Claire McCaskill gets it

Re: the “manufactured health care mob” Claire McCaskill seems to get it (via twitter), even though most of her party doesn’t. It gets pretty interesting when the politicians of a representative republic lose their way or perhaps intentionally stop listening to those who elected them.
I try to keep the political posting here to [...]

Spector becomes a Democrat – again

Anyone surprised that Arlen Spector would switch political party, yet again to win an election?
Personally, I’d rather see the Dems hold 90 seats in the Senate than keep just one of these so called moderates. Now, lets go chase out the rest of the pollution.
And as naive as it sounds, if you have no [...]

John Adams understood the rich could be victimized

It is agreed that “the end of all government is the good and ease of the people, in a secure enjoyment of their rights, without oppression;” but it must be remembered, that the rich are people as well as the poor; that they have rights as well as others; that they have as clear and [...]

A boy and his dog

I couldn’t help but post this. Yes I know it’s all over the internet, but having grown up with a pit bull (mix) before folks starting wiggin’ out about them, it sort a strikes close to home.
I wasn’t as young as this little boy, maybe 10 when we got Tasha, my sister was pretty young [...]

The demise of Capitalism

When one considers the spectacular success, the unprecedented prosperity, that capitalism has achieved in practice (even with hampering controls) — and when one considers the dismal failure of every variety of collectivism — it should be clear that the enemies of capitalism are not motivated, at the root, by economic considerations.  They are motivated by [...]

There were days when I thought this election would never end, but fortunately, time marches on and the end has in fact come. I try to keep the political posting to a minimum around here, but a few leaked out recently, so I figured it’s worth a wrap up. I’ll keep it short.
This past elections [...]

Spreading the wealth

As the election draws closer, I’m just overflowing with too many thoughts to keep to myself.  Those who’ve read this blog for awhile know that I’m a huge Ayn Rand fan.  I was introduced Anthem at a young age and have been hooked ever since.  It’s funny (not really) how the more things change, the [...]

White House for sale

I’ve been steering clear of political postings for awhile now, but occasionally, something’s gotta give.  There just doesn’t seem much to be proud of these days and recently reported fund raising numbers from the Obama campaign struck home.
Yeah, he’s different alright –he’s personally taken the political machine to an entirely new level.  It no longer [...]

George Carlin on Saving the Planet

Ever contemplated your position in life? Wrestled with ones overall impact on the planet or better yet, the universe? I think George Carlin, may he rest in peace, sums it up about as well as anyone could. And though we come at things from very two different perspectives, I’ll miss his often spot [...]

Obama’s done for…

It’s just my opinion, but after months of the “yes we can” silliness, it seems the honeymoon with Obama is about over. This Rev. Wright and Rezko thing just may be the one-two punch that’s hard to get up from. Certainly the Clinton’s won’t miss an opportunity to point out Obama’s ongoing lapse [...]
