Charity in Truth: The Pope Calls for One World Government

On June 29th, Pope Benedict XVI issued an encyclical letter entitled, “CARITAS IN VERITATE,” (latin for “Charity in Truth.”) In this epistle, the pontiff spells out his views on the global economy, politics, charity, and social justice. I must confess the document was tedious to read (they say it’s 144 pages but [...]

U.S. Debt Clock

Astounding depiction of America’s economic spiral downward.

Visual Economics

Visualization is always effective:

Executive Summary of Governmental Hijacking of Capitalism

The government is working rapidly to inflict it’s own incompetences on top of those shown by some of the businesses that were ‘too big to fail’.  This way, the entire country gets to fail together!

Government capitalism requires no relevant experience, just political activism.

American Capitalism Gone With A Whimper

The proud American will go down into his slavery with out a fight, beating his chest and proclaiming to the world, how free he really is. The world will only snicker.

Now? Who?

There is a seething rumble of outrage beneath the surface of every precinct in the country.

Why?

Because people are scared.

We’re Out of Money, the Video

Thought the video needed posting of the ’shocked, Shocked!’ admission:

Newsflash to the Harvard grad: medicare and medicaid has been an oncoming fiscal trainwreck for 45 years at least. I first heard it identified as such in 1963 on the GE Lecture tour of Ronald Reagan and the retirement of the Baby [...]

More, Please

If the state’s schools, law enforcement and entire social structure are at risk now because $700 million of new, unanticipated federal largess won’t be available, what was gonna happen if no Obama Bucks came down from on high?

From Pork Fever To Swine Flu

As heat mounts against the Peolosi administration for the 9,000 earmark strong “stimulus” package, along comes swine flu.

Weighing In On Sanford’s Stand

Depending on who you listen to, South Carolina Govern0r Mark Sanford is either a saint or a dipstick for trying to channel federal “stimulus” funds to pay down debt rather than spending them for temporary fixes.

A Situation Most Curious

If these guys want to run from Sanford, so be it. But when they do, they’ll likely find no track on which they can rely.

That’s Gotta Hurt!

Sometimes in politics, you can bookmark an event or comment as a game changer. THIS may well be a slug to the heart of Barrett’s campaign for governor.

Beverage of Choice

It was cool to watch (limited) coverage of a protest that didn’t include chants about how bad America is. But here’s a thought… with all these “constituents” gathered to express their opinions about government, who was NOT there?

$tatu$ Quo

In all the hoo-ha over the “stimulus” money and whether states should take any or all of it and the consequences versus the advantages, there’s a pretty simple question that isn’t being asked.

“Why is Congress doing this?”

The Definition of a Conservative

The very essence of modern conservatism is a losing spirit. By definition, a conservative is someone who wants to “preserve” something. If you are a conservative, you are part of a group of people that could be viewed as some kind of historian fan club, reminisicing about the good old days. Socially and culturally I [...]

Zo for RNC Chair

With the power to smack down the Democrats Lite in the Party.
(Just lighten up on the embryonic stem cell equivelency, Dude.)

Shocking Secret Revealed!

Only now, when Sanford is challenging the wisdom of the stimulus and the constitutionality of its distribution are we being told the truth.

I Get It!

I get Mark Sanford’s politics. Most don’t, but then, most aren’t The Spy.

Why So Afraid?

What the Left cannot fathom is that someone would actually have principles and, heaven forfend! – act according to those principles.

I Want An Oompa Loompa Now!

The State’s Warren Bolten sounds like Veruca Salt in the Willie Wonka movies.
Bolten-Salt’s “I want it NOW!” is yet another way to express SC Democratic Chair Carol Fowler’s eloquent and economically “stimulating” rant to Governor Mark Sanford – “take the money.”
