USA Today published a front-page article about the voting generation gap: “The Underlying Duel of 2012: Seniors vs. Millennials.” There has always been a generation gap. Young people grow up as socialists. In most homes, children are handed everything. Their food, shelter, clothing, cell-phone plans, cars, and educations are paid

When mayors of major cities came out and said that they would deny a business license to Chick-Fil-A because of the beliefs of the president of the company, I wondered if the ACLU would get involved. While the ACLU supports homosexual marriage, and I suspect will also support transgender and

A post on Facebook got me shaking my head. How misinformed can some people be? It began with a reference to an article about the “super rich” followed by the following Bible verse: “But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and

The first reason is easy: Barack Obama. It is shocking to think that a Marxist could ever be president of the United States. But it happened. People always ask, “How could those people have sat back while ________________ came to power. That could never happen here.” Well, it did happen

Big-City mayors are attacking Chick-fil-A by threatening to deny them a business license to operate. These liberal mayors don’t like the public stand the owners have taken on defending biblical marriage. This is tyranny of the first order. First it was punishment for “hate crimes,” then it was for “hate

When President Obama said “You didn’t build that,” millions of Americans objected. But since there are fewer business owners than those who work for a business owner, the President most likely scored some points with the electorate. Everything he says is calculated to appeal to his base. Conservatives didn’t help

In response to attacks by the powerful and offensive homosexual lobby, friends of Chick-fil-A are promoting National Eat at Chick-fil-A Day on July 25th and August 1st. I’ll be there on both days. In fact, all the employees at our various businesses will be eating at Chick-fil-A the next two

The new Batman film is getting a lot of attention. The Obama regime was hoping to play off Batman’s movie nemesis Bane because it sounds like Romney’s Bain Capital. Now we learn that the film is more about the Occupy Wall Street Crowd. I’ll have to take you back to

Politicians believe that taxes and regulations are simply the cost of doing business. Business owners can either absorb the costs or pass them on to customers. It doesn’t work that way. When the minimum wage goes up, an employer often will lay off a single employee while paying his remaining

What Mitt Romney paid or did not pay in taxes is none of our business. He’s been filing with the IRS for more than 40 years. If he was doing something illegal, he would have been caught a long time ago. Carl Bernstein, co-author of All the President’s Men, asked

Mark Hamill, Luke Skywalker of Star Wars fame and the voice of the Joker in the animated batman series, is attacking Mitt Romney because the guy’s a capitalist. Hamill’s net worth is around $6 million. This makes him rich, even by inflationary standards. Then there’s The Avengers director Joss Whedon

For a number of years we’ve been hearing about the dreadful Law of the Sea Treaty, appropriately named LOST. It looks like the 2010 election scuttled attempts to make this horrendous treaty the law. We can thank Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) for leading the way on opposition to it as

The film Soylent Green (1973) — that stars Charlton Heston, Edward G. Robinson, and Chuck “The Rifleman” Connors — is not a great film, but it has one classic line — “Soylent Green is People!” The line reminded me of Obama and his fellow leftists who claim that corporations are

The best way to know what something costs is to pay for it. One of the first things a debt counselor will tell someone in debt is to cut up the credit cards and pay cash for everything. One of the reasons healthcare prices are out of control is because

The concept “social justice” means different things to different people. Justice is often equated with social equality, a mistaken notion if there ever was one. In looking for a helpful way to explain the meaning of justice, baseball comes to mind. Rarely are teams equal in ability. This is especially

What is the first principle of economics? Some economists will claim that it’s supply and demand, while others insist that it’s scarcity or the division of labor. The first principle of economics is “thou shalt not steal.” Economics is ethical before it is practical. Almost all modern definitions of economics,

There was a time when there were standards for getting food stamps (now EBT cards). The food stamp program was designed to help families with the necessities. You couldn’t buy anything you want with food stamps. When my oldest son worked at a grocery store, he was indignant when a

The operating assumption of an organization like the NAACP is any criticism of President Obama is because he’s black. How many times have we heard liberals in general and blacks in particular play the race card any time either President Obama or Attorney General Holder is called on to explain
