Tweet Paul Krugman is a Nobel Prize winning economist. He’s also remarkably ignorant (or stupid or, maybe, both). Only someone lacking in brains and understanding would think that the U.S. could get out of its debt problem, not by printing paper money, but by minting a platinum coin and then denominating it a “$1 trillion [...]

Tweet There’s nothing I enjoy more than seeing someone slice and dice Paul Krugman’s latest idiocies. Randall Hoven does a magnificent job. The only sad thing about it is that he’s preaching to the choir. The ones who really should read his article — namely, the ones who think Krugman is actually smart and honest [...]

Tweet There are two thinkers on the Left whom I credit with helping me become more conservative: Paul Krugman and Andrew Sullivan. Both of them wrote (and still write) incredible horse pucky in publications I routinely read as a yuppie liberal. I eventually realized that, if these two were lauded as the shining intellectual lights [...]

Tweet My purpose in writing this post is to reveal and challenge the Leftist thought bubble in which Barack Obama lives. Before I get to that point, however, I want to give you a little look at the on-the-ground effects that bubble has on those who are exposed only to Leftist thought. At American Thinker, [...]

Tweet Paul Krugman, who has been cheering the occupying army within a short walk of his own office, somehow hasn’t managed to show up and support them in person. A couple of days ago (and I don’t know how I could have missed this!) he explained why. I’ve offered translations in square brackets, to help [...]

Tweet The increasing disconnect between reality and Paul Krugman’s New York Times opinion articles was one of the things that led me to examine conservativism more closely. In addition to disliking Krugman’s ideas, I’ve come to dislike Krugman himself, as his anger, embittered, accusatory, demonizing style is the antithesis of reasoned thinking and argument. Peter [...]

Tweet Paul Krugman has a bully pulpit in the New York Times. Its numbers may be declining under Pinch’s overlordship, but it still remains “the paper of record” to a lot of people with their hands in or near the power trough. Paul Krugman’s readers respect him because (a) he holds their elitist Left outlook [...]

Tweet Paul Krugman is shocked! shocked! (albeit not surprised) that Republicans are exhibiting a certain amount of Schadenfreude when it comes to the rebuff the IOC delivered to Barack Obama: So what did we learn from this moment? For one thing, we learned that the modern conservative movement, which dominates the modern Republican Party, has [...]
