It turns out that left wingers really do believe in unicorns. Even in France.
François Hollande has defeated Nicolas Sarkozy in the French Presidential election. Honestly, sometimes it’s not easy to take the French people seriously. Hollande made a number of campaign promises, including Continue reading

When President Barack Hussein Obama tells you that “America is going back to work” he is lying. Additionally, the MSM is not telling the truth about unemployment. Continue reading

Yesterday Obama released the creepy slideshow “The Life of Julia” in which they depict how a female is taken care of from cradle to grave by the taxpayer. It’s a perfect example of the welfare state that is bankrupting this country. In the utopian world of Julia she gets money for college, for her medical bills, she gets to sue her employer for more money, she gets free contraception, loans for a business, and then some retirement money until she dies. Somehow Obama believes we will have the money for all that for the next 80 years. Continue reading

Bill Whittle over at Pajamas Media had a great piece in his Afterburner segment this week. Calling statistician William M. Briggs’ “The love of theory is the root of all evil” “The Best Sentence Ever”, Whittle discusses how the love of the theory of Communism caused the deaths of well over 100,000 million people during the 20th century. The crux of his piece is that liberals, living in their world of theory and planning have no clue how the world actually works. Continue reading

While our president crusades with his unrealistic plan to tax the rich in order to pay for his profligate spending and bring the country back to what now seems like a Capitalist pipe dream of Utopia, the elusive pre-Obama economy. Obama Elites, who are rich, but don’t seem to pay taxes or worry about them, agree with the old Marxist parable, “tax the rich to spread the wealth around,” at least, as long as no one dips into their private accounts. If Obama stays in power, their money is safe, that’s the way his system works. While the public frets over wether Obama is a Statist or a Marxist, because he keeps trying to make the old failed Marxist principles work. Apparently, the Marxists of history didn’t understand how to run a Statist economy or so Obama must reason to keep from being collectively diagnosed as a psychotic, by doing the same experiment repeatedly and expecting a different result.

We’ve got a federal debt problem, and our political leaders are not taking it seriously. Granted, Paul Ryan was ready to step up and give us a budget that will eventually get us back on the path to fiscal solvency, but even his suggestions were promptly scorched by our president, whose own budget proposal was such an excellent idea that it got rejected unanimously by the Democrat controlled Senate. One of the biggest problems with getting any kind of spending reforms in Washington is that to most people the federal debt is some distant issue, or worse, something that can and should be paid by somebody else. I want to change that. Continue reading

The Tea Party and Libertarians have been fighting Crony Capitalism for at least 3 years now. Some even longer. It’s not that Tea Party/Libertarian leaning people want others to be taxed at a higher rate or be regulated out of existence. It’s the influence of Crony Capitalism on policy and uses of elected officials to gain advantages single voters have no chance of getting that is the difference. Let us face facts, who is a politician going to be most influenced by: Continue reading

Illinois offers us a perfect example of what happens when you institute liberal policies, as Obama has done to the entire country:
After trying to tax Illinois to governmental solvency and economic dynamism, Pat Quinn, a Democrat who has been governor since 2009, now says “our rendezvous with reality has arrived.” Actually, Illinois is still reality-averse, so Americans may soon learn the importance of the freedom to fail in a system of competitive federalism.

Runaway spending is causing our doom, so why not spend a bit more. This time to pander to the youth in our country:
Obama told the students that since they were born, tuition and fees at colleges have doubled.
“And that forces students like you to take on a lot more loans, there are fewer grants, you rack up a lot more debt,” Obama stated.
“Can I get an Amen for that?” he asked the crowd who cheered, “AMEN!”
