That's the analysis of Joseph Stiglitz, an internationally renowned economist and ...
Leftists, Progressives and Socialists (Walter Williams)

One of the greatest sources of confusion and deception is the difference between leftists, progressives, socialists, communists and fascists. I thought about this as I caught a glimpse of the Oct. 2 "One Nation" march on Washington. The participants proudly marched with banners, signs and placards reading "Socialists," "Ohio U Democratic Socialists," "International Socialists Organization," "Socialist Party USA," "Build A Socialist Alternative" and other signs expressing support for socialism and communism. They had stands where they sold booklets under the titles of Marxism and the State, Communist Manifesto, Four Marxist ...
Bush: ‘I Miss Being Pampered’

Bush: ‘I Miss Being Pampered’ “I loved being your president,” George W. Bush said, speaking to an audience at a university fundraiser in Alabama earlier this month. “But frankly,” he added, “I’m having the time of my life not being your president.” Last night, Bush told a sold out crowd in Texas why he loved being president so much: Bush said he misses certain aspects of the presidency. “I miss being pampered; I miss Air Force One; I miss being commander in chief of an awesome group of (people),” he said.

Late last week, the Heritage Foundation's Jim Carafano posted an essay at the Daily Caller, that took issue with the characterization of recent efforts by Heritage, AEI, and the Foreign Policy Initiative to sell the American people on the idea that we don't spend too much on the military. He seemed particularly incensed by the suggestion that this was a GOP-sponsored effort to speak to the Tea Party movement. On the contrary, protests Carafano, the message that the Pentagon's budget should be off-limits to any deficit reduction effort is aimed at the "ruling elites" and comes from three think tanks with no formal partisan affiliations. It is these ruling elites who ...
Conservatives for Empire

The U.S. government is effectively bankrupt. Angry citizens in the Tea Party movement are bypassing traditional politicians. Republican Party apparatchiks are scrambling to turn popular frustration to their advantage. The conservative movement also is in flux. Some pundits identified with the Right, such as David Frum and Ross Douthat, have advocated that conservatives become “liberals lite,” abandoning their commitment to limited government and learning to live with the expensive, expansive and intrusive welfare state. Most traditional conservative leaders have rejected this advice, choosing instead to support the conservative verities of fiscal responsibility and individual ...
Two Wars and We Don't Feel a Draft - The benefits of a volunteer military

In war as in life, what doesn't happen is often as significant as what does. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, with their setbacks, victories, and casualties, have many things in common with past American wars. But there is one big thing missing this time: the draft. Hendrik Hertzberg noted recently in The New Yorker magazine that "for the first time in a century, America is fighting a long war—indeed, two long wars, each longer than our participation in both World Wars put together—without conscription." A few decades ago, the draft was a requirement for any major military undertaking. No one would have dreamed of fighting the Germans and Japanese, or the North ...

Mideast talks fall apart, as Israel lets West Bank settlements begin anew. Peter Beinart on how American Jewish groups tie Obama’s hands—and work against peace.

Mideast talks fall apart, as Israel lets West Bank settlements begin anew. Peter Beinart on how American Jewish groups tie Obama’s hands—and work against peace. This just in, for anyone in the United States who still cares: Israel has not renewed the partial settlement freeze it imposed ten months ago. Which means that the direct talks with the Palestinians born this month may die in the crib. Which raises an interesting question: What would it take to make American Jewish groups admit that an Israeli prime minister is not serious about peace? You could hardly find a better test case than Benjamin Netanyahu. Until last year, Netanyahu had not just spent his entire political ...

The Breadwinner “My Momma told me that I am the breadwinner for the family.” I was speaking to an emergency room physician this morning. He told me that a woman in her 20’s came to the ER with her 8th pregnancy. She stated “my momma told me that I am the breadwinner for the family.” He asked her to explain. She said that she can make babies and babies get money for the family. The scam goes like this: The grandma calls the Department of Child and Family Services and states that the unemployed daughter is not capable of caring for these children. DCFS agrees and states that the child or children will need to go to foster care. The grandma then volunteers to be ...

By John Galt October 17, 2010 On September 30, 2010, WCCO reported via the Associated Press as story about two trains colliding. It was not the ‘Army Freight Special’ hitting the Taggart Comet and exploding killing all of the passengers and employees, but an incident which has had a huge impact on my psyche and approach to the conflagration which was just starting to receive mainstream media exposure; a totally unrelated but parallel story which many of us have been following for months and year on these pages and many other blog sites. The accident was between two freight trains and is still, of course according to the story, under investigation. What was unusual, in this ...

SUPER JEW Wolf Blitzer and our local public television anchor the very homely and Armenian Nancy Karibjanian (WHYY) moderated the debate between Democrat (i.e. Communism Without The Firing Squad) Party Candidate Chris Coons, and Republican "Tea Party"("I'm Not A Witch If I Can See My Reflection In My Cauldron") Party Candidate Christine O'Donnell.
They were both asked about a "pathway to citizenship for those here illegally."
Coons expressed "a real sincere concern about the national security threat" (based on New Castle County Police experiences in certain neighborhoods-HAH! It must be awful when some people aren't in the state's DMV computer database! "He doesn't have a driver's ...

Dinesh D’Souza has the bizarre idea that Barack Obama’s presidency can be best understood by realizing that “Incredibly, the U.S. is being ruled according to the dreams of a Luo tribesman of the 1950s [that is, Obama’s late estranged Kenyan father]. This philandering, inebriated African socialist, who raged against the world for denying him the realization of his anticolonial ambitions, is now setting the nation’s agenda through the reincarnation of his dreams in his son.” D’Souza needs to get out more. Specifically he should have a talk with Timothy Carney and Charlie Gasparino, whose books demonstrate beyond question that the best phrase to sum up ...

For the fourth day running, France has been crippled by strikes. Airlines are canceling flights. Travelers making their way to Paris from DeGaulle and Orly face long delays. Tourists are stranded. The Eiffel Tower was closed. Rail and subway traffic into the city has been curtailed. By shutting down refineries, French oil workers may cause a shutdown of gas stations and force the government to raid the strategic petroleum reserve. Millions have gone on strike. One in 10 high schools has been closed. Students at secondary schools and universities march beside workers and block entrances to paralyze the educational system. And what is the cause of this national tantrum? President Nicolas ...

The Brown Shoes Problem By Ron Marks Senior Fellow, George Washington University Homeland Security Policy Institute The late comedian George Gobel once told a story about how he felt like a pair of brown shoes in a room full of tuxedos. That, most sadly, is the story of Jim Jones as the Obama NSC advisor. First of all, let’s make it clear; Jim Jones was a fine general. He ran his commands well, was respected and liked. And, also let’s face it; you don’t get to be a four star general without some form of political prowess. However, I think Jones was outgunned and outmatched in his Advisor position from day one. It is a different game at the White House. The role of the ...

July 20th, 2009 !! NO ECONOMIC RECOVERY PLANNED !! If you’re looking forward to an economic recovery, forget it – it’s not going to happen under the present regimes of this world. These world elite have us right where they want us, and they are not going to allow us to regain the abundant life we once knew. These very same world elite have systematically shipped all of our good paying jobs overseas to third-world countries, and our present leadership in Washington D.C. have made it clear that those jobs will never return to our shores. They instead keep promising us “green jobs” which can never fill even 1% of the jobs we need. But instead of bemoaning the dire ...

Cindy Sheehan Last Modified: 07 Oct 2010 06:37 GMT Cindy Sheehan has been working tirelessly to end US occupation in Iraq and Afghanistan, motivated by social injustice, the crimes of war and most of all the passing of her son, who was killed in Iraq on April 4, 2004 [Getty] “The welfare of the people in particular has always been the alibi of tyrants, and it provides the further advantage of giving the servants of tyranny a good conscience.” - Albert Camus Recently, the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) raided the homes of at ...

A column co-authored by John Eidsmoe and Ben DuPré struck me. They titled their column, "What makes a 'great' president?" See it here. The basic thrust of the column was to examine the qualities that make one a "great" President. They start by examining the Presidency of our 11th President, James K. Polk. They note that Polk is commonly regarded as being one of America's top 12 greatest Presidents. To use their words, "between eighth and 12th among our greatest presidents." Eidsmoe and Dupré note that Polk was undoubtedly a man of outstanding Christian character and faith. They say that Polk was "the only president who kept and ...

On Monday, another small-town Mexican mayor, Gustavo Sanchez of Tancitaro, was shot dead by cartels for firing corrupt officials. It was the fifth murder of a mayor in five weeks. Since Aug. 18, Mayor Prisciliano Rodriguez of Doctor Gonzales near the Texas border, Mayor Alexander Lopez of El Naranjo near southern Texas, Mayor Marco Antonio Leal Garcia of Hidalgo in Tamaulipas state, and Mayor Edelmiro Carazos of Santiago were all killed by the criminal cartels. Another mayor-elect, Ricardo Solis of Gran Morelos, was shot in the head and chest by cartels on Sept. 24 but is still clinging to life. Six other mayors have been killed this year. In Juarez, across the river from El Paso, Texas, ...
