This should be the next debate topic. If statistics, morality, and history are any indicators, the direction that Germany is taking will win the day. Of course, cutting government to its proper role (in the US that means its constitutional limitations), there will always be appeals for more money. Public

Fed chief Ben Bernanke defended pumping money into the economy by arguing that not only does it help “strengthen the US economic recovery, but by boosting US spending and growth it has the effect of helping support the global economy as well.” If adding fiat currency to the economy is

Equality is an unequal thing. For example, there is a difference between equality of opportunity and equality of outcome. In addition, no two people are ever equal unless they’re twins; but even here there are differences. No two people can ever perform the same job with the same result. Some

The early history of America shows that there was a battle between the individual and the community — the collective. We see this in Jamestown (1607) and Plymouth Plantation (1620). Early in their colonial history, the collective was deemed to be more important than the individual. As a result, the

The polls show a radical shift in support from Obama to Romney. The election isn’t over. There are two more debates and the inevitable “October Surprise.” Remember the release of George W. Bush’s 24-year-old DUI conviction. “The Bush DUI revelation was a hit job planted by a Democratic source that

Obama and Co. are making a big deal over comments Mitt Romney made about defunding Big Bird. “I love Big Bird,” Romney said “But I’m not going to keep on spending money on things to borrow money from China to pay for.” Our embassies are under attack, and Obama’s handlers

More than 1400 pastors stood up in their pulpits on Sunday and told the IRS, “We’re Mad at Hell and We’re not Going to take it Any More.” For nearly 60 years, the IRS and its liberal surrogates at the ACLU have threatened ministers with the lie that if they

France is about to die by its own hand. First, there’s a new wealth tax. Recently elected French President Francois Hollande proposed a budget that will raise taxes on the rich and big companies that will result in an increase of $20 billion euros ($26 billion) that includes “a levy

How do we know Romney sounds like a conservative? The media are attacking him for something he said in June that was surreptitiously recorded by, if the reports are true, Jimmy Carter’s grandson. Why would Carter’s grandson do this? It’s simple. He wants Obama to win a second term. With

The Senate race in Virginia between Tim Kaine and George Allen is getting interesting. Democrat Senate candidate Tim Kaine said that he’s open to having a “minimum tax level for everyone.” This is an admission that Mitt Romney’s statement that 47 percent of wage earners don’t pay any federal income

Job security is important to everybody. But the government didn’t come to the rescue of other companies that were failing. The government came to GM’s rescue and let other companies die because there were millions of votes at stake in the rustbelt states of Ohio and Michigan and a union

Alan Colmes, a token liberal talker on Fox News, following liberal religious talking points, claims that Jesus “believed the rich should give to the poor.” Let’s assume that Colmes’ analysis of Jesus is correct on this point. This is a far cry from saying that rich people should be taxed

Because of Godfather Politics’ large audience, we receive a lot of referral articles, websites to check out, and just some plain fun stuff that brightens our day in a time of political darkness. Somebody who’s a lot more clever than I am wrote the following. (My addition is on Bureauacritizatium.)

When Peter Schiff, CEO and chief global strategist of Euro Pacific Capital Inc., approached Vance Jones at the Democrat National Convention for an interview, Jones declined. He was smart. Undeterred, Mr. Schiff went on to interview a number of delegates about corporate profits. Their responses were shocking. Well, not really.

Watching the Democrat National Convention reminded me of two black and white films from the 1940s that mention Democrats. The first is The Heavenly Body (1944) starring Hedy Lamarr, William Powell, Nancy Potter, and James Craig. It’s about a woman (Lamarr) who’s neglected by her astronomer husband (Powell) who’s pursuing

If you use the word “Chicago,” you’re a racist. If you criticize the president about anything, you’re a racist. For the longest time, “racist” was a debate stopper. Unfortunately for the Democrats, calling everybody a racist doesn’t work anymore. With this in mind, Democrats have upped the ante by identifying

No matter who becomes president in November, he’s going to be confronted with a huge fiscal storm that no levee or dam will be able to hold back the flood waters of an insurmountable and unfathomable debt. In his review of Dinesh D’Souza’s film 2016: Obama’s America, Dr. Gary North

“The Greatest Generation” is a term coined by journalist Tom Brokaw to describe the generation that grew up in the United States during the deprivation of the Great Depression, and then went on to fight in World War II, as well as those whose productivity at home made a decisive
