May 16, 2013

That was the line Al Gore used back when he was campaigning against George W Bush back in 2000 in raising money at a Buddhist temple (where the monks has a vow of poverty). As I used to hear in Sunday school, and then say myself – an object lesson! By that, he just didn’t [ Read more ]

Blogline of the Day – on political hypocrites

January 18, 2013

“Contrary to the rant in response you’re anticipating, I’m not upset. I’m actually honored to do my part in that whole ‘shared sacrifice’ thing we keep hearing about from our benevolent ruling class. After all, who’s more qualified to talk about shared sacrifice than those who can vote themselves pay raises whenever they want, pass [ Read more ]

But who needs a Dad when Government gives you permission to literally screw up!

December 25, 2012

Ugh. Like I said,in order to have their political jones satisfied, Progressives / Socialists / Marxists / Communists have understood for decades that they have to unmoor the American public from their traditional values in order – and in this case, a most important – Parents authority and responsibility. Here’s a quick story that chops [ Read more ]

Progressives truly believe that laws change EVERYONE’s behavior – and ignore everyone’s nature.

December 16, 2012

What a rather silly notion, Skip. Why, if Progressives actually believed Law, we Conservatives would never have had a (sad) hoot of a time with Sec. of Treasuery Timothy “Turbo Tax” Geitner, Sec of Labor Hilda Solis, Cabinet wannabe Tom Dashle and the other assorted current denizens of the White House staff who have “under [ Read more ]

Sadness – of many things

December 14, 2012

As I remarked to TMEW as we went out for a quick bite to eat “This is not a problem with guns. This is a problem with morality and culture if everything we are hearing is true”. And we have to remember – we don’t know all the details. We do know that Adam Lanza [ Read more ]

Dr. Paul Rahe – the real problem that the Republican Party faces is not campaigning, technology, or GOTV

December 4, 2012

The money lines: The deepest source of our present discontents is the sexual revolution. Our abandonment of chastity as a norm has had dire political consequences. Her right to be promiscuous trumps our right to the fruits of our own labor. From commenter John Walker (a self described “flaming libertarian”): The libertarian society in which [ Read more ]

Morality – once again, Establishment Republicans are unmoored as to the reason we fail.

December 1, 2012

Any person who voted for Barack Obama for the express purpose of having him utilize the US tax and regulatory apparatus to take money away from the rich and give it to them personally, is the moral equivalent of a bank robber.

A disheartened question from a reader – why?

November 19, 2012

Skip – why is it union members can go on strike, and then collect unemployment, medicaid, etc. Not only did the union members loose, but so did all their non-union co-workers. I might be tempted to pay a few union leaders a visit – for dinner of course. Whatever happened to – you work, you [ Read more ]

“What is moral about the free market?”

November 12, 2012

One of my favorite economists is Dr. Walter E. Williams, Professor of Economics at George Mason University. He is always able to take the complicated, boil it down, and make it easy to understand. Given that the whole notion of what capitalism and the free marketplace can do (versus the socialistic turn we seem to [ Read more ]

Noteable Quote: Russell Kirk

February 20, 2012

All Values are not the same, nor all impulses, nor all men. A Natural gradation teaches men to hold some sentiments dear and others cheap. Leveling radicalism endeavors to put all emotions and sensations on the same level of mediocrity, and so to erase the moral imagination which sets men apart from beasts. -Russell Kirk [ Read more ]

Again,Elites are trying to get rid of Capitalism – but we can see it is not an economics system problem but a problem of morality

January 23, 2012

Every year, the Elites of the political, economic, and cultural worlds gather in Davos, Switzerland to talk about global ‘stuff’ – what’s trending, what’s wrong, and their global ways of fixing them what they believe is wrong – for the betterment of us all.

It always comes down to morality, doesn’t it?

November 25, 2011

A snippet caught my eye over at Powerline (emphasis mine): So let’s revisit the original for a moment, and note the media propensity for glorifying whatever self-assertion reckless youth decides to throw up at the moment. Back in 1969, Time magazine chirped that Woodstock may well rank as one of the significant political and sociological events [ Read more ]

The Very Partisan Granite State Fair Tax Coalition Part II

July 19, 2011

The Granite State Fair Tax Coalition (GSFTC–Greedy Socialists Frisking TaxPayers Cash) is a partisan non-profit, which for years has insisted it is a non-partisan group advocating an income tax in New Hampshire. But the GSFTC is non-partisan the way MSNBC is. They use the dark side equivalent of the Jedi mind trick. ‘The force can have a strong influence on the weak minded.”

Dangerous Democrats

July 8, 2011

Obama and the democrats can let Iran build nukes because it is a no-lose situation for them. Inaction is action. If by chance Iran does not nuke up, they will take credit. If it does, and then kills millions, they will blame George Bush, or obstructionist Republicans.

Geithner Can’t Justify Doing That

June 24, 2011

I’m not sure which is worse. The fact that Geithner thinks we need to do this at all, or the fact that he seems to believe that what he says is in any way moral or that it will, as Mr. Geithner claims to believe–improve growth. Growth of government and taxes yes, but nothing else grows.
