… savings, own a home, secure their retirement. Now, in the midst of this debate, there are some who seem to be suffering from a kind of collective amnesia. After all that’s happened, after the worst economic crisis, the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, they want to return to the same practices that got us into this mess. In fact, they want to go back to the same policies that stacked the deck against middle-class Americans for w…
…l core” of the union. Based on this Supreme Court ruling, any member of any union in the country can go “Financial Core.” All it requires is that they write a one sentence letter to their union stating that they have elected Financial Core membership. A “Financial Core” member of any union is still covered by all union benefits such as pension, health and welfare. They can then work on all union and non-union movies without being subject to any …
… seemed on the superficial level to offer continuity, it was actually an ideological reversal, back to the Liberal wing of the Republican Party. Though he lambasted his opponent Michael Dukakis, tarring him with the “Liberal” label, which Reaganism had turned into a dirty word, Bush himself was every bit a Progressive. His admitted trouble with “the vision thing” prevented him from continuing with Reagan’s unfinished work: shrinking government, e…
…rdless of which affiliation a person feels a closer association with knows these facts as well as I do. It’s a political game of tennis with both sides lobbing the ball to and fro in order to serve those who afforded them the financial wherewithal to maintain their economic status. Having said all that, I now want to give my perspective as to the current issue of health care reform. In recent history I have spent some time listening intently to t…
… the governments plan, and we all will be sooner or later, you will be given a little device called “A Beneficiary Identification Card.” This card is like an ATM card on steroids. It will contain your complete, updated daily, financial and medical records. You must use this card each time you go to the doctor or seek medical attention. The government’s medical administrator will determine, after reviewing your financial and medical profile, if yo…
The White House struck back Tuesday at former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, saying more people in America are on food stamps under President Obama because of policies promoted by Mr. Gingrich and other Republican leaders. “This country is emerging from the worst recession since the Great Depression, the greatest economic and financial crisis of our lifetimes,” said presidential spokesman Jay Carney. “The economic policies that helped create that …
… 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 …
…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”.

F. A. Hayek “Why I Am Not a Conservative” By Nobel laureate F. A. Hayek. “At all times sincere friends of freedom have been rare, and its triumphs have been due to minorities, that have prevailed by associating themselves with auxiliaries whose objects often differed from their own; and this association, which is always dangerous, has sometimes been disastrous, by giving to opponents just grounds of opposition.” – Lord Acton Th…
…e really wants to spin that roulette wheel. Ohio is facing Issues 2 and 3. Issue 2 seems to be the biggest and appears that the entire country is watching this one. From what I gather, in an attempt to get control of Ohio’s financial situation, SB5 has been drafted by the House. The entire Bill appears to be about 304 pages, but I think the main purpose of the Bill is to make public employees responsible for a fair and equal share of their ben…
