Years ago I went out to lunch with a friend who works at the Department of Homeland Security. She told me of a speech former president Bush gave to everyone to raise morale. She said it was an amazing off-the-cuff presentation that left many people in tears. She was blown away by how he spoke […]
Is George W. Bush smarter than you? The better question: Is he smarter than the media?

Lee Doren takes down ‘Wealth Inequality in America’ video as only he can
March 10, 2013 By 6 Comments
Recently, a video titled ‘Wealth Inequality in America’ was uploaded and has gained millions of views. Based on the comments section, there are a lot of really envious jealous people who have little to no understanding of basic economics out there. I had planned on deconstructing the video, but Lee Doren of CEI has already […]
The Jenga Economy: Brought to you by the federal government
February 25, 2013 By 3 Comments
$16 trillion. $17 trillion. $18 trillion. The debt continues to grow, and most elected officials don’t seem to care. I have shied away from making my own graphics, but in this instance I think the “Jenga” analogy is fitting. As the government accumulates more and more debt, the threat to the overall economy becomes increasingly […]
Hoyer: Congress ‘has a paying-for problem’ (i.e., Hoyer thinks you’re an idiot)
February 12, 2013 By 9 Comments
The United States is closing in on being $17 trillion in debt. Do a little research on just how monumentally huge 1 trillion is. Then come back and read Rep. Steny Hoyer’s reaction to a very simple question: CNBC Analyst: Does the country have a spending problem sir? Does the country have a spending problem? […]
Bill Maher discovers: Subsidizing ‘dirt bags’ creates more ‘dirt bags’
January 27, 2013 By 9 Comments
Either Bill Maher has been watching Dinesh D’Souza videos, or he has been playing Oregon Trail. Whatever the case, it seems as if something went off in his head because he’s finally acknowledging that there are an awful lot of people asking for an awful lot from the American taxpayer. Or perhaps Maher and D’Souza […]
Gun control for radicals: Obama goes Alinsky on guns rights
January 16, 2013 By 10 Comments
President Obama and Vice President Biden spoke on Wednesday — with children as backdrop props — to make the case for strict gun control measures. Both men framed power grabs, multiple times, as a “moral obligation” while demonizing opponents as extremists who want to “gin up fear and ratings and revenue.” Saul Alinsky would be […]
‘Deadbeat nation’ marches with Obama
January 15, 2013 By Leave a Comment
President Obama asserted on Monday that “we are not a nation of deadbeats.” He spoke with an authority that was missing when he said that he believed in American exceptionalism like “the Greeks believe in Greek exceptionalism.” Is he right about U.S. debt, or is he lying to himself because “deadbeat” Americans are following the […]
We are all ‘millionaires and billionaires’ now
January 5, 2013 By 18 Comments
We are all millionaires and billionaires now. You can thank Barack Obama. The refrain by the president that “millionaires and billionaires” should pay their “fair share” is synonymous in the minds of the average citizen with the memory of Dr. Evil from Austin Powers holding the world hostage for “1 million dollars!” Sadly, the inflationary […]
Obama won ‘spiritual but not religious’ (i.e., no moral compass) in droves
December 9, 2012 By 56 Comments
Imagine you were an ancient mariner trying to find your way to a new world, and every time you needed to go North you looked at your compass, then looked at the storm clouds or rough waters in that direction and decided to do whatever the heck it was you felt like doing. There’s a […]
Using Chris Matthews’ own logic, he is now a racist
December 7, 2012 By 2 Comments
I feel sorry for Chris Matthews. Years from now conservatives will cite the most infamous of all Chris Matthews quotes to drag what is left of his reputation through the mud. It will be ugly. And to think that he allowed himself to be overheard in Dupont Circle saying: “Yes, I admit it: I, Chris […]
