“Atlas” Has an Itch

October 6, 2009

Wealthy people are leaving the tax-hell of New York, while 45% of doctors would consider quitting if Obama Care were enacted. Scary prospects for New York’s looter class and the nation as a whole, respectfully, when those who produce, create, innovate and do the hard work at the top are abused to the point of [...]

Paul Ryan on Health Care

July 23, 2009

Congressman Paul Ryan wrote this article for the American Spectator today. It’s awesome and definitely worth a read! Page one, two, and three.
It’s thoughtful, harkening back to our Founders, history, and American character in context of today’s debate. We, as a nation, have failed miserably in educating ourselves on the concept of freedom and the [...]

Obamacare is Lurking

June 17, 2009

Part of the danger of the Obama Nation (and undoubtedly part of their strategy) is to inundate the public with so much volume of crises and massive government responses that no one (even Obama) could come close to wrapping their brains around what has happened over the last 5-6 months.
Obamacare is just the latest incarnation of that insatiable power-hungry beast, but [...]

States Voting to Ditch the Electoral College

May 24, 2009

There are efforts underway to ostensibly toss out the Electoral College through a “stealth” method described by Peter Hannaford at the American Spectator. The National Popular Vote initiative is promoting a pretty ridiculous idea — no matter how your state voted, the state’s Electors would vote for whoever won the national popular vote total, effectively [...]

Lia Mills on Abortion

March 22, 2009

I taught Roe v. Wade in class this week and was shockingly objective. It’s really hard when you’re a pro-life Catholic teaching in a public school, being morally opposed to abortion as a form of birth control — I just think it’s sick. I felt like I needed a bath and confession afterwards. I NEVER say “fetus”; [...]

Don’t Panic: Living the Satire

January 14, 2009

The American Spectator ran an article yesterday which mixed two things I really love, combining contemporary politics and clever 1980s British satirists through poking fun at Obamanomics using the work of the late Douglas Adams!
Here are a few lines Joseph Lawler draws from Adams’ Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy:
On the Presidency:
As the alien Ford Prefect explains to the human protagonist Arthur [...]

The Kennedy “Mistake”

December 21, 2008

I grew up in Rhode Island. Like New Jersey has New York envy, RI has Massachusetts envy — we just want to matter, so we’ll latch on to certain aspects our more exciting neighbor to bask in some of their glow.
That being said, RI is in love with the Kennedy’s. John and Jackie were married in Newport, [...]

The Coming Liberal Storm

November 6, 2008

We’re in it pretty deep. Listening to Rush today, he read from an article written by Quin Hillyer for the American Spectator about the trouble we’re in for 2010 and 2012; it’s very enlightening and scary at the same time, and worth repeating as well.
Hillyer argues that since unabashed Libs now control so many levels of [...]
