Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Many of Obama’s most educated supporters believe in him because they believe in Keynesian economics. Central to that belief is the theory that government itself can be an economic engine. If people aren’t working, have them work for the government or at least have the government fund their ostensibly “private
Continue readingAnother American Crossroads ad in a James Bond style, this one attacking Obama’s inflationary policies: It’s clever, funny, and understandable, so please consider sharing it with others. The election clock is ticking, and it’s up to citizens to counter the media’s all-out push for Obama.
Continue readingTrust Thomas Sowell to explain why government-forced redistribution always fails, and to do so in language so clear even a child educated in public schools can understand: You can confiscate only the wealth that exists at a given moment. You cannot confiscate future wealth — and that future wealth is
Continue readingThe Romney campaign looked at he numbers. Will the Obama Media be able to hide this from the American people? 23,136,000: The Number Of Americans Who Are Unemployed, Underemployed, Or Have Stopped Looking For Work. (Bureau Of Labor Statistics, Accessed 9/7/12) 12,544,000: The Number Of Unemployed Workers. (Bureau Of Labor

Continue readingThe first video has Andrew Klavan explaining Obamanomics. The second video shows Obamanomics in action. The first video is funny and depressing; the second video startled a nervous giggle out of me, but mostly made me deeply fearful for our future: UPDATE: I need to add another video to this
Continue readingHat tip: Gateway Pundit, who has more details about the deficit and the Democrats’ role in creating it. If you have a Facebook or Twitter account, or write or contribute to a blog, please share this video. It’s damning.
Continue readingDanny Lemieux left a link to this video in the comments. I think it deserves its own post. You might also want to share it with your friends. It’s studiously non-partisan, so one hopes it will make liberals thoughtful, rather than defensive. Incidentally, if any of your liberal friends think
Continue readingI met a semi-retired petroleum engineer in Alberta that was working on the Canadian tar sands development. I asked him what he had heard regarding the size of the Bakken oil field. He indicated that, pessimistically, it contained 1x the reserves of Saudi Arabia, while the optimistic projection was 3x the Saudi oil reserves.
Continue readingA few days ago, I challenged at HuffPo post that saw a die-hard Progressive repeat economic talking points that have proven, rather consistently, to be failures in the real world. I wish that, when I wrote that, I’d already read More Evidence On What Is Holding the Economy Back, at
Continue readingI’ve heard and probably posted this story several times before (and it may originate with Arthur Brooks), but I liked the five points tacked on at the end so much, I’m sharing the whole thing with you once again: An economics professor at a local college made a statement that
Continue readingMy local Marin paper recently ran a story that showed paralyzing stupidity on the part of both a bank and an individual couple. The law favors the bank, which was insanely greedy and stupid, so Occupy Marin is stepping up to help the couple, which was also insanely greedy and
Continue readingThe Huffington Post is one of the ugliest websites I’ve ever seen. I’m not talking about content (although I’ll get to that), but about its layout. The left-most column (and that turns out to be a very clever pun on my part) actually has some visual stability, insofar as it
Continue readingABC reports that President Obama treated two service men and two local barbers to a high-fat Father’s Day lunch (high-fat, at least, for Obama), and then left without paying the tab: Amid the bustle of President Obama’s surprise stop for barbecue Wednesday the White House apparently overlooked one key detail:
Continue readingI have been following with interest the running comment thread on my post asking about whether electric cars are actually cleaner, or if they just shift pollution outside of the consumer’s view. Very quickly, and probably inevitably, the post shifted to a cost-benefit analysis, which aimed to compare fossil fuel
