Free kibbles

ECONOMY:

This is an old quote, but it never gets old: Obama blaming innovation, ATMs and the internet, for unemployment.

TAX AND SPEND:

Now the Justice Department is intimidating, I mean investigating, S&P.

Supposed Republican tax cutter supports keeping gas taxes high. With supposed friends like these...

Republican on super-congress supports raising taxes. Of course he does. The point of the super-congress was to raise taxes, so Boehner and McConnell appointed Republicans who would support that.

The government racket of failed central plans applied to stimulus.

Comparison of Obama's policies to FDR's. We're repeating the mistakes of the past.

All the emergency EU meetings over PIIGS debt are worthless. They will default.

David Stockman, the former Reagan budget director who resigned because Reagan didn't want to cut spending, praises Ron Paul as the only Republican who knows what he's talking about on government spending, the Fed and the economy.

FEDERAL RESERVE:

The Fed is paying banks to not lend money.

Fed policy is keeping Americans from making the capital investments that would boost our economy.

HEALTH CARE:

Don't bother calling the USDA to find out about farm regulations.

GLOBAL WARMING AND ENERGY:

Did you ever wonder how far the media would go in their campaign of alarmism over global warming?

"Watching from afar, extraterrestrial beings might view changes in Earth's atmosphere as symptomatic of a civilisation growing out of control – and take drastic action to keep us from becoming a more serious threat, the researchers explain."

You can't make this stuff up.

POLICE STATE:

Praise for vigilantism. Our justice system has nothing to do with justice.

I do not understand parents who subject their children to TSA groping.

DHS hiding information about its mobile X-ray machines.

Police beat and kill a man for no reason. Their subsequent actions show that the US is a police state.

WAR:

More evidence that Pakistani forces supported the SEAL assassination of Osama bin Laden and new evidence a Pakistani intelligence officer discovered bin Laden and gave his location to the US government agents in hopes of collecting the $25 million reward.

FOREIGN POLICY:

Claim that unrest in Syria is being fomented by western intelligence agencies just like in Libya.

POLITICS:

Rick Perry doesn't like questions about his record on spending and debt. Better description of the encounter and of Perry's record of spending and debt. Perry's working the beltway crowd for funds, just like you'd expect. Bank of America backs Perry. Rick Perry is benefiting from his heated up rhetoric, which I've long advocated, but it's just a bunch of sound-bites. He doesn't seem to understand the economy or the Fed, he just knows how to wield a sound-bite for maximum effectiveness. He's not informing. He's not educating, and I don't think he can. And I'm not the only one who noticed.

Ron Paul reaches double digits, 14 percent, in New Hampshire, surpassing Michelle Bachmann. If New Hampshire is as libertarian as advertised, why does Mitt Romney have such a huge lead?

Katherine Mangu-Ward, the supposedly libertarian editor for Reason magazine, calls Ron Paul unelectable. With supposed friends like these...

Bachmann has to be disappointed with her margin of victory in Ames, but not with the subsequent media coverage.

Interesting analysis of Romney's quandary.

I'm happy Obama and Congress are on vacation. While they're on vacation they don't do any more damage.

The primary function of the modern president is to be fund-raiser-in-chief. The government runs itself.

MEDIA:

The Washington press doesn't want to talk about Ron Paul, but they want to hear him. He's the only candidate who sold out his speech to them, and he doesn't speak until October.

The Pew media center documents the news blackout about Ron Paul.

George Stephanopoulos, former Bill Clinton political appointee turned supposedly unbiased journalist, calls companies that move jobs overseas to escape high US tax rates unpatriotic.

Russia Today gives Ron Paul favorable coverage. I'm sure the Russian government would love for the US to shut down all its foreign bases.

LOCAL:

City government to steal more of our money using red-light cameras and removing tax credits. Do you think they'll tax us into prosperity?

MISC:

This article does a pretty good job of explaining how bad Mike Brown is. Please, Bengals fans, boycott this loser so he'll leave Cincinnati and we can get a real football team.


Water is a scarce resource, and as such it should be traded on a free market guided by prices.


I don't think US riots will be the worst in the world because rioters don't want to get shot.
