This post will be quick, simply some news items from the last few weeks. No theme, just information.
Is this piece from the Associated Press a sneak peek into one possible future for America? Just substitute “Obama” for “Chavez” and yes, I think it is if the democrat party maintains control of Congress in 2011. In Venezuela they have tried Socialism for a decade. It does not look like a system that works for the many as it is advertised. Capitalism and free markets are the solution.

By now we know the full story of why the housing bubble burst. At least you should if you have conducted your own research and gotten past the democrat and parroted media line of “it was Bush’s fault!” Yes, the Bush Administration and the republicans shoulder some of the blame. But simply put, the collapse was really the result of the progressive ideology run wild; to bring “affordable housing” to those people most unable to afford to own a home. This piece from The American lays out the background and an argument with the left’s Paul Krugman, who is supposedly an economist…

Here is an op-ed that may relate to the Chavez story. Moral: it’s not the President or the governments purpose to “create jobs”.

I really hope that the next op-ed turns out to be true.

Interesting videos for you this week. 1) Michael Moore and Bill Marr continue to act like the fools they are. This is what, a comedy or a news show? A frightening aspect of this video is to hear the applause after some of Moore’s comments, assuming it is not canned. 2) Remember, all of the anger, insensitivity and violence is on the Right, not the peace loving left? We know that is a lie and this video is just the latest evidence. 3) One of Obama’s Zombies at a recent meeting with Dear Leader. Obama cannot even fill a hall with his fans any longer; they are all “too exhausted”. Of course the answer to her question, “it this my new reality?” is yes, if the democrats maintain power. 4) A revealing video of Howard Dean outlining how to use the “pivot” to change the subject and stay away from truth when speaking. Don’t answer questions, just change the subject and propagandize. Yea, that’s the answer to our country’s problems…

And I offer this to you for what it is worth:

They call themselves “non-partisan” but I doubt it. According to the National Bureau of Economic Research the recession actually ended June 2009. Tell that to the millions of those citizens who are either underemployed or unemployed. The unemployment rate is estimated to be 18%, if people that gave up looking are included in the tally. The democrat machine continues to wreak havoc on private sector job growth and looks to continue this trend into the near future.

On a more positive note I provide this New York Post column. After Thursday, the republicans are no longer just the “party of no”. If you have not seen it, check out the Pledge to America. Not a perfect document by a long shot, but a decent starting point. And if the democrats say it is not specific enough, a reminder of what the deranged Nancy Pelosi said concerning ObamaCare (and I paraphrase), “We will have to pass the bill to find out what is in it”, or some such nonsense.

While “climategate” and other recent revelations of leftist bias revealed the hypocrisy and political agenda behind climate change dogma, some ask if it is possible to study the subject in an objective manner.

This last article is a long piece, but I highly recommend it if you wish to gain a better historical understanding of how and why the Constitution has been successfully watered down and ignored by the progressives.

Well, that’s all for now; signing off for this post. Take care.
