Video: Big government plus big spending equals big poverty

By on June 28, 2011 in Current Affairs

I guess it's just part of the human mosaic represented in any society. There will always be hardworking innovators, and there will always be lazy con artists. There are givers, takers, gossips, and rubberneckers. And then there is the seemingly omnipresent control freak who believes so strongly in his own pre-eminence, that he thinks it right and fitting to confiscate and spend his neighbor's paycheck [...]

Bernie Sanders: Socialist and liar… but I repeat myself

By on April 5, 2011 in Current Affairs

Because truth and socialism are mutually exclusive. Hat tip to Newsbusters. Isn’t it hilarious when avowed socialist, Sen. Bernie Sanders, (I-VT), forgets that he no longer lives the glory days when there were only six or eight major media outlets, and they all provided lie-with-impunity passes to lefties like him? Of course there is no [...]

Evil capitalists dump cold, white global warming all over Mt. Kilimanjaro… I think

By on March 22, 2011 in Current Affairs

Hat tip to Pirate’s Cove. As if we needed any more evidence that environmental statists intend to cling to the sinking Global Warming ship until the bitter end. Or, I would imagine, until they find some other club to beat wealth and liberty out of hardworking capitalist America. Covered in mist most of the day, Mount Kilimanjaro is [...]

San Francisco public servant renounces the Pledge of Allegiance

By on January 29, 2011 in Current Affairs

Why am I not surprised: Newly elected Supervisor Jane Kim stands with her colleagues, but does not speak the words. Nor does she place her right hand over her heart during the recitation. She is the only one of the 11-member board who doesn’t say the pledge. Kim’s objection to the pledge, she says, is [...]

Sheriff Taylor’s Pitching Something, and it Ain’t Hay

By on December 6, 2010 in Current Affairs

My latest post on Newsreal. When I was four years old, my big brother would grab my arm and make me hit myself. It was an intensely frustrating sensation, being forced to abuse myself by an over-powering external entity. I’m feeling something like that right now. It happens a lot lately. Remember all those highway [...]

Video thrill: Freedom (of speech) rings at the European Parliament

By on November 28, 2010 in Current Affairs

Hat tip to Cubachi. Great video of British freedom-warrior, Nigel Farage, railing against the liberty-garroting, border-blurring, bureaucratic wet blanket that is the European Union. Watching Farage’s rant (Just who the hell do you people think you are!”) reminded me of the old saying that “communism is socialism with a gun to your head.” Because Farage’s impassioned [...]

Election Day 2010: A Time for Choosing

By on October 27, 2010 in Current Affairs

  Tuesday’s election may seem typical on the outside, but Jeffrey Lord with the American Spectator believes there is much more on the ballot this year than your typical aspirant for city council or the U.S. senate. Lord views this election as a climactic affirmation of our core values. And he predicts Wednesday morning will not [...]

We are the Service Employees Union International, and we think you are as dumb as a doorknob

By on July 31, 2010 in Current Affairs

  If you haven’t seen the new SEIU-produced video that compares a fence on our southern border with the Berlin Wall and incarcerating law-breakers to the Japanese-American internment, you can find it at the end of this piece. Or, better yet, you could save electricity and just stand in front of a mirror and call yourself [...]

“For years the United States was the island of sanity in the ocean of pain, suffering and injustice in which most of the world was drowning…”

By on July 7, 2010 in Current Affairs

Ex-Soviet, Leon Weinstein, is circulating a cautionary letter ”written by people who came from where Obama is taking America to.” Weinstein, who survived Marxism’s bloody death-grip over the 20th Century, is rallying other ex-communists to sound the alarm for America’s eroding freedom. Here are some excerpts from Weinstein’s poignant wake-up call for ignorant and apathetic America: Dear ex-compatriots who once lived under the socialist [...]
