Blind Taxes

Posted on December 18, 2008 by gopost

Do Not Resuscitate

Posted on November 11, 2008 by gopost

 

If you think this country is the only one who is bailing out failing companies, think again. Today China announced billions of dollars in bail out corporate handouts as they too jump on the bail out band wagon.
What ever happened to the simple days of Capitalism where supply and demand dictated whether a company succeeded [...]

Fixing Welfare

Posted on October 29, 2008 by gopost

If you live in a large metropolitan city like New York, all you have to do is visit any cashier at the end of the month to see the long line which wraps around the dividers, making it impossible to use the cashier services unless you’re willing to wait a while. In my case, Ill [...]

    • Aikman: Obama Bows November 20, 2009
      What is it about President Obama’s fondness of bowing to foreign heads of state? A few months ago there was a widely viewed video of the president bowing to Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah. Last week, there he was bowing again, this time to Japan's emperor Hirohito.

    • Hewitt: A Deeply Wrong Decision November 19, 2009
      The deeply wrong decision to bring confessed 9/11 mastermind Sheik Khalid Mohammed to New York City for a criminal trial that will treat him and his co-conspirators as ordinary criminals and American citizens to boot has shocked hundreds of millions of Americans. Democrat allies of President Obama have dutifully trooped forward to support this very dangerous […]

    • Hewitt: Breaking the Bank November 18, 2009
      This week Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid makes his first attempt to open debate on Obamacare. After last week’s stunning news on the massive budget deficit for the first month of the new fiscal year, we hope that Reid and his Democratic colleagues realize that now is not the time to burn through another 1.2 trillion, which is the (conservative) projec […]

    • Medved: Who Got More Conservative Votes: Reagan or McCain? November 17, 2009
      Which presidential candidate drew stronger support from conservatives—Reagan in 1980, or McCain in 2008? The answer is shocking and enlightening, as exit polls show McCain got 78 percent of self-described conservatives, while Reagan drew only 72 percent.

    • Medved: The New Political Strategy: Confusion and Exhaustion November 13, 2009
      After Republican victories in the elections of 2009, the Obama strategy has become increasingly obvious—and obnoxious. The administration means to continue pushing dozens of complicated measures at once, leaving their opponents so confused and exhausted that they’ll be unable to fight back.

    • Hewitt: The Worst Terrorist Attack Since 9-11 November 12, 2009
      The terrorist who attacked Fort Hood last week was a jihadist, and one who ought to have been thrown out of the Army a long time ago. The investigation will reveal why that did not happen, but the safety of our troops requires us to speak candidly about the motivations of this hater.

    • Aikman: Berlin Wall -- 20 Years Later November 9, 2009
      There are very few occasions in a century that are truly historic. One of them occurred 20 years ago when the Berlin Wall fell and Communism in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union began to collapse.

      November 9, 1989. That date, now two decades past in memory, is the date millions of people around the world had prayed for. What happened on that day was what few could believe would happen in their lifetimes. What happened on that day is that the Berlin Wall fell.
