Chasing the Equality Rabbit Down the Democrat’s Debt Hole

November 6, 2012

Even if it does not appear obvious, even to the casual observer, once government gets started on something it is difficult to get it to stop. So where exactly do we expect the Democrats notions of state managed economic leveling to take us?  Their talk of economic equality centers on the idea that the government [ Read more ]

Paul Ryan on Poverty

October 25, 2012

“The mindset behind this approach is that a nation should measure compassion by the size of the federal government and how much it spends….The problem is, starting in the 1960s, this top-down approach created and perpetuated a debilitating culture of dependency, wrecking families and communities.” “There’s a vast middle ground between the government and the [ Read more ]

Have You Met Julia?

May 4, 2012

Have you met Julia?  She’s you under the eternal reign of Obamanomics–as viewed from within the left wing ghetto.

According to Obama’s campaign website, someone [ Read more ]

If the economy is getting better…(Part 4)

February 7, 2012

…then why is the percentage of Americans living in “extreme poverty” at an all-time high? Nothing says economic recovery like rising poverty.  Not just poverty but extreme poverty.  What, you hadn’t heard about that? Then maybe you hadn’t heard this either.  Joblessness begets dependence, begets poverty, begets slaves to the will of the government.  Big [ Read more ]

7 Things About Obama

December 29, 2011

Things everyone should know about Democrat leadership.  (No need to remind you that they will blame everyone but themselves for it.)   Every day, the U.S. government takes in $6 billion and spends $10 billion.  This means that every day the federal government spends $4 billion more dollars than it has. The real unemployment rate [ Read more ]

Prepare For The Barakaclypse

November 17, 2011

Every one of these was or is a left wing campaign to make leftist dogma look like centrist mantra. They exist to streamline progressive/socialsit thought into mainstream thinking. But they failed and so the latter iterations have become more destructive. Each “movement” has gotten progressively more unruly, progressively more violent.

October 21, 2011

With the Union Leader reporting again that New Hampshire has the lowest poverty rate in he nation and is the only state under 10%, this seemed like a good time to revisit this post from mid-September; I expect the left will be regurgitating these meme so we should be prepared to rebut their nonsense.

Eat The Rich

October 17, 2011

If we ‘eat the rich’ we get one meal, after which there is nothing left to eat. Without any wealth creators to tax the bloated government either starves to death or it looks for other prey. The ignorant statists are clearly not smart enough to know who is next in line, or forward thinking enough to know just how short that line is until the government gets to them.

ONE Vote NH Censoring Facebook Comments?

October 11, 2011

Recent remarks were posted on the ONE Campaign New Hampshire Facebook page asking if their group was the same one that promoted global redistribution of wealth.

Deconstructing Elizabeth Warren in 135 Words

October 1, 2011

First, where did the money come from that was taxed to build the roads, and pay the teachers, and equip the cops? The answer is the factory owners–risk takers who created the jobs and provided wages to be taxed. Without them, there are no wages, no taxes, and no government.

Rich Man Poor Man

August 6, 2011

If you are on the verge of being defined as low income in American, or maybe you are at or blow the “poverty line,”, you have a good deal to be thankful for. For example,you probably live in a larger home than most Europeans. There are appliances, televisions, maybe a car or two out front.
