The biggest success of the Spending Bill”, oops “Stimulus Bill,” is ending. Yup, that is right; “Cash for Clunkers” is going away on Monday. Why? Because it was such a big success, the government ran out of money for the program not once, but twice. This time President Obama is shutting it down. No more money. It is finished. The official spin is that is brought the automobile industry back from destruction. Or, did it? In my opinion, it is just…

…ugh I appreciate Senator Santorum’s commitment to life issues and respect his knowledge of foreign policy, he still strikes me as a sophomore sneaking into the Senior Prom wearing his dad’s tuxedo. The moment as yet seems too big for him. From the standpoint of this spectator, the proxy battle between opposing wings of the GOP pits one flawed candidate against another in an ugly cage match which is doing nothing to elucidate how each might govern…

…f families who want to buy a home or send their kids to college. Now, we’re not all the way there yet, and the banks are fighting us every inch of the way. But already, some of these reforms are being implemented. If you’re a big bank or risky financial institution, you now have to write out a “living will” that details exactly how you’ll pay the bills if you fail, so that taxpayers are never again on the hook for Wall Street’s mistakes.

… it is obvious that there is a fundamental change going on here. We win the south, Midwest and what are substantially rural, working class areas. Where do the Democrats run strongest? In areas that contain intellectualism and big business. What have we done and why has our base completely changed to this portion of the populace? And, more importantly, how can we get the Reagan Democrats and intellectuals back? For my whole life I always believed …

…iling allowed American Airlines to achieve rollbacks with the unions that many thought were impossible. This is what is driving the proposed bailout today. The unions lose in bankruptcy court almost every time. And, they lose big. Do you think the newly elected Democratic Congress can permit their strongest allies to go down? No way! If the UAW and affiliated unions get beat down as a result of these proposed bankruptcies, the Democratic Congress…

…ay from us. And, in these times of economic and worldwide political turmoil, we should not be lowering the defense budget. I received this anecdote from a reader in Missouri. I think it is very apropos for this current era of big government and socialism: Catching Wild Pigs A chemistry professor in a large college had some exchange students in the class. One day while the class was in the lab the Professor noticed one young man (exchange student)…

The best news to come out of Washington this week was not Pres. Obama canceling his Hawaiian vacation so he could stay in Washington and pretend to do his job. It was not the comic relief provided by John Corzine testifying that Joe Biden’s idea of a financial genius had no idea where 1.2 billion investor dollars had gone. It was not even the indictment by the SEC of six Fanny and Freddy freeloaders. No, the big, big, BIG news that should inspi…

…op.com/blog/2010/03/23/health-care-reform-are-you-a-winner-or-a-loser/ It appears now that the mid-term elections in November will be the real litmus test for “We the people”. The Democrats publicly think November will be no big deal. They feel they will lose some seats but keep the majority. Maybe. All I know is here in California, Barbara Boxer, normally a shoe in for re-election is now dead even with her Republican adversary. Is it a sign of …

Republicanism is not lost but it is certainly a candidate for a “Progressive Lite” label….or what as “Congress is Useless” all about? http://www.hollywoodrepublican.net/2011/11/congress-is-useless/ And all that is supported in academia today is under the myth of “academic freedom”.

… of these circumstances, the use of the word hero is trivialized. A deeper problem is that ides of myth, legend and story hold a society’s culture together. The concept of the hero is central to these. By misapplying the hero label and refraining from using it when needed takes our culture in the wrong direction. I hope we can recover the sense of propriety about who we call a hero and what they did to be considered brave before it’s too late. A …
