Economically, it was naïve. Trying to solve pricing problems on the other side of the world through our shopping choices may make us feel better, but it is unlikely to have much effect, except possibly to make the situation worse. Basic economics tells us that the usual reason prices for a particular commodity are low [...]
The local 97.1 right-wing radio personality decided to tell anyone who is not on the street protesting that they should go to hell with the Leftists because they are part of the problem.
Her message was that, if you are too busy making a living, then you are morally compromised.
So the paid activist who makes a [...]
Someone just called Rush Limbaugh because Rep. Jason Altmire allegedly said, regarding the “Health care” bill that he couldn’t worry about what was going to happen thirty years from now.
The person was outraged, but this is simply the nature of democratic governance. It puts people in power who have no more long-term interest in the [...]

The year was 2005, and Republicans needed to raise the US debt limit in order to cover the costs of their increased spending. The GOP used a self-executing rule to protect both Republicans and Democrats in the House from having to take an embarrassing vote to increase the national debt rather than start paying [...]

In my view, the moral problem at the root of socialism is actually not envy, as many libertarians contend. I grew up among socialists, and they were by far motivated by honorable concerns: a sense of injustice, grief for the poor, compassion. (I’m not talking here about the more political activists, some of whom do [...]

The State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) is a partnership between federal and state governments that was created in 1997—thanks to a Republican majority in Congress. It provides federally-funded health insurance to children in families with incomes too high to qualify for Medicaid.
Funding for the program was due to expire in March of this year. [...]
I have been sending folks out of the country for medical help for some time now. (Thailand and India). You would not believe the royal level of service received or the price as opposed to here in the States.

Mark: “Census came in the mail today. Why don’t we just throw it away?”
Jennifer: “I think that will just mean we get a low-wage temporary employee at our door being nosy.”

These, then, are examples of outstanding and unusually wealthy men. None of them enjoyed any titles or fiefs, gifts, or salaries from the government, nor did they play tricks with the law or commit any crimes to acquire their fortunes. They simply guessed what course conditions were going to take and acted accordingly, kept a [...]
Why are job losses so much worse than first thought? It’s due to the savage nature of a recession that has shredded jobs in California.

I love that quotation because it demonstrates so perfectly the delusions that are taken for granted.
Recessions are never “savage” or “mild.” Such explanations are meaningless. [...]

So then, Ron Paul was the surprise winner of the CPAC presidential straw poll, and herein lies a lesson . . . for somebody. He came in first by a long shot, Romney second, and Palin third. It may soon start to sink in on establishment republicants, who want to “harness” all that tea party [...]
YouTube – Audi 2010 Green Car Super Bowl Commercial.
The fact that Audi believes this ad reaches their customer base is a good thing. It means they know the population hates the coming slavery and wants it to not happen.
But it also shows us Audi’s business model: the government is going to punish people who don’t [...]
From Steve Wedgeworth:
Wright states:
The natural world, in this case, would be autonomous or free of God’s law, so that people could make their own rules as they go about their lives and work. Moreover, this talk of spiritual life and Luthardt’s general emphasis on morality seem to demonstrate charges that Luthardt reduced Christianity to a [...]
