No president, nor appeasement policy will change that.For the terrorist only adoption of their way of life will be victory [...]

Some time ago, I started reading blogs by the mainstream republicans. They no longer have relevance in the debate conservatives have with themselves. For the GOP pundits it’s all about finding a new Reagan. This group seem to be like the has-been jocks at the high school reunions, clamoring for the “good [...]

Spend What?The financial networks keep talking about the economy rebounding. While they mention it in passing, the impact of the de-leveraged consumer seems to escape them. Their blindness can be excused by the fact they make their living watching a giant shell game. One minute they are exuberant, the next depressed all [...]

Your 401k has always been yours. But with the socialist arriving at the door this month, you can expect changes. Think I am kidding? From That Blozzz–“Many of you have heard of the hearings held where Teresa Ghilarducci, an Economist, purposed that there is an overhaul of the 401k system. She proposes [...]

Ever wonder why the Founding Fathers set up a government which restricted voting to property owners? Granted it was not a knowledge test but it was the best they could do to keep debtors from voting themselves freebies.The Founding Fathers knew that creditors had more at stake.

Collective BargainingA basic principle of socialism is about to gain a stranglehold on the U.S. For some idea of the true nature of complete and total collective bargaining, check out the buildings in the video. The music is rap and in French, so if that is too annoying turn it down. The [...]
