…7;s opinions, including the notion that that free market capitalism does not work in today’s technically advanced, global commerce reality. The only answer, in their view, is a centrally planned, government-directed economy. We are now all wards of the state, unable to steer our own destiny and incapable of surviving on our intellect, talent and merits. We must be protected and provided for by a benevolent government with virtually un…
…of the Obama Coalition”, Thomas Edsall, by pushing “takers” into a non-working, entitlement, nanny state, socialistic philosophical ideology. 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”.

…ant terrorists, alleged or otherwise, living on the continental United States. Even with these Executive Orders, Obama has not even begun his widespread change. This is coming. It will be to convert the Republican free market economy into European style socialism. Three months ago conservative pundits were using this fear almost as a passing reference, but now the reality of it is beginning to set in. Dick Morris, in an article that can be found …

For the left, the symbolism of seeing the rich’s tax rates going up is more important than if it benefits the economy. The GOP plan has yet to be fully explored so we don’t know what is in it but one has to understand that CBO scoring is problematic since it underestimates the stimulus of lower marginal tax rates so who knows whethe…
Last Saturday morning, I had the privilege of attending the official commissioning ceremony of the USS Stockdale, a new destroyer named after deceased Admiral Jim Stockdale, a Vietnam War hero and POW that endured torture because of his refusal to capitulate to his captors. This article is going to be relatively short, but I want to say a few words about the pageantry and patriotism of the men and women serving in our Armed Forces, in this cas…
…ngle. I must say that I’ve seen more creatures that I never new existed during this adventure; all of them creepy and crawly. But now we have a break for the first time in four weeks and I am ready to start thinking about the economy and politics again.
