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.

Independence Day 2009

In less than three months, we celebrate our nation’s independence. It’s a day traditionally for cookouts, parades, bunting, fireworks and speeches. This year, I believe we should make it about INDEPENDENCE! We need to activate all those tea partiers for INDEPENDENCE DAY 2009! A national citizen-based demand for freedom from the gathering tyranny emanating from Washington.

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?”

Why So Afraid?

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

Has our foreign policy over the past 100 years been wrong?

Ron Paul thinks it is possible and after a lot of reading the past 5+ years I agree with him.

The Return of Rightwing Paranoia

Anthony Gregory points out that conservatives now oppose the state despite Obama enacting Bush-like policies. Most importantly, conservatives must learn to oppose aggressive foreign policy during this era that they are out of power, less they make the same mistakes as last time.
The conservatives [...]

Michele Bachmann: 5 Questions

Representative Michele Bachmann of Minnesota has become an outspoken – and occasionally controversial – Conservative voice in the House of Representatives since her first term began in 2007.  A frequent guest on a variety of news and commentary programs on radio and television, Rep. Bachmann was kind enough to answer “Five Questions For Michele Bachmann.”

The chorus against John McCain’s current running mate chants louder and with more intensity

First it was Kathleen Parker, a conservative syndicated columnist, who said out loud that “John McCain’s current running mate” must go. What she stated about her was dead on. She makes a strong argument in her defense but concludes with this.
What to do?
McCain can’t repudiate his choice for running mate. He not only risks the [...]

Common Sense in the Financial Market

One of the biggest problem with this rushed-through bailout plan (other than the fact it will give us a fully socialized financial sector and turn our grandchildren into financial slaves to the State), is that it’s formulated by the idiots that got us into this mess.  I found a posting about a letter from someone [...]

The Unraveling of John McCain

Barack Obama showed what it means to lead and John McCain showed what it means to lack leadership. What is beautiful about this bailout negotiation is that it gave us a glimpse of what an Obama Presidency will look like and, God forbid, what a McCain Presidency will look like, Rep. Barney Frank put it [...]

A Time To Choose

I pointed out earlier today that we have to choose between the free market and government nationalization of the economy. Today Michael Rozeff wrote an article saying that exact same thing. I was looking through it a moment ago and I think he describes our situation insightfully:
This is a time [...]

Cause and Effect

We are witnessing the results of Greenspan and Bernanke’s Fed policies as well as all the horrible legislation and regulations passed from 1980 to 2006. We are in the midst of a recession and it is the fault of these people:

Bernanke
Greenspan
Bush I
Bush II
Reagan
Clinton

If any one of those people had freedom and liberty as their priorities [...]

Mexican Scientists: GLobal Cooling and a “Mini Ice Age” are coming

It looks like the era of global warming is over and the new era of global cooling will begin.
An expert from the National Autonomous University of Mexico predicted that in about ten years the Earth will enter a “little ice age” which will last from 60 to 80 years and may be caused by the [...]

Speaker Nancy Pelosi pens memoir of being the first female House Speaker

Nancy Pelosi has written a memoir, Know Your Power: A Message to America’s Daughters, of being elected the first female House Speaker and how all this came into being. It is a proud moment when she was elevated to House Speaker not only because she is the first female to be elected to this prestigious, [...]

Nationalizing the oil industry — why fight it?

There’s no reason for the true capitalists to oppose nationalizing the industry at this point. The oil and gas industries are already regulated to a “T”, there isn’t much more for government to do other than flat out nationalization.
Is socialism the answer to fascism? No. They’re both collectivist and “socialist” in nature.
Those of us who [...]

Dishonest Abe, Secession, and the destruction of the American Republic

Victors always write history. We believe, without question, that the United States was correct in its war against Britain, against Mexico, against Spain, and against Germany in World Wars I and II. While most people do not feel very passionate about the major wars I just listed (WWII aside), there is one in American history [...]

Maxine Waters Can’t Say Socialism

Socializing the oil industry is what Maxine Waters really wants but can’t say it because most Americans are opposed to such nonsense! To trick the American people into socializing an industry requires a mass propaganda campaign–you can’t say the word socialism, either, because that would let the cat out of the bag and make Americans [...]

The Constitutional Authority for Standing Armies?

Giving the President the power to wage war is as anti-American Revolution as you can possibly get. One of the very reasons our Founders decided against a monarchy and opted for a Republic is because the people should decide if they wish to go to war, not the King. By giving our Presidents the power [...]

Economic ignorance at every turn

America has simultaneously been the most economically ignorant and the most capitalistic country in modern times. For over a hundred years after the founding of the country, our laissez-faire policies allowed for massive economic growth, capital saving, and wealth creation. This lack of restrictions on wealth-creating allowed for the massive capital saving that took place [...]
