Labor Day Redux: Union Thugs Respond
I’ve come under some fire from a few union lackeys over my Labor Day post — teamsters who have contacted me to tell me how misguided my closing lines actually are. You see, in describing unions as having a long history of hatred and violence toward non-union members like me, I’m accused of being “unfair.”…
The Man Without A Plan
I thought the following was exceptionally accurate. From ex-liberal Roger Simon: President Obama’s been taking a lot of flak lately for not having a plan. First it was about Libya, but now — even more importantly because, as we know, all politics is local (until it’s not) — about the budget. The latest White House…
Rick Santelli: “Bring it On … If Not Now, When?”
Rick Santelli, who is largely credited with starting the tea part back in the old days before the tea party had lost its teeth, is something of a hero. Here’s his unforgettable — and inarguable — salvo against Barack Obama’s explicit call to “fundamentally change America”: Now he has this: RICK SANTELLI: You don’t compromise…
Barack Obama Thinks It’s Funny That His Shovel-Ready Stimulus Has Failed
In North Carolina yesterday, meeting with the Council on Jobs and Competiveness, Barack Obama was questioned about the fact that government bureaucracy invariably delays projects and even oftentimes puts a stop to them altogether, to which Obama jokingly replied: “Shovel-ready was not as — uh — shovel-ready as we expected.” This clever remark got some…
Labor Unions And Their Communist Allies
As I’ve long said: labor unions and communism go together like white wine and fish. Anonymous photo journalist Zombie recently confirmed that. The following photos were captured by Zombie on May 5, 2011, at the May Day rally in downtown Los Angeles. This event was co-sponsored by the SEIU — a gigantic socialist labor organization…
Barack Obama In His Own Words
“[My grandmother] is a typical white person.” — Nobel Peace Prize Winner Barack Obama, 2008 Now that the American military has at long last killed Osama bin Laden, Obama’s sagging approval ratings have jumped some six points. Obama is riding pretty high, and so I think it’s important to remind folks once again who this…
Obama Suddenly Envisions An America Where “We Live Within Our Means”
After adding more to America’s national debt in his first 19 months than all presidents from Washington through Reagan combined, Barack Obama on Wednesday, April 14th, 2011, in a nationally televised speech, said the following: “This is my vision for America: A vision where we live within our means while still investing in our future”…
Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick Wishes America Wasn’t A Free Country
Pretty hard to equivocate this one, no matter how liberal your viewpoint. Here’s the Governor’s exact words: “It’s a free country. I wish it weren’t, but . . . it’s a free country. You know, you got to, you got to respect that freedom.” Deval Patrick said this on the “Jim & Margery Show” (WTKK-FM,…
Will Washington’s Failures Lead To Second American Revolution? — By Ernest S. Christian and Gary A. Robbins
You say you want a revolution? Well, just recently the following article appeared in Investors Business Daily. I reproduce it here in full because America is currently under the thumb of people like this: From Investors Business Daily: The Internet is a large-scale version of the “Committees of Correspondence” that led to the first American…
Franklin Delano Roosevelt And Barack Obama
Franklin Delano Roosevelt is, along with Abraham Lincoln, one of Barack Obama’s heroes, as Barack Obama is among the first to point out. Accordingly, Obama is pursuing a number of the same disastrous economic policies that Franklin Roosevelt pursued, which policies only served to keep the United States depressed for years. Yes, the truth about…
The Green Jobs Racket Exposed (Again)
Here’s an economic axiom which we’ve discussed here before, but which in this day and age is always worth repeating: If something is economically tenable, it never ever needs to be subsidized. The latest concretization of this fact comes from none other than the state-run Associated Press: After a year of crippling delays, President Barack…

Bush, Social Security spending went from $406 billion to $662 billion. Under President George W. Bush, Medicare spending went from $216 billion to $425 billion. Under under President…
