In which philosophical form of government does Barack Obama believe? That has been one of the ongoing debates since he burst upon the national political scene a scant four years ago.

THE MORALITY OF CAPITALISM
Feb 7
While penning this ode to capitalism I peered out my window onto my garden. It was in its final days of full flower and the dynamics of its beauty caused my mind to drift into a pensive state. I found myself enthralled by the luminous emerald green grass, the strength and dignity of the mighty [...]

IOWA STUDENTS BEING TAUGHT THE VIRTUES OF COMMUNISM OVER CAPITALISM Students at Des Moines, Iowa’s Roosevelt High School have been learning about the Cold War this semester.

The Bain Of Our Existence? Hardly! – Guest Submission
Jan 14
- By: J.J. Jackson – I cannot help it. I have to defend Mitt Romney from idiocy. Yes, I know the man is a RINO. However even a RINO deserves to be defended when the attacks against him are unwarranted and so utterly crackpot in nature that they fly in the face of reality. Unless [...]

Jan 9
This gallery contains 1 photo.
Kodak is going under after a hundred years as the beating heart of photography in much of the world. Like the makers of buggy whips and all others who fail to face and master new technology, the film giant has fallen into bankruptcy, a hapless victim of digital picture-making. But shed no tears for this [...]

Oct 19
This gallery contains 3 photos.
They eat pretty high on the hog, at least two are exhibitionists, they have a problem with the thieves among them, they’re gettimg a pass on their public anti-semitism and excepting Saturdays when the crowds come in, they’re a (rather small) bunch of wierdos. One was busted for exposing himself to kids in Seattle; another [...]
Dave’s Quote of the Day
“The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.”

It’s All on the 990
Sep 30
Please, consider this as somewhat of a public service announcement from someone who has worked in non-profit most of a career: Most of it is pretty profitable and the people pouring cash into them really don’t have the best interests of anyone but themselves at heart, no matter what the ads say. (Shocking, isn’t it?) [...]
America’s Wealth Machine: In Reverse!
Sep 29
This gallery contains 5 photos.
Once, North America was enriched by skilled ex-European workers benefitting from cheap resources, energy and transport, unconstrained by government and freed of the limits imposed by the frozen-in-place societies they left behind. Government not only left them alone; it encouraged education, agriculture, mining and transportation with cheap land. Wealth was created like never before in [...]
Hello, you must be an Objectivist
Sep 18
I have noticed that a couple of Objectivists have appeared on the scene and that is a good thing. It is good because they at least respect logic and do attempt to be rational, they are really the most honest liberals we have and true confession time, I used to be one. Having said that [...]
