Liberals, progressives, fantasy peddlers … whatever you want to call today’s DC Democrats the ‘socialist’ meme is beginning to stick and stick hard. Socialists, as their name implies, love to tell everyone else how to live their lives. The left forgot America is not progressive or liberal by nature, and so when the DC Democrats […]

Update: A CBS poll shows the same pending disaster. Jim Geraghty also notes what I see, which is an across the board dip for all Dems. Those used to 70% wins face a 10% drop off. Those used to 58% wins could lose. – end update The House is all but gone to the Democrats […]

Jeff Id at The Air Vent posted this excellent summary about energy sources and why the fossil and nuclear fuels work and the so-called renewables are too limited to support our modern society. Jeff brings to the debate an understanding of the general physics behind energy use, that is important in understanding why liberal fantasies […]

Peggy Noonan is on a tear today. This is the must read article of the summer, especially this line: When Rep. Brian Baird went before his constituents in Clark County, Wash., on Aug. 18, he was met by this speech from a young man in the audience: “I heard you say that you are going […]

Some disturbing but necessary reading out there. If CA leads the country, we are heading for hell.

Last week I predicted there would be a special election in the fall for the late Robert Byrd’s seat and it would make a GOP take over of the Senate all but certain. I predicted this because if there wasn’t there would be no more Democrat party in West-By-Golly Virginia. Looks like my prediction is […]

In these days of super-slick media packaging it is too easy to hide the true essence of a person running for office. As the Democrats are now fond of admitting openly, you have to elect us (and pass our laws) before you know what you will get. Anyone remember the roman columns as “The One” […]

This is not the year to be pro government. That is the same as being pro screw-up or pro incompetence. Who cheers for the losers who rant about how great they are and then produce disaster after disaster? And as the economic suffering continues to expand (it is now lapping at our door step too) […]

Liberals run on silly fantasies. Fantasies about the great, all-knowing, all-wise government bureaucrat being the saint compared to the sinner corporations.
