Following the outburst from Politico’s headline that 13-year-old Conservative, Jonathan Krohn, is now 17 and Liberal, it was impossible to not be reminded that the GOP does not know &%$# when it comes to getting the youth vote. But let’s look on the bright side; the GOP can make a change. They’re just going to […]
In a recent essay for the Wall Street Journal, Mr. Alan Blinder makes a partisan diatribe for more government while claiming he is for less. His is an outstanding piece of convoluted Keynesian economic propaganda. Near the end he tells the reader he wants a more neutral tax system under which “… the allocation of […]
Yesterday, the Supreme Court upheld the 2,700 page monstrosity of a law commonly called “ObamaCare,” reminding us all that the third branch of government is still government. To those of us unimpaired by a law degree, it did not seem like a difficult question: where, precisely, does the Constitution empower the federal government to mandate […]
You would think that keeping that old car running would qualify very well for ‘sustainability’ tax credits or some gold stars from the Reuse and Recycle crowd, wouldn’t you? After all, keeping that old car means not ditching more metal into the junkyard where old cars go to die. I’m not wasting money on trading […]
What happens to the deficit? It could go down according to ‘many’ respected observers. It could go up according to ‘many’ other respected observers. You are going to hear the Democrats wail about how repeal of the mandate is going to ‘increase the deficit’. Republicans will say that it will ‘decrease the deficit’. ‘(I don’t) […]
Obama’s latest campaign strategy, outlined by White House advisor David Plouffe, is rather baffling.

That’s especially ironic considering that Democrats gave Reagan’s conservatism its greatest confirmation. What better proof of […]
Our presidential candidates squared off in Ohio last week, each merrily indicting the policies of the other. Both speeches lacked one crucial plank in their platforms. Good jobs require good money. The absence of good monetary policy is submerging the whole world in a second decade of “Dark Ages” stagnation … and misery. Romney’s choice […]
In an unusual turn of events, the Charlotte City Council rejected the plans of City Manager Curt Walton and decided to do its job, which is to be the board of directors to city staff, not compliant followers. Credit is due to Mr. Walton as he has only been following the footsteps of the corporate […]
We used to recognize them by their entrenched contradictions; Republicans were the party of free enterprise and regulated morality while Democrats were the party of civil liberties and economic confiscation. Libertarians were also easy to identify – we took the best from each to form the party of free enterprise AND civil liberties. Think of […]
The justice system is apparently through with John Edwards. But according to the former Senator and presidential candidate, God isn’t. If the Almighty needs a helping hand, Edwards — the legal albatross removed from his neck — is ready to help. He began rehabilitating his image the minute his trial concluded, vowing his devotion to […]
