My post was a little off your topic,sorry. And, you are right we should be shouting that there were indeed WMD's in Iraq. What the hell are thousands of our troops standing guard for now in Turkey!!They monitor where these WMD's go 24/7,stakes are high.

Our side learns very slowly.

It’s the low information voters on steroids.
It’s also the fact that we get an education here on FR that is second to none. We take stuff for granted here that the rest of the world is totally ignorant to.

Rather than trying to be like liberals with all their group dividing “isms”, let’s explain how capitalism and God free you rather enslave.


Of course, I agree with all of this but I do wish that someday we could all meet in a room and agree to stop using the word “capitalism”—and refer to free markets instead.

Basically “capitalism” was first spit out by Marx as an epithetic label for western industrialism of the time. Marx’s stupid, simplistic view reduced all economic outcomes to “investment,” ignoring more factors and forces than I could possibly list here.

Suffice it to say, Solyndra would be doing bofo business today if all that mattered was “investment”—and there wouldn’t be any point in any business doing customer service if “capitalism” was all there was to it.

(OK I’ll stop nitpicking now.)

There can’t be any point in believing anything Obamsky and the apparatchik media tell us, is there?

Exactly, other than random moments of journalism as Rush so adeptly says they are useless.

It would have been horrible but, it turned into a circular firing squad and when they said, “fire” I ducked.

Great Point, except there are no free markets anymore. The bigger problem is nobody understands the free market since it hasn’t been taught for about 50 years. It only exists in a small percentage of people’s daily lives.

Pray for America

This guy Cory Booker might be in the Demovik mix for 2016. You know there MUST be a black entrant to cash in on- and extend the glory of the Great Obamarama Era of Noble Black Leadership, blah blah blah.

I got him at 10-1 right now to be nominated; 5-1 if he actually throws his hat in the ring. He could even run against Christie and still run in 2016.

(Assuming the Great Obamarama doesn’t find a way to name himself Leader For Eternity, of course.)

(Also: Booker will have to learn to speak slower, however. Too much rat-a-tat-tat.)

I can not STAND to hear marbles mouth Mcconnel! He is literally an old white guy..and he is in a PR position trying to out-media obama.HUH? Alan Simpson has charisma and can speak to the young even if he is an old white guy.

Best thing to happen this week was Jim Demint, a marketing expert, going to the Heritage Group and putting some fire into the conservative message. We can’t RE-EDUCATE an entire generation that was lost to govt schools, but we can communicate differently with them.

I agree he can really become a focal point for conservatism in a way that a wonk cannot. Also, he should be able to get Heritage into the states a little more deeply.

BTW: One of my fondest memories of being a DC reporter was a day I spent at Heritage. I walked in there (to interview one of their economics gurus) and in about 5 minutes I was trying to figure out a way to ask how I could go about getting a job there.

I used to say “open markets.” I guess it would probably be more accurate to say “regulated markets.” All the same, while taking your point, I’d rather use an idealistic phrase from our side than an invective variation on it from theirs.

Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
—John Adams


One of my fave quotes too, AB.

If we ever get a chance to repair to new land and start over, we need take only a copy of the Constitution, a Bible, some scratch pads and pens—throw them down on a table, grab a seat, and say, “Hey, let’s get it so nobody can monkey with it this time.”

One of the amazing things about the attack which was very severe is it didn’t really bother me too much. Sure I dealt with the failure aspect but I only had about 200 come to my websites which most were the same clowns and only had around five phone calls from loons.

That was pretty mild but, I couldn’t put my wife through it.

You are absolutely right and I should have said free markets since it is an ideal people understand. The bigger point I was trying to make is the manipulation from the media complex and the choice between man and God.

This brings us to the point of the financial collapse. If it does collapse there is only one economic system which can survive without massive gummit control and that is capitalism. It would rise out of the ashes just as it always does and thrive until we reform the gummit regulations.

The collapse theory relies on government surviving and then becoming a dictatorship. That may not happen since it needs a host to survive and the host will have been killed.

Pray for America

I used to think that Heritage was a good group then I learned they went for obamacare and other stuff I could never support.
