The spectacle of concerted strikes by Wisconsin teachers is a throwback to the syndicalist origin of mass industrial unions in the United States. [...] Because "the people" is an abstraction, misery inflicted in real life is not on the radar screen of liberal-progressive academics. [...] Obama in the eyes of an academic. [...] The fundamental thrust of governments such as that of President Obama is to abrogate the rights of private property, aiming at the holy grail of their secular religion: redistribution of income and wealth to reduce everyone to an equally low state of economic equality. [...] The Senate was intended to be the bulwark against unwise political actions that infringed upon the rights and powers reserved to the states and to the people by the 9th and 10th Amendments of the Bill of Rights. [...] Stimulus spending distorts economic activity by channeling funds to favored interest groups at the expense of others, smothering the economic processes necessary to clear the decks for sound new growth. [...] Why is it so important for liberal-progressives to reduce or eliminate loyalty to the family unit? [...] Liberal-progressives will, in the main, find nothing in the Social Gospel with which to disagree. [...] Right or wrong, the charges against Goldman Sachs highlight divergent standards of banking. [...] Nazism is one of several varieties of socialism, the ideological faith of liberal-progressives.

[...] One tepid clap for President Obama's reconsideration to try Khalid Sheikh Mohammad in New York City. [...] Germany has criminalized home schooling, demanding that parents place their children in state schools. California is moving in the same direction. [...] Loading us with amounts of debt that can never be repaid guarantees our servitude to the Washington elite. [...] Just as the Fed's creation of fiat money made possible the dot.com bubble and burst, as well as the current over-expansion of home-building and over-investment in subprime mortgages and collateralized debt obligations, so too did it create the conditions for the 1929 stock market crash. [...] For at least two decades, proposals by the Social Security Administration and Congress to cut Medicare costs have come to naught. [...] The dollar edges closer to becoming a third-world currency. [...] The overriding characteristic of President Obama's healthcare proposal is forced equality of consumption. [...] Healthcare "reform" is all about the raw power to decide who gets what treatment, while cramming everyone into identical little boxes in order to eliminate any efforts in the direction of individuality. [...] When the "stimulus" bill was enacted, the unemployment level was approximately half the present 9.4%. [...] |
