Santorum scores!

leave a comment »

Even though he’s no longer a presidential candidate,  Rick Santorum has done good work for conservative views  in getting Jay Leno,  an ObamaCare-loving liberal,  to  admit he doesn’t want  the government running the Tonight show.

Don’t you feel safe?

Apparently running a prostitution ring  may be sufficient  for a federal employee,  a TSA manager no less, to lose his job.

$1 trillion in student loans…

leave a comment »

Yep,  that amount is  about 16% higher than the New York Fed estimated earlier this year.   Doesn’t that give you oodles of confidence in the Federal Reserve in particular and the federal government in general?

Double standards…

leave a comment »

That’s one of the few things the Obama Administration is actually quite competent at.  ABC’s Jake Tapper does a  masterful job in exposing  His Oneness for praising journalists who expose abuses abroad,  while punishing those who attempt to reveal the abuses of Obama’s government.

Consumer trust…

leave a comment »

Congratulations,  people  –  most of you are smart enough  to be concerned  about online privacy,  and won’t do business with a company which doesn’t pay attention to it.   One of the beauties of capitalism is that it allows individual consumers to punish or reward businesses.  That’s also why liberals and progressives love government  —  the individual can’t punish poorly run governments or agencies by withholding their spending power.

HomeSec spying…

You all need to keep an eye  on the hearing scheduled  for next week on Homeland Security monitoring the web for  ”anti-government sentiment and signs of social unrest”.    Thanks to The Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC)  for pushing for the hearing.

Fixing capitalism…

leave a comment »

This is what  liberal journalists believe.   How do I know David Rothkopf is liberal?  Because he omits any mention of the crony capitalism His Oneness likes, or of the corrupt form which uses the forced dues of government employees to enrich the unions which support Democrats to form and maintain a viscous circle.   He believes that business has too much power, and even acknowledges that business has acquired power from government,  but he thinks the solution is for government to take back that power.  How typical of the progressive mind!

The solution is to  reduce the power of government so that it has less to bestow on business.  The power of the people in the marketplace works then,  which is why liberals and progressives work so tirelessly to expand government.  They hate capitalism which they can’t control,  and if they do control it,  it isn’t capitalism.

By the way,  I just went to  Wikipedia to look up  Mr. Rothkopf,  and sure enough,  the author went to the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism and is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.   Liberal to the max…

Bridge-building…

This column about  the new San Francisco/Oakland Bay bridge is why I loathe politicians,  and why I don’t trust government at any level.

I voted and suggested  – did you?   Even if you didn’t,  go check out the site.   Citizen patriots have identified $9 trillion in spending cuts.
