Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
With his typical clarity, Karl Rove explains that it is impossible for President Obama to stick to his “no new taxes” promises if he continues on this ruinous path of government spending: The campaign team is intent upon protecting a pledge driven by its 2008 campaign polls: Mr. Obama promised
Continue readingIf you are a young lawyer, struggling to learn what a non-responsive answer really looks like, you can’t do better than this question-and-answer session between Jake Tapper and Presidential press secretary Robert Gibbs. If Gibbs were any slicker, he’d just ooze right out of the room: TAPPER: Robert, in terms
Continue readingIn just three paragraphs, Charles Krauthammar explains all of the problems with the health care reform the President so desperately wants passed by August: President Obama premised the need for reform on the claim that medical costs are destroying the economy. True. But now we learn — surprise! — that
Continue readingDo you remember the words in my post title? I sure do, and I wasn’t even very politically aware then. That was George Bush, Sr., making a promise to the American people: “Read my lips: No new taxes.” He broke that promise. It looks as if Barack Obama is readying
Continue readingThe cat’s out of the bag now, and it’s clear that the Democrats and Obama are planning on destroying small businesses in America. This is no surprise, of course, given that small business — entrepreneurship, independence and individualism — is the antithesis of a government run marketplace: In the middle
Continue readingIn his most recent article at the Wall Street Journal, Karl Rove explains in great detail how Barack Obama told quite obvious lies about the stimulus numbers, only to pretend now that he didn’t really mean what he said. (That’s the lying pattern I’ve told you about.) The American people

Continue readingMelissa Clouthier has a nice post about the tax freedom tea parties planned all over America for this coming Wednesday. After addressing (and pretty much dismissing) some concern from those on the Right about the motivations behind the tea parties, she has this lovely paragraph about the worry from the
Continue readingMary Katharine Ham caught John Kerry finally admitting what Democrats fear most of all: that people will take control over their own destinies, without the elite in government dictating how their hard earned money should be spent. Perhaps if Kerry had ever held a real job and earned the money
Continue readingI like the way Drudge tends to snapshot trends. Here’s an interesting one, considering the looming deficits federal, state and local governments face: What’s missing from the above list, of course, is CUTS. Lawmakers are figuring out as hard and as fast as they can ways to drain more money
Continue readingWhen I outspend my budget,* I have to make drastic cuts in my expenditures. Sadly, I cannot march into my boss and announce that he must immediately give me a huge raise to cover the shortfall. Fortunately for those in government, because they have the rare ability to boss around
Continue readingI suspect that, once Obama starts raising taxes, buyer’s remorse is going to set in with incredible speed. This article focuses on the local economy, but is a harbinger of what will happen when taxes go up on a larger, national scale: A temporary 1.5 percentage point sales tax increase
Continue readingBecause the video’s creator cut in footage from Penn & Teller, there’s a fair amount of swearing, but it’s still a good video: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=491_5WxfcgI[/youtube]
Continue readingI’m no economist, but I can do basic math, and I’ve watched European countries over the last 40 years. I figured out that taxing 50% of the country so that it supports the other 50% is a mistake. Adam Lerrick uses intelligent language to explain why.
Continue readingKimberley Strassel does a completely masterful job of debunking the illusion supporting Obama’s supposed economic policy: And now, America, we introduce the Great Obama! The world’s most gifted political magician! A thing of wonder. A thing of awe. Just watch him defy politics, economics, even gravity! (And hold your applause
