Our critics are not pleased, but I hope we’ll be forgiven this small observation: The spendthrifts who mangled America with the nightmare of double-digit inflation, record interest rates, unfair tax increases, too much regulation, credit controls, farm embargoes, gas lines, no-growth at home, weakness abroad, and phony excuses about “malaise,” are the last people who [...]
Don’t have time and too busy.
But if fascination with the collapse of …. a lot of things still to be determined in extent sometimes gives way to fear, here’s something. Just because God’s taking down a lot of people doesn’t mean you or your family will be included:
Do not be afraid of sudden terror
or of [...]
Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,
Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,
Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs
And towards our distant rest began to trudge.
Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots
But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
Of disappointed shells [...]
Democracy is just fine until it overturns our juciarchical pretentions, then we turn into raving, deranged bullies.

Fellow Americans,
Please know: I am black; I grew up in the segregated South. I did not vote for Barack Obama; I wrote in Ron Paul’s name as my choice for president. Most importantly, I am not race conscious. I do not require a black president to know that I [...]
I’ve got a draft for this blog about positive changes I hope Obama will make due to his unique stature in American history. I’ll try to get that finished some time. But meanwhile, this anecdotal report indicates that the “conservative” response to Obama will be
to demand he be as militaristic as possible overseas
to laud and [...]
The fact that we are even talking about bailing out American auto makers, let alone actually going to do it, is an atrocity to all economic and political sense. Here’s an example of what passes for rational discourse these days==Peter Schiff playing the role of Socrates among the sophists.
Free give aways at a library led me to scoop up some back issues of Business Week. You gotta read this article about Paulson coming into the office of Secretary of Treasurer.

Here is a great song about the Public School system. Imagine how much more powerful a tool may be put in the hands of the federal government with activist recruitment work programs.

Ever since the advent of representative government placed the ultimate power to direct the administration of public affairs in the hands of the people, the primary instrument by which the few have managed to plunder the many has been the sophistry that persuades the victims that they are being robbed for their own benefit. The [...]
Campaign handlers need to campaign against her, and I suspect the moderate GOPs who gave us McCain do to.
(My initial interpretation of what happened was completely bogus. See Chris’ correction below).

Enter this bit of data for whether Obama will govern centrist or hard left. He’s seriously considering Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. for the cabinet position of head of the EPA. RFK has said that people who disagree with his line on global warming are traitors and should be treated as such (see also here). Furthermore, if [...]
Everyone needs to give thanks to Obama for getting out the African American vote in California and thus getting Proposition 8 to pass. If it had been up to Whites, the attempt to protect marriage from “fundamental transformation” would have failed.
In fact, homosexual marriage doesn’t seem to have a red state/blue state divide. It just [...]
I was going to try to write something, but I doubt I would say it this well. God bless these United States and the Presidency of Barack Obama. May he be used to bring justice and peace.

What path you ask?
1988: I am old enough to vote for President in the national election. I vote for Ron Paul. Don’t want any part in the Bush Abdication (the only way to characterize his administration in the wake of the Reagan Revolution).
1992: Who cares? Don’t bother to vote.
1996: Again.
2000: Actually kind of cared about [...]
