One of these days the responsible, successful people living within our means will be out of money to give to the rest of the knuckleheads in this country.
I don’t agree with everything Michelle Malkin says and I am sure the libs hate her with a passion but she is DEAD ON with her post below.
In this case, I agree with pretty much everything she is saying. I am so sick of having to pay for the bad behavior and stupid decisions of [...]

LOL. Obama’s “Change” translated into shell commands.
For all the geeks out there like me.
Many people believed that by “change”, Obama intended to:
su – President
del /SpecialInterests
cd /newUS
./configure
make
make install
Unfortunately for them, by “change” he meant:
su – President
mv /SpecialInterests /opt/agenda2009
and they never expected to see
cp lobbyists /home/whitehouse/cabinet/
or
cp taxcheats /home/whitehouse/cabinet/

A primer on what ‘Keynesian’ really means.
Most people who are well educated and interested in economics know who Keynes and Friedman are. I keep hearing people mention Keynes in the news lately. Few really understand his theories or his thinking.
What is more important, in my opinion is understanding the difference between Keynes and Friedman (who’s work came a long much later and [...]

WTB – No Stimulus (or Stimulus, sans useless pork)
Will this guy ever get it? Handing out money taken from the pockets of taxpayers to every Tom, Dick and Harry does NOT stimulate the economy.
I have to believe that Obama actually understands this. He simply cannot be that stupid. If he does understand this then it’s almost as bad. He is now just paying [...]

I bet you forgot what form of Government we have here in the U.S.A.
I keep hearing people say that we have a Democracy here in the U.S. or that we need to “save” our Democracy.
When I hear that I think WOW. Are most people that uninformed? Have we corrupted the term “Democracy”? Has the meaning somehow changed?
We do not live in a Democracy, we live in a Constitutional [...]

Give me a break, I actually laughed at this one.
Barney Frank is a symbol of all that is wrong with the far far left. What an idiot.
I sure hope we all realize that judicious use of private planes by CEO’s of large companies makes a TON of sense. From the safety/security standpoint for certain. It’s also not in the best interest of a large [...]

You took the words right out of my mouth…
This letter was written by a man in East Texas as an open letter to Senator Obama. He really does exist and says anyone can email his letter around, just don’t change it.
“Mr. Obama, Given the uproar about the simple question asked you by Joe the plumber, and the persecution that has been heaped on [...]
Veterans.
During these times, Veteran’s day has a special meaning for many of us.
Being at war brings out the patriotism in many people. The other side of the coin are those that oppose the war and show their patriotism in different ways.
However, on Veteran’s day it is time to put aside differences and remember those [...]

Reprint of an open letter to the president-elect.
Amazing. I agree with everything that Neal says below.
Number 17 below hits closest to home for me. I am deeply saddened by the apparent lack of individualism that we have seen in this election process. No more are Americans asked to provide for themselves. It seems that they want a Nanny State government to provide [...]

Redistribution
I found this amusing.
Redistribute the Wealth
Today on my way to lunch I passed a homeless guy with a sign that read
‘Vote Obama, I need the money.’ I laughed.
Once in the restaurant my server had on a ‘Obama 08′ tie, again I laughed
as he had given away his political preference — just imagine the
coincidence.
When the bill [...]

Mark Cuban and I are on the same wavelength…

How to Get Rich
Oct 4th 2008 11:24AM
Thats what so many want. Right ? I’m certainly not going to lie and say it is not a whole lot better having lots of money. I had a whole lot of fun and loved my life when I was eating mustard and ketchup sandwiches [...]

Use your head in the voting booth.
This is pretty scary stuff. If you vote for Obama, I hope you get what you deserve.
Problem is, I will get what I don’t deserve if he wins.
Some of what is listed below doesn’t sound too bad (daycare for people who are single pares so they can actually work, etc). However, it is the method [...]
Ben Stein for the win.
Ben Stein sums up my thoughts precisely.

How to Ruin the U.S. Economy
1) Have a fiscal policy that creates immense deficits in good times and bad, burdening America’s posterity with staggering burdens of repaying the debt.
2) Eliminate regulation of Wall Street and/or fail to enforce the regulations that already exist, instead trusting Wall Street [...]
