See?  Unions protect the little guy from corporate fat cats who otherwise would somehow skirt the laws of labor supply and demand and keep gritty, noble, working class heroes trapped in sweat shops, unable ever to rise and achieve the American Dream. After which they become part of the rich, and part of the problem.  Or something to that effect.  Honestly, trying to navigate through progressive “logic” is like trying

As my last post on this topic sparked a spirited debate here in our right-wing echo chamber, where no dissent is ever brooked and we all walk in ideological lockstep in order to oppress minorities and the poor through racism, sexism, nativism, and homophobia — all while looking to poison the air and water and cause suffering in autistic children and the elderly in pursuit of a constant, monocle-clad greed

Which naturally means the President of the United States should interfere with the state’s attempts at reforming a broken public sector union that is draining Michigan of resources and preventing any real reform to education. Because he’s for the children.  And, as it happens, for those public sector employees who essentially hold the state hostage during each “collective bargaining” go round — vs those who wish to opt out of

And why shouldn’t they be? After all, you think sitting around coming up with ways to force erstwhile free people to live, molding and nudging and re-engineering through regulations on donuts or ladder slat width or low flow toilets, is easy or inexpensive?   These people got skillz, jack! IBD: In the 1,420 days since he took the oath of office, the federal government has daily hired on average 101 new

The Democrats and their union allies are making threats and calling on the President Obama to punish Michigan if it passes the “right to work” law. The ever wonderful (union bought and paid for) Harry Reid weighs in. Who knew that [forcing union dues on those who don’t want to join a union] is a matter of free speech, and that only unions stand between you and a nurse who

Just because a guy has a really sweet beard, a pleasing drawl, and is all decked out in camo doesn‘t mean his willingness to trade you “25 delicious squirrel tacos” for “a quick go at your wife” is a good deal. — Although it doesn’t mean it isn’t, either. You’re a free man.  Weigh your options.

My, but this argument does sound so very familiar somehow. I just wish I could place where I’ve heard it before… For libertarians, Christian conservative pro-lifer Jim DeMint was the best thing to come through the Senate in decades. DeMint, quitting early to run the conservative Heritage Foundation, embodied an underappreciated fact of life in Washington: The politicians who most consistently defend economic liberty are the cultural conservatives. The National

Politico: A new report by the intelligence community projects that the United States will no longer be the world’s only superpower by 2030. “In terms of the indices of overall power – GDP, population size, military spending and technological investment – Asia will surpass North America and Europe combined,” the report concludes. “Global Trends 2030: Alternative Worlds” — prepared by the office of the National Intelligence Council of the Office

In fact, what he wants is for the Executive to have control over the debt ceiling — though he’s willing to give Congress a 2/3 override veto, which is quite generous of a despot.  Or, to put it another way, Obama has decided the Constitution has it wrong, that separation of powers hinders the inevitable forward movement of history and progress by throwing out-dated road blocks in the way of
