The Only Jobs The Left Creates or Saves

The professional left and their media homunculi bemoan the decline of America from its once proud manufacturing heritage.  “We don’t build things anymore,” they say, and “where have all the good paying manufacturing jobs gone?”

The better question is, where are the hard working Americans’ who would work in manufacturing if the left stopped pushing policy that made it almost impossible to create those jobs in the first place?

Democrats Passed the Law so They Could Find Out What Was In It

courtgavel-tileThe ruling in King v. Burwell will determine whether the Supreme Court believes Democrats must live with their own words or not.

Democrats wrote the Affordable Care Act. They excluded taxpayer bailouts to states that do not build their own exchanges (in part) to force them to build them, and (in part) to punish those who did not climb on board the hopey-changey-health-care-bus.

Democrats bribed Democrat members of congress to pass it. They insisted we had to pass it to see what was in it. This is what was in it.

The Left Wont Even Let You Be the Woman You Thought You Were Meant to Be…

…because like everything else coming from the left, if you refuse to conform you are an enemy of the state, “the state” being whatever state of being to which you refused to conform. Moreover, there’s something gloriously perverse in celebrating someone’s (Bruce Jenner’s) courage to boldly smash sexual categories and then, in the same breath, … Read more

Lincoln Chafee – ‘Lets Go Metric!’

From the “No chance in Hell” department.

Lincoln Chafee, the former Republican, independent, senator and governor of Rhode Island, joined the race for the Democratic presidential nomination on Wednesday with a plea to change the way Americans measure stuff.

“Earlier, I said let’s be bold,” he said from George Mason University in Virginia. “Here’s a bold embrace of internationalism: Let’s join the rest of the world and go metric.

Hmmm. We’ve been “going metric” my entire life and all we’ve got to show for it (in the day-day world) are two-liter bottles of soda that go flat before you finish them. But hey, maybe this Republican, turned Independent, running for the Democrat presidential nomination, has the inside line?  (Be warned: he may change his mind and declare himself in favor of switching to fingers and palms by mid-summer if Joe Biden hasn’t enforced his claim on those by that time.)
