Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Yesterday I wrote a long post about the fact that the abortion debate, at least on the pro-choice side, ignores social and medical advances that should make it a very different debate from the one that led to Roe v. Wade. I think this is an important conversation, because of
Continue readingJust in case he actually runs for office, the Leftist media is already planning one line of attack against Glenn Beck. They’re thinking that they can nail him on taxes, just as he went after so many Democrats who were found, wittingly or not, to have underpaid their taxes: No
Continue readingI don’t know if it’s a local, state or federal tax, but when I go into a restaurant that provides both eat-in and take-out services, I always order take-out, regardless of whether I plan to sit at one of their tables or hit the road. Why? Because the government imposes
Continue readingYes, it is old news now that Tim Geithner and a whole lot of other Obama officials forgot to pay their taxes. Nevertheless, when I heard this monologue that Steve Martin did on Saturday Night Live back in 1977, I just had to include it here. It’s perfect: You .
Continue readingThe UC regents voted for a steep increase in tuition. Some have pointed to the unedifying spectacle of whining middle class students taking to the streets to protest the tuition increase, since they prefer to have California’s working class, most of whom will not attend the school, bear the financial
Continue readingThe Daily Mail has the data to prove what we all knew: a political party that shifts the tax burden to less than 50% of the population, while leaving more than half the population dependent on government largesse, wins in perpetuity (or until the country implodes, whichever comes first).
Continue readingThe Marin IJ reports that almost $3,000,000 in stimulus money Americans will help the public school district in Ross, California: Ross School has won the federal stimulus fund lottery. School officials learned Friday they would receive a $2.85 million school construction bond tax credit as part of the federal stimulus
Continue readingWith his typical clarity, Karl Rove explains that it is impossible for President Obama to stick to his “no new taxes” promises if he continues on this ruinous path of government spending: The campaign team is intent upon protecting a pledge driven by its 2008 campaign polls: Mr. Obama promised
Continue readingFrom the Wall Street Journal: Democrats already plan to repeal the Bush tax cuts, but that won’t raise enough money. So they’re proposing an income tax surcharge on “the wealthy,” but that won’t raise enough either. Democrats have no choice but to soak the middle class because only they have
Continue readingIn just three paragraphs, Charles Krauthammar explains all of the problems with the health care reform the President so desperately wants passed by August: President Obama premised the need for reform on the claim that medical costs are destroying the economy. True. But now we learn — surprise! — that
Continue readingDo you remember the words in my post title? I sure do, and I wasn’t even very politically aware then. That was George Bush, Sr., making a promise to the American people: “Read my lips: No new taxes.” He broke that promise. It looks as if Barack Obama is readying
Continue readingThe cat’s out of the bag now, and it’s clear that the Democrats and Obama are planning on destroying small businesses in America. This is no surprise, of course, given that small business — entrepreneurship, independence and individualism — is the antithesis of a government run marketplace: In the middle
Continue readingIn his most recent article at the Wall Street Journal, Karl Rove explains in great detail how Barack Obama told quite obvious lies about the stimulus numbers, only to pretend now that he didn’t really mean what he said. (That’s the lying pattern I’ve told you about.) The American people

Continue readingIt’s not just the video that’s good, it’s John Hindraker’s comment about Obama’s tax policies: I think President Obama’s worst weakness is that he is ignorant, not only of economics as an academic discipline, but of business as it is commonly experienced and understood by those in the private sector.
