“Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the capitalist system was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens. By this method they not only confiscate, but they confiscate arbitrarily; and, while the process impoverishes many, it actually enriches some. The sight of this arbitrary rearrangement of riches strikes not only at security, but at confidence in the equity of the existing distribution of wealth.” - John Maynard Keynes - The Economic Consequences of the Peace While Barack Obama vacations on Martha’s Vineyard this week ...

Democratic members of the Congressional Black Caucus are in Miami Tuesday to host a jobs fair, part of their five-city tour to draw attention to high unemployment, particularly in the black community. But at a town-hall style meeting the members held Monday night, some of the most heated talk centered not on jobs but on the tea party. "The real enemy is the tea party –- let's remember that," said Rep. Frederica Wilson of Miami Gardens, host of the meeting and jobs fair. "The tea party holds Congress hostage…They have one goal in mind, and that's to make President Obama a one-term president." She got energetic applause from the crowd of hundreds at ...
The Liberals' Reality Problem

The Liberals' Reality Problem By Ron Ross on 8.23.11 @ 6:08AM A basic problem for liberals is their rejection of and discomfort with reality. That attitude, unfortunately, creates a number of problems for them as well as for the rest of us. There is, for example, much about human nature that bothers liberals. They do not like the fact that self-interest is the prime motivator in human decision making. This is at the root of why they speak so disdainfully of profits. The profit motive makes them cringe. For liberals "profits" is a four letter word. They would prefer people to be motivated strictly by charitable impulses and altruism. Rather than recognizing that being ...

Maxine Waters: ‘The tea party can go straight to hell’

So much for dialing back the rhetoric, right? On Saturday in Inglewood, Calif., Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters had some harsh words for the tea party. “I’m not afraid of anybody,” the California congresswoman told constituents in footage that appeared on ABC affiliate KABC in Los Angeles, not backing down from comments made about President Obama earlier in the week. “This is a tough game. You can’t be intimidated. You can’t be frightened. And as far as I’m concerned — the tea party can go straight to hell.” That proclamation was met with cheers from the audience, including attendees sporting purple SEIU T-shirts.

Having failed with drowning polar bears, global superstorms, rising sea levels and a myriad of other manufactured hoaxes, global warming alarmists have invented a new threat to try and persuade us to pay carbon taxes directly to Al Gore and the global elite – vengeful environmentalist extraterrestrials from outer space. “It may not rank as the most compelling reason to curb greenhouse gases, but reducing our emissions might just save humanity from a pre-emptive alien attack, scientists claim,” according to a Guardian report. A new study conducted by researchers at Nasa’s Planetary Science Division posits that “green” ETs might get angry at Bubba driving his ...
Why Rick Perry Won't Unite the Republican Party

Conventional wisdom holds that the Texas governor can satisfy all of the right's constituencies. Actually, he gives most of them reasons to be upset.Before Gov. Rick Perry entered the race for the Republican nomination, the conventional wisdom held that unlike other candidates, he would be acceptable to every constituency on the right. Early polls confirm that GOP voters are tentatively supportive as they get to know him, his issues, and his record. But the scrutiny that comes with a presidential run often persuades voters to reconsider their initial assessments. And it is important that they do so with Perry. Information that has emerged or garnered new attention in the few days since ...

Editor's Note: This is the 10th of a series of reports from Dawn Fotopulos, an associate professor of business at The King's College, New York, about China. During our second week in China, we arrived at the outskirts of Xi'an and Beijing and saw very tall, very expensive, condo complexes rising from dozens of acres of bulldozed villages and farmland. If you owned a crane renting company in Xi'an, you'd be printing money for a living. These were 40-story (maybe taller) buildings designed in large, expansive clusters to accommodate thousands of inhabitants. But here's the strange thing. No one wanted to live in them! In China, if you live in a home, its value ...
Insider: Obama Team to Incite Race Riots; Use White Guilt in 2012 Election

Divide et Impera [divide and conquer; divide and rule] In politics and sociology, divide and rule (also known as divide and conquer) is a combination of political, military and economic strategy of gaining and maintaining power by breaking up larger concentrations of power into chunks that individually have less power than the one implementing the strategy. The concept refers to a strategy that breaks up existing power structures and prevents smaller power groups from linking up. Since riots and uprisings are now en vogue the world over and with signs that they will soon reach the shores of America, would it be that much of a stretch to suggest President Obama’s election campaign ...

But at the same time, Rep. Maxine Waters said, members of the CBC are becoming increasingly tired and frustrated by Obama's performance on the issue of jobs. Even as she expressed support for the president, Waters virtually invited the crowd to "unleash us" to ...

WASHINGTON -- President Obama is barnstorming the heartland to boost US jobs in a taxpayer-financed luxury bus the government had custom built -- in Canada, The Post has learned. The $1.1 million vehicle, one of two that Quebec-based Prevost sold the government, has been tricked out by the Secret Service with state-of-the-art security features and creature comforts. It's a VIP H3-45 model, the company's top of the line, and is used by major traveling rock bands. "That's the more luxurious model," Christine Garant of Prevost told The Post. COOL RIDE, EH! It's the only way to travel for President Obama, who is pushing American jobs -- in a Canadian-made bus. ...
DEVELOPING: Ohio Business Owner Shot For Being Non-Union, Police Investigating

DEVELOPING: Ohio Business Owner Shot For Being Non-Union, Police Investigating This is a developing story as police are still investigating the shooting of a non-union business owner, John King, by what appears to be a union assailant. With around 25 employees, John King owns one of the largest non-union electrical contracting businesses in the Toledo, Ohio area. As a non-union contractor, his business happens to be doing well at a time when unions in the construction industry are suffering. This, it seems, has made the usual animosity unions have for him even greater, making him a prime target of union thugs. So much so, that one of them tried to kill him last week at his home. John ...

California’s ‘Amazon Tax’ Already Proving a Bust by Capitol Confidential California recently instituted as part of its budget solution an “Amazon Tax” aimed at forcing out-of-state, online retailers with no physical presence in the Golden State to collect and remit sales tax in respect of goods sold to Californians where the retailer in question advertises, or maintains an “affiliate” referral relationship, with websites based within state lines. Prior to passage of the bill obligating collection and remittance in such circumstances, prominent online retailers including Amazon.com and Overstock.com had threatened to terminate relationships with ...

Hard boiling an egg isn't difficult in theory: just boil some water, add your eggs, let them boil, and take them out. So why are hard boiled eggs often so overdone that the that the yolks are chalky, or so underdone that the whites are almost runny? The answer is all in the timing and the temperature. Here's how you can cook a hard boiled egg perfectly, consistently, every time you want one. === The Traditional Method What You'll Need: The only things you'll really need to hard boil an egg are the eggs, a pot, water, and a timer. How to Get It Right Every Time Boiling an egg isn't terribly difficult, but it is the reason the egg timer was invented. You'll ...

Later this morning, we're going have a press conference with Secretary Mavis and Secretary Chu to announce something that's never happened in this country -- something that we think is exciting in terms of job growth. I should point out, when you talk about the SNAP program or the foot stamp program, you have to recognize that it's also an economic stimulus. Every dollar of SNAP benefits generates $1.84 in the economy in terms of economic activity. If people are able to ...

Ministers are drawing up controversial plans to remove benefits from those convicted of taking part in the riots that engulfed England last week, in a move Liberal Democrats and independent experts have condemned as counter-productive and overly expensive. Officials in Number 10 and the department for work and pensions are putting together plans for the harsh punishment of those found guilty of even the most minor infringements during the riots after a public petition calling for such a move gathered nearly 200,000 signatures. An adviser to Mr Duncan Smith told the Financial Times: “[Mr Duncan Smith] feels very strongly that some of these guys need to be punished.” The aide ...
Reid expects Tea Party to fade away

Can Harry Reid wait out the Tea Party? The Senate majority leader seems to think so. Reid sat down with more than 30 Review-Journal staffers Friday afternoon for an hour-long Q&A session at the newspaper's offices. The bulk of the back and forth was dedicated to federal spending and how Congress might tame exploding budget deficits. Reid blamed everything that ails Washington and the nation on Republicans. He slammed the GOP for its refusal to go along with tax increases as part of this month's debt-ceiling deal, saying hard-core fiscal conservatives are making it impossible to strike a long-term deal that slows the growth of the national debt.

George Orwell is no doubt smiling down from the heavens after witnessing last night’s Republican “debate” in Ames, Iowa. Why, you might ask? This event featured more doublethink (if not hypocrisy) than any other in recent history. Recall that Orwell defined doublethink in 1984 as “The power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them..” The Ames Debate offered several instances of this very thing, many relating directly to the Tenth Amendment. Congresswoman Bachmann, for example, has positioned herself repeatedly as a leader in the tea party, state’s rights, and Tenth Amendment movements. Asked last night ...

The Democrats' Big Lie By Victor Volsky Charles Krauthammer is doubtless one of the most astute and knowledgeable members of the conservative commentariat. But once in a while even he stumbles while trying to interpret what the far left is doing. Such was the case a few days ago when he was a guest on Bill O'Reilly's FNC show and the host was wondering, in his distinctive fashion, at the stupidity of the mainstream press, as evidenced by the latest epithet for the Tea Party -- "terrorists", and the "mindless" repetition of it on all channels. That O'Reilly, who justifiably likes to refer to himself, in mock humility, as a "simple" man ...

Imagine the gleeful chortling among their liberal readership as they envision this revelation to be a fearful blow to Perry's impending candidacy. It can't be easy to be a Democrat watching your Great Hope sinking in the quicksand with no idea of where to find a rope while the opposition has a Hollywood-handsome hero standing out there on solid Texas economic soil with a record that shows he just may know how to drain that swamp. I wonder if the folks at Huffpo have any clue as to ...

Insults, Stupid Arguments, and Lies August 8, 2011 - 7:00 am - by Andrew Klavan As the 9/11 massacre underscored the failure of the left’s multicultural worldview, so the current debt crisis highlights the failure of leftist redistributionism. In fact, leftism has failed utterly. It has failed everywhere and it has never done anything else but fail. From the murderous, leftist tyrannies of the Soviet Union and China to the soft but nonetheless oppressive and stagnant socialism of a moribund Europe, the relativist, wealth-crushing, overweening state has revealed itself to be an engine of misery and collapse. This is a disappointment to many. To those who feel they are entitled to ...

ACLU was 'DWI'Rights-group leader busted on LI These were some uncivil liberties. The executive director of the ACLU was hauled over by East Hampton cops and charged with DWI after getting sloshed while celebrating the passage of the gay-marriage law, police and other sources said. Anthony Romero, 46, was careening into oncoming traffic and onto the shoulder of Pantigo Road -- at a tortoise-like 10 mph in a 30-mph zone -- while heading back to his East Hampton condo after a night of revelry, police and sources said. A fed-up driver spotted Romero's slow-going Mini Cooper convertible at 1 a.m. June 26, and called authorities. The Princeton- and Stanford-educated lawyer ...

President Barack Obama’s announcement Tuesday of the nation’s first-ever fuel efficiency standards for commercial trucks garnered mixed reactions from trucking industry associations. The proposed rules apply to big-rigs, heavy-duty pickup trucks and vans, and vocational vehicles such as transit buses and garbage trucks built in 2014 through 2018. The White House released a statement saying the program would save about $50 billion in fuel costs, reduce oil consumption by 530 million barrels and reduce greenhouse gas pollution by about 270 million metric tons. The U.S. Department of Transportation and the Environmental Protection Agency worked with the industry to develop the ...

Pressure from above, pressure from below; It's about eviscerating the middle class by manipulating them to demand their own enslavement The riots that have gripped London and swept other major cities in the UK are the product of a diseased culture that leads to violence and mayhem which ultimately only serves to benefit the ruling elite in its bid to eviscerate the middle class by manipulating them to demand their own enslavement. Firstly, anyone who truly believes that the rioters are burning and looting to protest any legitimate grievances, at least ones that they are consciously aware of, needs their head examined. A BBC video clip features audio of a group of drunk teenage girls ...
