democrats on the left are childishly attacking Ryan with everything from Granny being pushed downstairs to churlish [...]

Herman Cain plumbs up a liberal

He’s NOT “against” government, he’s against too MUCH government A lib will start to make an argument to support his/her position, realize his/her argument is sounding idiotic even to him/her, then attempt to switch arguments on the fly to make it about something else. Herman Cain isn’t having any of that; The lib/leftist attempting to [...]
