Voters Should Research

Those who plan on voting should be responsible enough to do a little research.  This 13 minute video is a good place to start.  Those who have been paying attention know that this video could have easily been much longer, but they did a good job of editing it down to capture the attention of … Continue reading →

Sorting Through the Politics of Labeling

(Previous posted, but has been edited and reposted with additional information) Fascism.  Nazism.  Communism.  Liberalism.  Conservatism.  Socialism.  Marxism.  Capitalism.  Corporatism.  Statism.  Libertarianism.  Despotism.  Progressivism. How does one navigate through all of the overlapping meanings? George W. Bush was called a fascist and compared to Hitler.  The comparisons were absurd, just as they are for Barrack … Continue reading →

This is the first time I’ve reblogged a piece. It is brutally honest and thought provoking.

Founding Fathers, Debt, and Bubbles

Barack Obama and the main stream media at some point in this election will attempt again to change the discussion from the perils of the public debt to one of income inequality (which we earlier refuted to be a bogus argument).  The public debt is the greatest danger we face today.  It stands at a … Continue reading →

Politics of Race – Part 3, The Narrative

What is “the narrative”? The narrative is how some stories garner national media attention while others do not.  It is how similar stories are covered differently depending on the possible political ramifications.  Sometimes, it is simply comical as it was when the media reported that Mitt Romney once moved hauling his pet dog on top … Continue reading →

Makers vs. Takers

James Madison warned that as our country grew in population, that those who were considered self-sufficient (or as we’ll discuss later, the makers) would be in the minority.  The risk would be that the majority would seek redistribution of wealth through the political process.  James Madison, In all civilized Countries the people fall into different … Continue reading →

Others sometimes say it better

Actually, others often say it better.  Which is why you see politicians steal from other’s past speeches, and I devote an entire page to quotes from our Founding Fathers.  But, there is another page where I have posted videos from others who have been able to articulate information very succinctly and I encourage all my readers … Continue reading →

Racism rant

It is time to grow up people. On Yahoo’s homepage, the lead story at the moment I type this is “Caddie makes racist remark about Tiger” The summary? Steve Williams caddied for Tiger Woods for years, then during Tiger’s rebound from his litany of affairs that derailed his career, he fired Williams.  Subsequently, Williams rebounded … Continue reading →

Iowa Republican Debate

It was an interesting debate.  I think the country would be better served by more debates with lengthier discussions between the candidates.  The need to have such short answers actually leads to the attempts at soundbites rather than substantive talk.  I’ll discuss my views on each candidate’s performance in the order they were lined up … Continue reading →
