Oprah Knows Best
In Dinesh D’Souza’s book, Letters to a Young Conservative, D’Douza explains in layman’s terms the difference between Conservatives and liberals. At root, Conservatives and liberals see the world so differently because they have different conceptions of human nature. Liberals tend to believe in Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s proposition that human nature is intrinsically good. Conservatives know better. They recognize that there are two principles in human nature - good and evi

The Obamacare deficit scam
Image via Wikipedia Opinion Journal: Of all the claims deployed in favor of ObamaCare, and there are many, the most preposterous is that a new open-ended entitlement will somehow reduce the Budget Deficit. Insure 32 million more people, and save money too! The even more remarkable spectacle is that Washington seems to be taking this claim seriously in advance of the House's Repeal vote next week. Some things in politics you just can't make up. Terminating Trillions of dollars in future spendin...

The Political Class and the Dregs From Below Decks
Sometimes, we like to think we’ve moved beyond the overt class distinctions depicted in period films such as James Cameron’s Titanic. In a scene where passengers are being loaded into lifeboats, after it becomes apparent the massive ocean liner is doomed, the heroine’s mother clings to her outmoded sense of social propriety. Will the lifeboats be seated according to class? I hope they’re not too crowded- I was reminded of this scene while visiting Minnesota’s State Capi

Whom are you going to believe - Pelosi or your lying eyes?
It's always been ridiculous, just on the face of it, to think that the Federal Government could extend a massive entitlement to millions of people, yet spend less money doing so. But that is what the Pelosi and Obama Democrats would have you believe. The WSJ explains this once again for those who haven't been paying attention for the past year and a half.The Accounting gimmicks are legion, but we'll pick out a few: It uses 10 years of taxes to fund six years of subsidies.
