The Marxism Mistake

May 17th, 2012 | Add a Comment

  Karl Marx (1818-1883) (Photo credit: Wikipedia) A child generally knows immediately after touching a hot stove that the invariable result of that choice is a painful burn, and he will usually resolve to not attempt such a thing again. This is a lesson learned by experience.   A second child, watching this first one place his hand on the stove, may witness him cry out in agony from the self-inflicted wound. Capable of understanding the first child’s choice and its predictable result, this second child will also usually resolve to avoid making the same mistake. This is a lesson learned by example. Now imagine that these are not children, but adults. Imagine that the consequence of the choice in question is not a physical burn, but widespread poverty, famine, or death at the hands … Read entire article »

Barack Obama: Fresh Prince of Nairobi?

By: R.J. Moeller ————————– From the part of progressive liberal Elizabeth Warren’s politically correct-obsessed brain that brought you her lie about being part Cherokee that has come to light in the midst of her current senatorial race, we get this tasty little treat-of-a-blurb about a young author named Barack Obama way back in 1991.  You remember! Back when Will Smith slept in Uncle Phil’s pool house (whereas now DJ Jazzy Jeff sleeps in Wills’, I imagine). An excerpt from the people who broke the story in question: “Breitbart News has obtained a promotional booklet produced in 1991 by Barack Obama’s then-literary agency, Acton & Dystel, which touts Obama as “born in Kenya and raised … Read entire article »

Israeli Government In Lockdown As Iran Decision Nears

As Iran continues to enrich uranium and work on moving its nuclear sites underground, there are a number of signs that the mood in Israel is hardening and that Prime Minister Netanyahu and his inner cabinet are fairly close to a decision to strike Iran. Iran has threatened numerous times to destroy Israel, and the Israelis are not prepared to allow what they consider an existential threat to become a reality. Aside from the risk of direct attack from Iran, Israel also has to consider the risk that the Iranians could supply a nuclear warhead to the openly genocidal Hezbollah and Hamas, who already have missiles supplied by Iran on Israel’s borders. If the Israelis are going to … Read entire article »

Rand Paul’s “Monstrous” and “Nasty” Budget Got 16 More Votes than Obama’s Budget

A few months ago, I wrote some very nice things about a budget plan put together by Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, noting that: Senator Paul and his colleagues are highlighting the fact that the plan generates a balanced budget in just five years. That’s a good outcome, but it should be a secondary selling point. All the good results in the plan – including the reduction in red ink and the flat tax – are made possible because the overall burden of federal spending is lowered. Not surprising, one of the columnists at the Washington Post has a different perspective. In his hyperventilating column today, Dana Milbank says that Senator’s Paul’s proposal is “monstrous” and “nasty” … Read entire article »

Where Churches Have Gone Astray

  CBP Border Patrol agent monitors US/Canadian border near Sweet Grass Montana. – photo by Gerald L Nino Illegal immigrants are a class which imposes their sad state upon themselves. By way of their illegality they consign themselves to lives as outcasts.  They will congregate within communities where anchor immigrants and other illegals who have mastered a corrupt and permissive social welfare system have settled. But because of the criminal nature of their presence in the country they are insecure, always seeking more substance from the earners for their support, and more absolution from moral authorities for their crimes. American churches of all denominations, especially those churches which openly offer sanctuary to criminal aliens, but those as well  whose charitable … Read entire article »

Some Legislators With Backbone

We have watched our leaders in Washington wobble like Weebles when it comes to making hard decisions. Often, when the choice is obvious, they still can’t bring themselves to stand up for their country. We’ve seen Senator Darryl Issa’s fine work in building the case against Attorney General Eric Holder… but will the Republican leadership in the House of Representatives move forward in dealing with this racist menace to our world? Not on your life! These people are more interested in their positions and keeping the District of Corruption on an even keel. None are worthy of our predecessors like Thomas Jefferson and Patrick Henry. None would show up in President Kennedy’s book Profiles in Courage. … Read entire article »

Will California ever see a surplus again?

I’ve questioned California’s spending priorities for years now. With the state budget deficit reaching $16,000,000,000, it’s time to ask if California will ever run a surplus again. This NYTimes article doesn’t address that issue directly but it’s the next question that doesn’t get asked throughout the article: “We are now facing a $16 billion hole, not the $9 billion we thought in January,” Mr. Brown said. “This means we will have to go much further and make cuts far greater than I asked for at the beginning of the year.” During the recall of Gov. Grey Davis, then-assemblyman Tom McLintock highlighted California’s pension system as being the heart of California’s budget mess. After this winter’s OWS protests, it’s … Read entire article »

Systemic Risk: Losses at JP Morgan

JP Morgan Chase, the largest U.S. bank by assets, “lost $2 billion on bad bets on credit derivatives, made by a London trading desk, which “is intended to hedge the giant bank’s credit risk, not increase it.” According to the bank, its chief investment office “has had significant mark-to-market losses in its synthetic credit portfolio, and this portfolio has proven to be riskier, more volatile and less effective as an economic hedge than the firm previously believed.” In other words, attempts to hedge were not sufficient to lessen the risk. Put another way, the Wall Street bankers did not learn their lesson in September of 2008. “Ultimately, this is about banks being dissatisfied with the single-digit … Read entire article »

Will House Republicans, Squeamish about the Defense Budget, Get Bullied into a Tax Hike by President Obama and Senator Reid?

Last year, as part of the fight over the debt limit, Congress created a “super-committee” that was designed to produce at least $1.2 trillion of “deficit reduction.” The statists saw this super-committee as a vehicle to seduce Republicans into a tax hike. They knew that some GOPers are perpetually gullible and would be susceptible to the siren song of a “balanced approach” – even though that inevitably means higher taxes and never-fulfilled promises of future spending restraint. But they also had a back-up plan. They got Republicans to agree that there would be automatic spending cuts – known as sequestration – if the super-committee failed to produce an agreement. And they convinced GOPers that half of these … Read entire article »

Walker’s divide & conquer strategy?

The blogosphere and Twitter are abuzz with what’s being called “Walker’s divide & conquer strategy.” The story tells us more about the media than it tells us about Gov. Scott Walker. This AP article is a perfect example of what I’m talking about: Newly released documentary film footage shows embattled Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker shortly after his election describing a “divide and conquer” strategy for taking on unions by first going after public employees’ collective bargaining rights. I’ve heard the media call challengers embattled more than a few times. Still, until now, they’ve only said that about candidates when they’re trailing. That’s the first time I’ve ever heard the media call a sitting governor with a 5-point lead … Read entire article »

Main Stream Media: Obama’s Move Popular and Gutsy?

Like me, I am sure you have heard the main stream media tell us: Obama’s saying he now has evolved into favoring men being able to marry men and women being able to marry women, a decision that is right in line with the majority of Americans today. They would like us to think that all the polls show a majority of Americans supporting  the redefinition of traditional marriage. Is that true? You may be able to find a poll or two saying that a slight majority favor gay marriage, but what about the only polls that count?  Where the people actually vote.  What do those polls [votes] show? I found this article from November of 2009 … Read entire article »

The Life of Julia Demands a Question: Whom Will We Choose?

By Jon Wakefield Earlier this week, President Obama introduced us to Julia—a fictional character whose entire life is subsidized by the Federal Government (i.e., your tax money). Her website shows all the government benefits she would receive under President Obama from birth through retirement and compares them to what she would receive (or wouldn’t) under that eeeeevil Mitt Romney. The narrative was written to emotionally appeal to the uninformed, as the information provided was extremely misleading, inaccurate, and incomplete, yet many of the President’s followers will undoubtedly accept it without question. Instead of taking time to pick apart every (non)factual representation myself—I’ll leave that for others to do—I’m going to focus on the most troubling aspect of … Read entire article »

You Say You Want A Revolution …

Revolution starts in the heart… and in the home. I guess there is a tipping point.    For years, we have been awash with the propaganda, historical revisionism and culture (if you can call it that) of the Left.   The media, Hollywood and the education system all have in varying degrees, infiltrated our homes and have spread their lies and deception over all of us.   We just were too busy raising families and trying to run our lives to give it a lot of attention.    We knew it was going on, but we tended to filter it out.   We watched the plot lines of movies and television dramas pillory the “evil corporation”, rotten capitalists, and abusers of … Read entire article »

Danger! Danger! Listen to the Warnings!

General Utility Non-theorizing Environmental Control Robot, Model B9. Created for the television series "Lost in Space", the B9 was known simply as "The robot". Exhibit at the Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame in Seattle. (Photo credit: Wikipedia) Some of you will not be old enough to recognize the picture accompanying this article as that of the robot on the old TV series Lost In Space. During each episode of the show, the robot was sure to recognize some impending danger to the little group of people stranded on a distant planet, and would wave its arms wildly around while shouting, “Danger! Danger!” The human members of the cast would then heed the warning and … Read entire article »

Vote for Healthcare Freedom

Barack Obama signing the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act at the White House Español: Barack Obama firmando la Ley de Protección al Paciente y Cuidado de Salud Asequible en la Casa Blanca (Photo credit: Wikipedia) For nearly a year now I’ve written a number of pieces in an effort to provide one physician’s perspective on the changes that have been occurring in America’s healthcare system. I’ve tried to make my points using clever metaphors and logical comparisons to other events, and at times even attempted a bit of humor; admittedly without much success. But, now its time for the gloves to come off.   For the last three years my profession and my relationship with my patients … Read entire article »

Barack Hussein Comes Out!

Barack Hussein Obama has finally publicly endorsed the idea of marriage between members of the same sex. This move should come as no surprise to anyone who as been paying attention, and many, including former presidential candidate Rick Santorum see the move as the end of a “charade” rather than the touted “evolution” of a position. It is a necessary “evolution” for Obama as homosexuals are one of his key constituent groups. This happens because the Democrat Party, for all their rhetoric about standing up for the “common man”, really only sees constituency groups. They think of people as part of groups based electoral preferences. Are they union members? Do they … Read entire article »

Christians And Politics – Part II

By: Paul R. Green Jr. Can/Should we do the Lord’s work through our political involvement? If the person holding the position of authority operates in obedience to God’s Word, he or she will make decisions which God will honor whether or not those decision were made of own volition based upon their personal relationship with God’s son, Jesus Christ or because of Godly advice received from an adviser who garnered his advice from study with God’s word as his counsel. John 14:13. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. Such a person will not poll you to see whether or not you agree. Because all … Read entire article »

It has begun

While the Tea Party and Conservatives in general doing very well in 2010, it has seemed that some of the enthusiasm waned.  Especially in the GOP primary this year.   The Conservatives were divided and basically going after each other  and it seems that they lost momentum.  But is the Conservative Movement and tea Party done? There are many races other than the Presidential elections gong on this year.   And if Richard Mourdock’s win over Lugar is a glimpse at what is to come, I think the Movement is alive and well. The Tea Party has moved on from just doing rallies.   Many are volunteering for campaigns now and filling positions in the GOP.   And … Read entire article »

Did FDR End The Great Depression?

The below, by Burton Folsom Jr. and Anita Folsom, is a very insightful article, which was posted, online, at The Wall Street Journal, on April 12, 2010: “He got us out of the Great Depression.” That’s probably the most frequent comment made about President Franklin Roosevelt, who died 65 years ago today. Every Democratic president from Truman to Obama has believed it, and each has used FDR’s New Deal as a model for expanding the government. It’s a myth. FDR did not get us out of the Great Depression—not during the 1930s, and only in a limited sense during World War II. Let’s start with the New Deal. Its various alphabet-soup agencies—the WPA, AAA, NRA and even the TVA (Tennessee Valley … Read entire article »

Health Care is NOT a Right

Originally posted at FreedomWorks.org. President Obama believes that health care is a right for every American. This is a perversion of the Founding Fathers’ idea of rights. There is an abundance of problems associated with ObamaCare but not enough attention has been paid to the dangerous philosophy behind the law. The underlying problem with ObamaCare is that too many Americans now see health care as a human right rather than a good. The Declaration of Independence states that we have an unalienable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That doesn’t mean that other people should be forced to sustain our life or make us happy. Many people have a fundamental misunderstanding of the … Read entire article »

Christians And Politics – Part I

By: Paul R. Green Jr. Can/Should we do the Lord’s work through our political involvement? 1. By Christian, I refer to a person who has accepted Jesus Christ as personal Lord and Savior and who, in so in so doing, has committed to a life of worship and obedience of Him. Such a person is one who is “saved” from an eternity in hell (a real place designed for the devil and his angels where both the body and soul of those who have not accepted Jesus will burn forever (Mt. 10:28) in an inexhaustible fire). Such a person is one who will understand that he or she is “saved” by God’s grace through faith and not by works … Read entire article »

‘Gutsy Call’?? Obama Knew Bin Laden’s Location Since Summer Of 2010

Per General Keane, Retired General Jack Keane, the former Vice Chief of Staff of the Army on Mike Huckabee’s show: “We actually had the target the summer before execution,” Ret. General Jack Keane said on Mike Huckabee’s FOX News show over the weekend. “In other words, we had the target in the sumer [of] 2010 and it took until the following May to execute the mission.” “I was surprised that it was taking that long to execute it because, you know, the longer you spend on something like that the greater likelihood is that the target will be compromised because of your surveillance and then that target will flee. That’s the concern that we always have when … Read entire article »
