Schiff or the Laughers?
Peter Schiff – CNBC – Kudlow & Company – 7/2/2007
Peter Schiff- Bulls & Bears – 12/16/2006
What’s amazing about this is that these people actually sound more ignorant than Republicans in Congress who tried to fix Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Bailout failure ‘will cause US crash’
The US stock market could suffer a devastating crash with shares losing a third of their value this week if Hank Paulson’s financial bailout plan fails, US Treasury officials have warned.
Wow, the President can’t even start a real financial panic. That’s got [...]

Exhibit… the only exhibit needed.
America has survived a feckless political class in the past, and it will again after this week. But Monday’s crash and burn of the Paulson plan on Capitol Hill reveals a Washington elite that has earned every bit of the disdain that Americans have for it. This crowd can’t even make [...]

More descent into Banana Republic.
Here is the legislation. It is explicitly comprehensive sex education and it is explicitly aimed at kindergartners as well as older children. Obama voted for comprehensive sex education for kindergartners. If it was only due to the predator issue, that’s fine. But the legislation is not limited to that at all.
See [...]

The PC objection to Peter’s observation about two-income households is a hoot.

Governor candidate’s debate from Alaska
Putting election politics aside, does anyone else feel like this is a scene from a story about a moon-colony under the dominion of an earth empire?

Follow up on this post.
The Gateway Pundit has news here and here. The “McCain did it too” defense is insane. By definition I would know about it because it would have been a big news push to intimidate the other side. That was “The Obama Truth Squads” unique deed. And even th ought they clean [...]

I live in an aspiring banana republic. They actually call themselves the Barack Obama Truth Squad, just in case you thought this was a non-partisan threat.

But hey. I hear Sarah Palin once asked about removing some offensive books from a public library. So she’s dangerous.
UPDATE: Maybe I [...]

This is the news. And this is the modest proposal. Main Street and everyone in it exists to serve the Wall Street money machine. The ants only win in animated kids movies.

I don’t think the word double-standard is large enough. The accusations people struggle to make about Palin don’t even compare. I wonder how many dead Chicagoans will be voting for Obama in November?

Do you find this video shocking? I do. I am shocked to learn there is still a statute that requires ruitual obeisance to the American flag. Didn’t the Supreme Court settle this in the flag burning controversy [...]

When you are trudging along as a member of one of the two major parties, you pretty much expect to be less than fully enchanted by who the party selects to run for the Presidency or any other office. You are realistic and figure that the guy is probably better than the other one.
So, [...]

As I pass through my incarnations in every age and race,
I make my proper prostrations to the Gods of the Market-Place.
Peering through reverent fingers I watch them flourish and fall,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings, I notice, outlast them all.
We were living in trees when they met us. They showed us each in [...]

He didn’t believe in the magic money god:
We are now taught to believe that legerdemain tricks upon paper can produce as solid wealth as hard labor in the earth. It is vain for common sense to urge that nothing can produce but nothing; that it is an idle dream to believe in a philosopher’s stone [...]

I guess if the Nazis had allowed the killing of the unfit individually, without coercive taxation and government mandates, then it would have been defensible according to the arbitrary bloodlust articulated by the alleged “Center for the Advancement of Capitalism”:
So in the anti-abortion advocate’s eyes, a parent’s desire to raise healthy children by squelching unhealthy [...]
