the man with the plan

A Great Blessing It is indeed wonderful that the “occupy” protests have prompted such an inspiring association of sharp minds and great experience – all united in the common purpose of finding solutions to our current state of decay (although were Soetoro to be reelected it would more likely be an academic exercise only – essentially a necropsy.)   But... Read More

you go girl!

Thank you! Finally someone proposing a simple straightforward solution! OK – you probably figured out I was kidding.  Seriously, what planet is she from (or what plant extract she relies on for reality distortion.)  A couple questions for her: “more than a trillion”…..precisely how much do you propose would be adequately bold? how many zeroes are in “a... Read More

Timmy wasn’t fired??!!

Soetoro’s Strategy we’ve got Janet’s jackbooted thought police running wild – and now we’ve got the SS too.  OK, maybe it’s Axelrod’s (perhaps an appropriate SS reference based on his striking visual similarity to an infamous fellow from generations past) but regardless of its providence it is unsurprisingly twisted.  (Kind of like Canadian... Read More

NPS & FDR

I love our National Parks.  A visitor to many of the sites can share the feeling of wonder which Teddy Roosevelt valued – both as a man and as an individual seeking a refuge from the fish bowl of DC (who recognized the corrosive and damaging influence of the environment which brings leader after leader to the false conclusion that they are somehow “more important.”) The... Read More

withholding subjugation

Citizens of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts last November demonstrated collective symptoms of Stockholm Syndrome.  (It can’t possibly be that the political descendants of Sam Adams could have complied of free will!)  Offered the opportunity to abolish the state income tax (a similar effort had failed by a very small margin just a few years before) they instead opted to... Read More

multiplier magic

One advantage of COWOBAMA’s preoccupation with preserving his legacy amidst the smoke trailing from his wounded health care jet is that time spent expounding upon other rubbish is limited.  Case in point – remember the multiplier? We were told that a single dollar of government spending would create a positive impact many times greater than the amount borrowed, taxed... Read More

Audacity of hope

So have things really gone too far?  Is there no way to ever return to the splendid societal and political structure conceived through the wisdom, guided by faith and prayer, of our Founding Fathers? Many will assert that no, we have no hope.  Things have gone too far.  This sentiment is reiterated, accepted and reinforced – in other words granted established validity –... Read More

Chris Dodd – assasin

Lavrentiy Pavlovich Beria, head of Stalin’s secret police famously said, “Show me the man and I’ll find you the crime.” John Marshall said “The power to tax is the power to destroy.”  And that was when a Supreme Court justice typically was more inclined to impute to their constitutional analysis a healthier regard for the founding fathers’ intent than... Read More

Deficit Bugaboo

In some situations a tactical retrenchment makes sense.  It can allow a crafty tactician the breathing room required to rest and refit prior to renewing operations. Used by a less determined or skilled operator, however, it often means merely ceding a hard won position.  A new, less satisfactory benchmark is established; “acceptable” is downgraded and the original... Read More
