As prolongation of the 1930s Depression and stagflation in the 1970s demonstrated, Senator Obama’s announced policies are a prescription for economic disaster.
Keynesian economic doctrine, not under that name, but in substance, is back in the news in a truly menacing way. Senator Obama proposes to repeat the policies of Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal that [...]

New Orleanians born and bred in the welfare-state seem honestly believe that they are not required to do anything to help themselves.
A large number of people, most of whom apparently are residents of New Orleans, have favored me with four-letter-word denunciations of The god That Failed New Orleans.
A common allegation was that I had written [...]

A few things for the high priests of environmental paganism to ponder when they next forgather to worship their own egos.
Barton Bennett sent me a link for Dr. Walter Williams’s column reminding us how far from the truth is the junk science that flourishes like maggots in today’s cesspool of educational ignorance.

To some, Chuck Baldwin is the consummate Christian minister. To others, he’s a one-man think-tank studying, researching and analyzing the human condition within today’s American society.

Liberal-progressive environmentalists are starving the world’s poor.
Liberal-progressives are enthralled with imposing collectivist regulation to satisfy their religion’s “feel-good” agendas.

As the proposed trade agreement with Colombia reveals, labor unions are organizations of self-centered greed, which disingenuously cloak themselves with pretense of God, country, and mom’s apple pie.

Senator Clinton and the Los Angeles Times need to get their facts straight before making ignorant pronouncements.

Why did we get a massive over-building of single family homes and a plethora of bad mortgage loans?
Responding to Liberals’ Wall Street Pirouette, a reader wrote, among other observations:

I was right with you until…
“the huge overproduction of housing would not have
occurred.”
What “over-production”?
Remember: supply, demand and price balance except where
force or fraud intervene, in a theoretical [...]

Liberals blaming the takeover of Bear Stearns on capitalism is akin to blaming the homeowner if someone sets fire to his house.
Washington Post columnist E. J. Dionne, Jr. blames capitalism for the Wall Street meltdown that led to the collapse of Bear Stearns and its acquisition by J. P. Morgan Chase with financial support by [...]
