Free kibbles

Obama makes Sotomayor change her story and say there is only one law for everybody. Supposedly that's just a clarification, but in fact its just the opposite of what she said about a wise Latino woman being a better judge than a white man.

Since illegal aliens tend to be Hispanic, Obama's Justice Department calls Georgia's program to ferret out illegal alien voters discriminatory. This is a sign of things to come from Obama. Any program that targets illegal aliens will naturally end up catching mostly Hispanics, and Obama will attack it as discriminatory. What a crock.

Here's how the GM bankruptcy should have gone. It didn't go this way because Obama wanted to nationalize GM, contrary to what he keeps telling everybody. If Obama didn't want to own GM, the government would not own GM.

"The basic argument of lower taxes, lower personell costs, and a larger labor pool and air connections probably were deciders [for NCR]." Ohio implemented the income tax in 1972, and NCR moved 10s of thousands of jobs out of Dayton in the early 1970s. This can't be coincidence. This website says Georgia's income tax is higher than Ohio's.

Congress teaming up with states to tax sales on the internet. That will harm our economy and ultimately reduce revenue.

Bernanke and Obama's destruction of the dollar is causing Russia and China to consider an alternative one-world currency.

After Obama's $787 billion stimulus boondoggle, which was supposed to go for infrastructure, Obama is demanding $17 billion more to maintain roads and bridges. The audacity of theft. How long are Americans going to put up with this crap? This gives new meaning to the term highway robbery.

Government is going to use our tax dollars to buy people's junk cars. Only government (and liberals) would consider this a good idea.

Barack Obama shows rare honesty when he admits he called Bill Clinton a bald-faced liar.

1950 essay explains:
And while you fortunate Americans will last a little longer than the rest of us, your doom is also assured if you, like us, rely upon politics and collective action to relieve you of the normal and natural responsibilities of healthy men. For socialism is not a system; it is a disease. The "something for nothing" mentality is, in fact, an economic cancer.
...
Well-meaning, shallow thinking, kindly people, aware of the scriptural injunction that "the greatest of these is charity," have failed to notice the distinction between the real article and the giving away of other people's money.
...
Most thinking people among us now realize that while it is easy to make the rich poor, it is quite another matter to make the poor rich.
...
It is only now that we are beginning to reap the inevitable fruits of wrong thinking. Millions of our people now look to the government much in the same fashion that their fathers of Victorian times looked to God. Political authority has taken the place of heavenly guidance.
...
Perhaps, above all, I am an individualist because it makes for honesty. In a society of free men, each acting on his own responsibility, honesty is the best policy. But as we move further from the individualist position into compulsory associations, unions, districts, counties, nations, and states, we tend to lose touch with that essentially personal quality — honesty. Honesty may be described as a force governing dealings between individuals. When the transactions are between masses, they tend to become less honest; when between nations, there is, indeed, little pretense of honesty about them. That simple circumstance arises not from evil intent but from the very nature of man's conduct.
...
You happy people in the comparatively cleaner atmosphere of the United States are better able to recognize these greater, all-pervading considerations. And you are in a better position to reverse this mad rush to turn persons into robots by means of the "planned economy" and the "welfare state." May God guide you in your decision.
What a fantastic essay. What we're experiencing is not new. It's just another repeat of what has happened many times in history and will repeat again in the future when a society adopts a collectivist mentality over individual freedom. But it's not inevitable. We have the power to fix this problem by rejecting collectivism, rejecting government control of our lives and embracing freedom.

Lew Rockwell reminds us, "There can be no question that we would have been out of this recession by now had the politicians not intervened."
We are a generation that proudly shows off its accomplishments in all areas of science, and we preen about our love of facts and our detachment from mythology. Yet our culture is imbued with the most ridiculous faith in government to turn stones into bread, to accomplish miracles with a printing press before our very eyes. This is the age of folly.
Well said.

High ranking British cabinet member resigns and calls for PM Brown to resign also.

IP and fantasy sports.

Harry Reid not only admits he supports Sotomayor without reading any of her opinions, he hopes he never has to read one. That dereliction of duty.

Another Sotomayor quote says she thinks a wise woman would make better decisions than a wise man. I don't know why Boortz thinks nothing of this.

Greenspan, the man famous so famous for bailouts they earned their own knickname: the Greenspan put, suddenly is against bailouts.

Obama the narcissist used the word "I" 34 times and "law" zero when announcing GM's bankruptcy. Obama will learn to hide this aspect of his narcissism over time.

Aristocrats are considering layering a VAT over our existing tax monstrosity.

Obama grossly lies about America being a big Muslim nation.

Nobody can know whether or not Obama's stimulus boondoggle created or saved any jobs because there's no way to measure it, so Obama and his press allies are shamelessly lying about how many jobs it saved and people are buying it.

Unions are jumping on Pharaoh Obama and Lord Geithner's illegal powers to fire board members to call for the firing of board members of Wall Street firms to transform those companies to the advantage of the unions.
