Barack Obama: “No, I won’t.” The president refuses to give even his opinion on a subject as critical as enhanced interrogation techniques. This is typical of a man who voted “present” so many times in the Illinois Senate, and who continued voting present on controversial bills right through the U.S. Senate. It appears the […]
Obama Just Using Unions? Absolutely.
You would expect the liberal press to devote as much anger and attention toward any attempts to limit unions as it did during the battle over collective bargaining in Wisconsin earlier this year. Don’t count on it. The press is ignoring major moves to curtail union power, and the president is doing the same. President […]
The Fed Fiddles While the Dollar Burns
What will happen when interest rates take off and the Obama administration wants to borrow, spend, tax and print more money? You just cannot make it up. Meanwhile, Fed Chief Bernanke tells aghast Americans that he is 100% certain he can keep inflation under control. Are either the Fed chief or the president noting that […]
A Cure for Trump Fever

America’s Sad and Dangerous Decline
“We’re not libertarians: we’re Republicans,” so sayeth one Florida legislator in regards to Florida’s effort to free up 20 vocations in Florida from needless government regulation. Robert A.

The Cracker Jack Prize
America’s Founders intended that the presidency was to be a weak office, with the office of the president to be a largely ceremonial position. Our Founders signed a compact among the states providing for powerful states’ rights and a limited central government. At the Albany Congress in 1754, Benjamin Franklin proposed the formation of a […]
Who Will Lead “The Founders Party”?
“Collective bargaining is a misguided labor policy,” the Cato Institute’s Chris Edwards comments in an article titled “Cato Institute Allied with SEIU? Not Quite.” The Weekly Standard article says all one needs to know about the inefficiencies, waste, and often thuggishness and fraud of unions. Americans will be well served in searching out the rigorous, […]
The Tea Party’s Biggest Concern Is The Old Boy Republican Leadership
John Boehner, the new speaker, is a lazy, double-talking shill for corporate interests. So how’s he going to fare with the Tea Party? Matt Taibbi asks readers this question in his 20 January 2011 Rolling Stone feature, “The Crying Shame of John Boehner.” Now, we all know from the top that Rolling Stone is a […]
How Does Prison Sound to You?
How does a prison term sound to you? Well, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has announced that, contrary to the Bush administration, the Obama administration will work hand-in-glove with the U.N. to pass a new “Small Arms Treaty.” You’re looking at nothing short of a global gun-control scheme that would be in absolute violation of […]
Progress the Obama Way
Non-Farm employment today stands at 130,265,000. In July of 2009, it stood at 130,193,000. If you look real hard, you may see some microscopic job growth.
