…upport education has encouraged them to depend on the Federal government and look to it for revenue. It also makes it much easier for the Federal government to dictate to the States in areas of regulation of schools. Social Welfare. It began with the passage of the Social Security act in the 1930s, but has grown to include Medicare, Medicaid, and Aid to Families With Dependent Children, commonly known as “welfare”.

…am F. Buckley, Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan is highly questionable, and his mercurial and volcanic temperament is off-putting in a way that Reagan at his most irate never was. Gingrich’s Grinchy persona while negotiating Welfare Reform with the Clinton White House was a heavy impetus for G. W. Bush to repackage Conservatism as “compassionate.” That smiley face wrecked havoc on the federal budget, but the question remains, can a Conservative …

…y goes something like this, Frank and I are nothing but mind numb robots or we should automatically accept their reason for they are so smart and we are so dumb. In a piece on Europe, I noted that the Euro is threatened, the welfare state collapsing, and that Europe has the choice of even more central planning to keep the Euro alive or start the retreat from the Euro. One critic responded I did not know anything about Europe and I needed to rea…

…or the NPR story were actually very happy to pay these high taxes because of all the benefits they received. A Danish economist and university professor was interviewed who said that, on the whole, the Danish system of social welfare allows employers to be very agile in terms of hiring and firing. Employees can be let go (and rehired) very easily, but with generous unemployment benefits, they usually don’t worry about income. The only downside he…

… the bloated, unwieldy and corrupt mechanism “to advance Conservative principles.” That may be all the Tories in Britain can do, because long ago they crossed the event horizon into the black hole of the Socialist welfare state.

The world lost one of its great leaders when Czech Republic leader Vaclav Havel died but after his death, a few on the left could not contain themselves. One leftist, Neil Clark, claimed, “Havel did not help make his country and the world a better place.” Clark goes on to note that Havel’s critique against the old regime did not account for previous communist regime accomplishment in the fields of employment, general welfare including women ri…

… 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 …
