A recent link by a contributor to the blog was made to the far left site, American Progress, about the cost that enforcing immigration laws, i.e. detaining and deporting illegals, is detrimental (“a disaster”) to local, state and national economies. To wit: American Progress makes ten arguments, each of which either references another left wing…
Recently, the Connecticut ACLU has been squawking about the fact that they can’t get racial profiling data from the police. According to the CT News Junkie site, the Conn. ACLU is protesting that “there was a failure and refusal to fulfill the obligations” of the Alvin Penn Racial Profiling Prohibition Act. According to this site,…
Regardless of how I feel about Romney, the drubbing he received for his now infamous bet of $10,000 with Rick Perry during one of the debates was pretty typical of how Republicans, particularly wealthy ones, are treated in the press. What is also typical is how the latest royal vacation of Øbama and family is…
I chanced to read a blog post on the Huffington Daily Brief, titled The real attack on the spirit of Christmas comes from the right wing by Robert Creamer. Hidden within the falderal about how pro-Christmas the White House and Democrats in general are, a few gems reveal themselves: Creamer’s definition of of what it means…
Driving home tonight, I had some thoughts on today’s announcement of the unionization of Connecticut daycare workers and personal care attendants for the disabled and senior citizens: Did all 6,200 care workers actually receive ballots? Were they alerted about the importance and arrival of the ballots ahead of time? Did they all know that it…
While some will say that the complaints about ØBAMACARE (I am making this Øbama’s trademark, since there is a move to restrict the use of the term in political advertising) are “future hypotheticals”, there are aspects of ØBAMACARE that are occurring as we speak, and they do not bode well. The Wall St. Journal recently…
I just read an article at the Weekly Standard blog describing the comments made by MSNBC analyst Karen Finney: One of the things about Herman Cain is, I think that he makes that white Republican base of the party feel okay, feel like they are not racist because they can like this guy,” Finney said. “I…
While we watch the protesters of Occupy Wall St. march to the houses of prominent bankers (but not prominent Democrat financiers like George Soros), whining about, well, something, we need to let recent history be our guide. I looked through my archives and found this little tidbit from the 2008 LA Times: Democrats are the…
Maureen Dowd (MoDo) recently wrote an article titled “The few, the dumb, the proud” designed primarily to disparage current Republican front runner Rick Perry. She also manages to take a few partisan swipes at the intelligence, or at least school records, of George W. Bush, Newt Gingrich, Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann. Much of this may…
Whither goest Great Britain, so goest the United States? Great Britain is increasingly becoming a small laboratory of extremist socialist engineering, a microcosm of where the liberal Democrats here want this country to go. Think about it: welfare, single payer medicine, immigration, gun control, taxation and political correctness. A Democrat’s utopia. Now think about how…
