North Korea thinks that they are Obama.

North Korea says that they are owed $75 trillion from US citizens.  Who do they think they are?  Obama?

Paul McCartney is a jerk.

Paul McCartney is an immature, uncurious, and aggressive statist.  Yes, he was in the Beatles.  We all liked his music.   Does that mean that we should consider his uninformed opinion on the environment more than anyone else?  No.  What is his expertise on global warming/climate change?  Absolutely nothing.  However, what is quite clear is that he, like most statists, likes the idea of controlling the people.  Just as he was able to get girls to swoon to his music, he would like to get a continent to shrug as a result of his overbearing socialist policies. 

Obama’s unconstitutional ‘taking’ of BP’s shareholder’s property

What I really find upsetting about the BP oil spill situation is that Obama has acted in an unconstitutional manner.  Obama does not have any Constitutional authority to steal $20 billion from BP’s shareholders and redistribute it to politically connected recipients.  What do I support?  I believe that legitimate claims should either be voluntarily provided by BP or through civil lawsuits in state or federal courts.  When there is a legitimate grievance, individuals should have their day in court, with an impartial judge and possibly a jury (if they request one), using objective law and facts to prove that they are owed money.  In America, we do not assign presidents dictatorial powers to act as a judge and jury.  That’s not America. 

Lame duck Congress is frightening

Guess what is frightening?  A lame duck session in Congress where the Democrats will raise taxes, impose cap and trade, a VAT tax, and legalize the illegal aliens.  Democrats have contempt for the American people, so it is not unreasonable to imagine Democrats trying this.

Obama has shown contempt for the American people. 57% oppose his performance.

Obama has shown nothing but contempt for the American people since he has been elected President of the United States of America.  Well, this arrogance has certainly had an impact in undermining his poll numbers.  57% of the American people oppose Obama’s performance as President.

Time to fire US Senator (“ma’am”) Barbara Boxer

When I casually did an informal, unscientific search of the California US Senate race, it is quite apparent that all of the energy is on the Republican side.  Very few Democrats are taking the time to show their support for the intellectually deficient, morally bankrupt, and emotionally unstable US Senator Barbara Boxer.  I suppose it is hard for Democrats to get very excited and in favor of a woman who supports destruction of the energy industry, health care rationing, and ever higher taxes.  It is time for California to vote to fire Barbara Boxer.  She has stayed long enough in the US Senate. 

Vote for Chuck DeVore for US Senate from California

If you’re like me, you are probably tired of Republicans who know how to talk about conservative policy positions and then move leftward after they win a primary.  However, there is one statesman running for the US Senate from California.  The name of this man?  Chuck DeVore.  Chuck DeVore knows that the government’s job is to protect individuals’ pre-existing individual rights.  He has opposed the bailouts, opposed the phony “stimulus,” supports dramatic reductions in taxes and government spending, and would vote “no” on Obama’s radical judicial nominees.  Vote for Chuck DeVore. 

Zev Chafets' book on Rush Limbaugh

I just read an excerpt of Zev Chafets' book on Rush Limbaugh, and it is great.  Read it here.

Obama doesn't care about the troops.

Why is President Obama not going to Arlington National Cemetery on Memorial Day? It is simple: Obama does not care about showing signs of patriotism to this nation.  He does not respect liberty, and he certainly has no interest in celebrating anything that happened prior to him being elected.  So it makes sense that a man like him, who has no class, and who does not care about the office of the presidency, would not even show our soldiers and veterans that he cares.  Why should he?  He doesn't care.

Obama's ideas aren't new, but they sound like socialism

I'm always shocked by the wealth of information that one can find on the internet.  While browsing through Google's Book search feature, I found an old pamplet published in 1848 about communism and socialism.  The fact that it describes Barack Obama proves that a) his philosophy is not new and b) his philosophy is indeed socialistic in its orientation.

Obama is opposed to economic freedom

In a shocking statement, Obama said that "I do think that at a certain point you've made enough money."  Who is to decide when someone has made enough money?  Obama.  He does not believe in economic freedom, but instead believes that individuals should be directed by government officials.  Individuals who have ambition, have high financial goals, and pursue their independent path have no need for politicians who promise bailouts, regulation, and higher taxes like President Obama.

President Obama gives instructions to our enemies on how to attack us without receiving a devastating nuclear attack

President Obama released his "Nuclear Posture Review," in which he publicly disclosed to our enemies how they can attack the United States without having to fear a nuclear retaliatory response.  In this report, Obama has let our enemies know that we will not respond with nuclear weapons if they destroy one of our cities while that nation is in compliance with the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. 

In the President's own idiotic and careless language, the report says: "The United States is declaring that we will not use or threaten to use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear weapons states that are party to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and in compliance with their nuclear nonproliferation obligations," the President pledged.  (emphasis added).

If an enemy attacks us with chemical or biological weapons, we will not respond with nuclear weapons, so long as the enemy is in compliance with the Non-Proliferation Treaty!  Outrageous!

The President of the United States has just given our enemies instructions on how to attack the United States and receive the least devastating response possible.

California bar association fears Professors's research will discredit affirmative action

A UCLA professor, Richard Sanders, who is an economist and law professor, has asked for data from the California state bar, including applicants’ race, law schools attended, year graduated from law school, bar pass rate, law school grades and LSAT scores.  Sanders is trying to gather enough evidence to show that race-based admissions actually hurt the very students such policies were designed to help.  By admitting students based upon race, rather than merit, it results in students who cannot compete as well with the students who were admitted based upon race, says Richard Sanders. 
Why won’t the California state bar release this information to Professor Sanders?  The main reason why is because the California State Bar is quite committed to race-based admission policies, and releasing this information will go against their ideological worldview.  So of course they are delaying and obstructing the release of this data.

Health insurance companies failed to stand up for capitalism

Republicans in Congress have introduced legislation to repeal the government takeover of health care

Republicans in Congress have introduced legislation to repeal the government takeover of the American health care industry.   This is exactly the right approach.  Socialist health care cannot be 'reformed' or 'fixed.'  If any part of the law were to remain in tact, it would suggest that Republicans agree philosophically with Democrats that certain industries ought to be run by the government.  That would be a disaster politically as well as philosophically.  Millions of Americans know that the US Constitution does not grant Congress the power to force Americans to buy insurance, to run insurance companies, or to force employers to offer coverage.  Americans will reward Republicans for standing opposed to socialist health care and insisting that health care is a private matter left up to millions of patients and the doctors who serve them. 

The socialist health care law must be abolished completely, and only then, after the bad law has been repealed, is it possible to write new legislation that enables citizens to buy insurance across state lines, remove health insurance mandates that result in higher prices, institute tort reform, expand health savings accounts, and remove the employer tax subsidy so that consumers have the incentive to purchase health insurance on their own.
