Has the time finally come to talk about racial prejudice in the current presidential race? “Prejudice” has a specific meaning. It does not mean “holding the black man down” — though it has certainly had that effect, over our history.
The Oct. 7 metting between half the presidential candidates who will be on your Nov. 4 ballot — that was two blabfests ago, if you’re counting — was dubbed a “town hall” debate, signifying that in this particular rigged show, the two halves of the incumbent Republicrat Party — no candidates who disagree with the […]
The impact of tacking the generally common-sense Sarah Palin onto the bottom of the GOP ticket has clearly not been enough to rescue John McCain from himself. First, the Alaska governor has been muzzled when it comes to debunking the idiot contention that we need to cripple our industrial economy to prevent “man-made global warming” […]
Published in Shotgun News As this is written, Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain has recently named Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate, and the bi-coastal socialist press is going after her like the final frenzied holdouts on some Japanese-occupied Pacific atoll, shrieking “Banzai!” as they level their bayonets and charge the machine […]

In recent days, the federal government has stepped in to bail out mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, while the Treasury Department took a contrasting decision to stand aside and let the Lehman Brothers investment bank seek bankruptcy protection. Another longtime Wall Street institution, Merrill Lynch, announced it will accept a discounted buyout from […]
I was speaking to a close relative the other day. He expressed a suitably cynical opinion about our current crop of politicians and the “energy crisis.” “What I think is we just don’t have enough energy, we’re never going to have enough energy, so costs are just going to continue going up and up, and […]
The trouble that Democrats and other “progressives” face in selling their economic theories is that they don’t seem to really believe them, themselves. Yes, at the federal level, there’s hypocrisy on the topic from both major parties.
