Rick Santorum gave a speech in Detroit on February 16th, 2012 on the topic of economics from a conservative point of view. As usual, the liberal media pulled an out-of-context paragraph and then gave it their own Leftist interpretation: “I’m not about equality of result when it comes to income

The following is part of a speech that Pres. Harry S Truman gave on November 3, 1949 in St. Paul, Minnesota, as part of the city’s “Truman Day Celebration.” It shows that our government has been trying to promote the “General Welfare” through wealth redistribution for a very long time.

Millions of Americans were devastated when they heard that Hostess Brands filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Hostess makes Ho Hos, Ding Dongs, Yodels, Sno Balls, and the cream-filled yellow torpedoes called Twinkies. You may recall in the film Zombieland (2009) that Woody Harrelson’s character was in pursuit of his

In March of last year, my wife and I spent ten wonderful days in China as part of a group meeting with church and business leaders. It was an unforgettable experience. I told a group of Chinese students at a church service that I was bringing some of China back

When taxes are high in one state, businesses and individual tax payers have the freedom to move to another state. The number of millionaires who have left New York is getting to Red Sea proportions. Rush Limbaugh moved his operation to Florida, a state that doesn’t have a state income

Most kids growing up in the 1950s and 1960s either took a “brown bag” lunch to school or brought one in a metallic square box. Those lunch boxes have become collector’s items. Some sell for more than a $1000. If there’s a working thermos, it’s even more. I saw kids

54% of Catholics voted for Obama in 2008. Now the Catholic Bishops are screaming bloody murder because of contraception mandates. Maybe it’s only the 46% that didn’t vote for him who are doing the screaming. What about the Catholic bishops? They got behind Obamacare like they got behind every so-called

“POWER, POWER, POWER, POWER — never forget that it is from a fascination of the limits and manipulations of Power that keep people interested in this book.” ((Jenny M. Jones, The Annotated Godfather: The Complete Screenplay with Commentary on Every Scene, Interviews, and Little Known Facts (New York: Tess Press,

In Abraham Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address, he said the following about slavery: “It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God’s assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men’s faces.” How is it morally justifiable to steal men and women, enslave them,

When someone else pays for something we get to keep, we usually don’t care about the price, especially if our benefactor keeps paying for it. People on food stamps generally are not cost conscious because they know that each month, they’ll get a new batch of food stamps. There was

There’s always some dustup over the Half-Time Show at the Super Bowl. This year it was the British female rapper M.I.A. (real name Mathangi Arulpragasam) who gave the finger to tens of millions of Americans. You don’t need to be a lip reader to know that she also said right

It wasn’t too long ago that President Obama denounced the Supreme Court ruling which granted freedom for organizations to campaign for or against political candidates. That was then: Two years ago, while delivering his State of the Union address, President Obama looked the Supreme Court justices in the face and

Here’s the way politics works: Liberals overreach and conservatives compromise. In the end Liberals win. Liberals will propose a ten percent tax increase, and Republicans will settle for five, the very number Democrats hoped to get. It might take Liberals longer to get to their goal, but they know that

One of the universal laws of economics is “Whatever you subsidize, you get more of it.” Joe Biden was asked if government subsidies have had an impact on tuition cost hikes. Here’s what the Vice President said: [G]overnment subsidies have impacted upon rising tuition costs. It’s a conundrum here. But

If the unemployment numbers are right, the percentage of unemployed Americans dropped from 8.5% to 8.3%. Of course, the CBO published last week that the real unemployment rate is near 10%. The new percentage, of course, does not take into account the number of people who have dropped out of

Don’t you just love it when Liberals turn to the Bible for support of their policies? How many times have you heard Liberals tell us that “Jesus never got mixed up in politics” or “We’re not supposed to Judge” or “You can’t impose your morality on other people” or “There’s

I’ve never paid a bank fee. I don’t own a debit card. I’ve never withdrawn cash from a teller machine. I pay off my credit cards each month. My businesses get to use the bank’s money interest-free for about 24 days each month. The sky miles I rack up pay

Conservatives are getting disillusioned. The Republican candidates are not inspiring a majority of voters. The candidates are attacking one another rather than the real target – the Marxist policies of Barack Obama. The one good thing about the wrangling is that it’s making Mitt Romney sound more conservative. He’s taking
