Socialism
Broken marriage culture
At the end of a meandering piece on single mothers in the Daily Beast, Amanda Marcotte writes: There’s no reason to believe that simply putting a ring on it will make the real issues that women face—economic instability, lack of child care, lack of health care—any less pressing. Couples who are currently raising children together … Continue reading
You need to read George Gilder
Economics is so uninteresting, it is fascinating the discipline consumes as much of our time as it does. We hang on every report, looking for indicators, a narrative with which to confirm our biases. Gas prices fell x cents in June. The economy added x jobs in July. Second quarter growth was a tepid x … Continue reading
Where the fight is
“You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.” –Exodus 20:17 Robin Hood-style redistribution accounts for but a fraction of the Left’s agenda. We focus on it because we live in a materialistic age, … Continue reading
Socialized smoking
While it’s not the government’s official position smoking doesn’t adversely affect your health, government policy isn’t any different than if it was. It’s a long-running joke that cigarette manufacturers refuse to acknowledge the link between cigarettes and cancer for liability reasons. Everyone knows smoking is bad for your health. Why, then, can’t health insurers charge … Continue reading

It’s true that the Scandinavians have … Continue reading

As Caesar so prophetically stated over two thousand years ago: “alea iacta est” – the die is cast. Marching under the flags of “fairness”, “social justice”, “I want mine”, and … Continue reading
‘Kind of’ Blaming Me?
In 2008 Obama worked to appeal to the young people, our nation’s greatest asset, it’s youth. In this election it is now going beyond that. The ‘children of the future,’ under direction of Barack Obama supporters, are blaming me and others who may have kids in the future for a long list of ‘terrible’ things. … Continue reading
Capitalism and the Mayflower
Most Americans think of Thanksgiving as the courage of the Pilgrims that came to America on the Mayflower. What they do not know is that the Pilgrims were socialists who eventually became converts to capitalism. In the book “Mayflower” by Nathaniel Philbrick, the voyage, founding and the daily doings of Plymouth, Massachusetts is discussed in great detail … Continue reading
I Grew Up in a Socialist Country: An Ad Paid For by a Private Citizen
“I grew up in a socialist country and I have seen what that does to people. There is no hope, no freedom, no pride in achievement. The nation became poorer and poorer, and that’s what I see happening here.” Thomas Petterfy is an immigrant from Hungary who has built a fortune of over $5 billion … Continue reading
