A Poor Mechanic Blames His Tools

So say, for example, that you take your car to a mechanic.  The car’s not running all that great, and you’d like to get it a tune-up.  Your mechanic takes on the job, and promises you that your trusty automobile will soon be running better than ever before. You pick the car up later that [...]

Definition of Progressivism

Imposing economic policies that force millions of people to lose their jobs and begin relying, perhaps for the first time in their lives, on welfare subsidies, then turn around and brag about how many people your social programs are helping! See how effective our program is?  We are helping millions now, where before we were only [...]

Agenda 21: The Birth Parent of Cap and Trade

 Well, since the ”Cap-n-Trade” Bill, code named H.R. 2454: American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009, aka the Waxman-Markey contribution to national decline has passed into law, thanks quite literally to the eight Republicans who voted for it, Republicans who it will be shown, I’m sure, to have some sort of financial interest to gain, I [...]

Global Warming and The Downing Street Memo

In the run up to the second Iraq war, there came to light a document which came to be know as the “Downing Street Memo.”  The crux of this document is that it reflected the author’s concerns that the culture in the White House at the time was such that there was only one right [...]

Racism = Bad. Racialism = good. Apparently.

So, I have determined that it is only appropriate to focus on a person’s race or gender if you are “heralding” it.  Judge Sonomayor is being “heralded” as the first hispanic Supreme Court Justice.  Barack Obama is “heralded” as the first black president.  Every month is some sort of minority appreciation month where we “herald” the [...]

DHS Report on Right-Wing Extremists Makes Stars & Stripes

There’s a front-page report on the DHS report highlighting the dangers of “right-wing extremists” in today’s Stars & Stripes,  yet strangely I can find nothing about it on their web site.  I wonder if that was an editorial decision to bury the story?  You can’t unprint newspapers, but you can easily delete a link. There was [...]

You can’t be trusted with your money.

Found this quote over at Carin’s place:  it is wrong to give them (ed. – that would be YOU) unilateral power to decide whether their taxpayer-subsidized donations should go to, say, well-heeled operas or lavish care of pets rather than to organizations that meet more pressing communal needs (my emphasis) And that, ladies and gentlemen, is [...]

Roe V Wade – True or False

If the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, then abortions would be illegal. True or False? UPDATE: Too good not to post.  From one of those “Might Be Related” links below, comes this cogent, erudite, well-reasoned defense of Roe V. Wade: Roe v Wade is a Surpreme Court of US case on abortion rights. Roe [...]

And just so we’re clear, I totally called this one.

Reid to GOP: It’s your fault if stimulus stalls  In a Thursday afternoon news conference, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid urged Senate Republicans not to line up against the bill, and says Republicans will be blamed for any delay in the landmark economic legislation. And I quote: I predict that the blame will be placed [...]

Global warming continues to wreak its deadly havoc

Winter storms stretch to New England The storms have cut power to tens of thousands of homes, glazed roads and been blamed for at least five deaths. Thus, of course, further emphasizing the desperate need for drastic measures to combat global warming, such as spending millions of the creation of the position of  a global [...]
