Why do you believe what Obama says?

If you believe Obama, I'll sell you the Brooklyn Bridge

In 1951, the movie Royal Wedding was released, starring Fred Astaire and Jane Powell. One of the catchy tunes in the movie was a song entitled: “How Could You Believe Me When I Said I Loved You, When You Know I’ve Been a Liar All My Life?”

Margaret Thatcher, RIP

Margaret Thatcher tours the Kennedy Space Center

This morning, Margaret Thatcher died of a stroke. She was 87. She did more in one lifetime than most people might do if they had two. Only if Western people can appreciate what she did, can they save themselves from the sort of tyranny she fought against.

Sequester: boon to green energy?

Will the sequester make these a rarity? Not necessarily, says a smart executive.

De facto President Obama insists on making the “sequester” hurt as much as possible. Or so he thinks. But one executive, in an industry that takes many government subsidies, doesn’t want any more. In fact, he says the government should get out of the subsidy business. That, he says, would force his industry to concentrate on fundamentals, not on playing political games.

Atlas Shrugged Part 3 Will Shoot

Statue of Atlas, that became the cover illustration for Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand.

The producers of the two Atlas Shrugged movies made it official this week. Atlas Shrugged, Part 3, will release to theaters next summer. The producers face a challenge: how to keep their series relevant. Have the American people turned their backs on the American work ethic and all the inalienable rights to life, liberty and property? The producers of Atlas Shrugged are betting that they haven’t.

Cyprus rejects deposit seizure

Gold coins. Will gold and silver coin replace paper money soon?

The parliament of Cyprus today said a big ΟΧΙ! – Ochi! – NO! – to the European Union’s demand to tax bank demand deposits for tribute. But by even thinking of such a step, the EU and the government of Cyprus have done damage neither side can repair. They have broken faith with every man, woman and child who has “money in the bank,” whether that bank be in Cyprus, or elsewhere in Europe, or here in the United States of America.

Bernanke sets up a crash

Ben_Bernanke

Don’t let that nice, comfortable grandfatherly look on Mr. Bernanke’s face fool you. He is as evil and destructive as George Soros and all the anti-American projects he funds. For those of us who have religious backgrounds the words “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do” can soften our hearts for those that have done wrong in an attempt to do right.

Communism and Socialism: Thanks, Dad!

Vladimir Lenin, shouting "Forward!" Obama imitates him.

I remember sitting in class one day in 1963. It was a time when the cold war was at its height and fear of a nuclear attack loomed in the back of everyone’s mind – including the children. We all knew that the threat was coming directly from the Communists – specifically the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The day I specifically remember was a day that my teacher taught us about Communism.

Maxine Waters and other con artists

Rep. Maxine Waters

Last week we posted the facts about the sequester. This week the political hysteria continues as the media, Fox News included, and big government leftists march forward with fear tactics and just plain lies. Then, Maxine Waters, who actually is dumber than Joe Biden, announced that the cuts in government growth will cost 170 million jobs. Someone may like to point out to this jewel of colossal ignorance, America only has 140 million people working right now. Which by the way is about 2 million less than when the usurper took office.

Sequestration: more lies-deception-corruption from Obama

The sequestration is Obama's idea and might not be this dire.

As March 1st looms closer and closer and the dreaded automatic government spending cuts (Sequestration) begin to kick in, the fear mongering, the deception and the out an out lies smothering the American people like swamp swill are beginning to reach a crescendo.

Makers and Takers: Samuel and Hussein

Squirrels can teach us much about makers and takers

Editor’s note: Ever notice that the best way to teach moral principles to a child is to use anthropomorphized animal characters? What if two real, live animals acted out their own morality play for a little boy? Don’t laugh: it happened. Our newest contributor shows how two squirrels illustrated beautifully the concept of makers and takers.
