Only one of these Obama sentences are true

June 9, 2013

I could not leave it alone – Grokster Susan quoted a partial of what Obama said to Dem donors at yet another campaign stop, and given that I quoted it yesterday during our first half hour on GrokTalk!, I figured I’d requote it: The truth of the matter is Michael and I — I know [ Read more ]

Notable Quote: Albert Jay Nock

June 2, 2013

Let us suppose that instead of being slow, extravagant, inefficient, wasteful, unadaptive, stupid, and at least by tendency corrupt, the State changes its character entirely and becomes infinitely wise, good, disinterested, efficient, so that anyone may run to it with any little two-penny problem and have it solved for him at once in the wisest [ Read more ]

The Real Agents of Change

May 30, 2013

Democrats like to promote themselves as change agents.  Agents of change.  And this makes them hip.  Modern.  Progressive.  But nothing could be further from the truth. Democrats promote the politicization of everything and by extension the bureaucratization of everything.  To them government is the best arbiter of progress.  But the process of making government the [ Read more ]

Schadenfreude, Mr. Morgan? Or is that just the scales falling off your eyes?

May 17, 2013

CNN’s Piers Morgan, the Brit Twit who decided that taking on Pro-Second Amendment folks during the run up to the Senate’s attempt to pass stricter gun laws to boost his ratings (er, #FAIL), is seemingly having a change of mind about it all.  You see, after poo-pooing (or screaming, taking your pick) that that these [ Read more ]

The Paleo Party

April 9, 2013

The thing the Democrat Party wants the most is to convince us that it is in our best interest, regardless of the interest, to let the government manage as much of our community and our lives as possible.  Cost is, of course, no object (because it is not their money).  But this is the oldest [ Read more ]

Notable Quote: Their Faith is in The Legislator, Ours is in Mankind

January 14, 2013

I am, I confess, one of those who think that choice and impulse ought to come from below and not from above, from the citizen and not from the legislator; and the opposite doctrine appears to me to tend to the destruction of liberty and of human dignity. But by a deduction as false as [ Read more ]

Mencken…

January 4, 2013

The government consists of a gang of men exactly like you and me. They have, taking one with another, no special talent for the business of government; they have only a talent for getting and holding office. Their principal device to that end is to search out groups who pant and pine for something they [ Read more ]

Notable Quote – Plus!: On Restraining the ‘Passions of Men’

Government or Private: Really, which is “investment” and which is just spending?

December 9, 2012

Remember, there is a reason why the Left is redefining the language that Government no longer “spends” but “invests”.  They hate the idea that investments in the private sector can do far better than Government spending, so they (as in many other areas) try to equate the two so as to totally blur any difference [ Read more ]

Wither Thee A Thermostat – One Example of How Government Can Ruin Your Life

December 7, 2012

Here is a very good example of why the Government sucks, and why the very nature of the state as a reliever of ills is actually destructive to that very end.. Throughout the entire winter, every winter lately, the temperature in my house is around 63-65 degrees.  At night, and when we are out, it [ Read more ]

Notable Quote: Government As A Protector From Natural Evils

November 7, 2012

The ideas of religion and government are closely connected; and whilst we receive government as a thing necessary, or even useful to our well-being, we shall in spite of us draw in, as a necessary, though undesirable consequence, an artificial religion of some kind or other.  To this the vulgar will always be voluntary slaves; [ Read more ]

Where is Obama’s Help for Sandy Victims?

November 5, 2012

President Obama flew to New Jersey for a photo op and to make lots of promises before flying on to campaign events.  Apparently he has forgotten about Sandy and the hurting Americans.

Oh, And By The Way…The Government DID NOT Create The Internet

July 24, 2012

Mr. ‘Spread-the-Wealth’ “You-didn’t-build-that” Obama is having another bad week after reading a bit too much off the left side of the TelePrompTer.  His Divine Luminance seem to have forgotten what country he is trying to lord over.   When he tried to tell actual business owners that their success can only be the result of the [ Read more ]

Every Issue is a Social Issue

February 29, 2012

The single greatest shortcoming among the secularists, the non-religious right, most of the left, the social justice “small ‘r’ religious left, and the mass of humans too confounded (or disinterested) by it all to be called anything but in the middle, is that humans are essentially selfish and immoral creatures whom–if left unchecked–will inevitably devolve [ Read more ]

Democrat’s Say The Dumbest Things

November 6, 2011

Mr. Morse and the left would have you believe that jobs spring from government like Eve from the rib of Adam. They do not want to admit that ‘government’ is itself a luxury item that must be paid for like anything else’ by the product of the private sector risk taking. Good government cannot exist without the conscience of better men giving a portion of their property for some guarantee of stability and a promise to protect their property in exchange.

If You Are Not Following Me On Twitter….

July 20, 2011

Twitter inspires the opportunity to aggravate the leftists who insist on following conservatives there. Not every witticism will fit on Twitter. Sometimes you have to write a blog and post a link. And then there are the thoughts that are too short to blog and too long to tweet. (Some things can’t be said in under 140 characters.)
