Will One In Four Go To One In Five?

by Smitty (the Corner) The notion of ‘tax cuts’ seems worth revisiting. The idea that the Federal government has eminent domain over all US wallets, while enshrined in the 16th Amendment, is increasingly repugnant. Now we have a President, of whom roughly one in four strongly approve, talking about even further wrong-headed action against the […]

Expect A Typically Torpid Tea Party Take On That

by Smitty Uncoverage has an important post concerning our Progressive Overlords and the shiny new ways they will offer for us all to help with the financial crisis: “Obama Administration Begins the “Grab” for Private Retirement Accounts“. That is an unfortunate title, no? I mean, given the amazingly high trust levels built up by the […]

Labor Day Is Over . . .

. . . marking the official end of “Recovery Summer”: (Hat-tip: Ed Driscoll.) Meanwhile, there’s good news and bad news: The good news is, the media have identified three endangered Democrat incumbents in Virginia. The bad news: Jim Moran isn’t one of them. Don’t be dismayed, however. Smitty keeps pounding hard for Patrick Murray, whose […]

As you read more about how utterly calculated […]

by Smitty DrewM at Ace of Spades HQ goes for the Einstein reaction to yet another hit on the Cosmic Credit card for infrastructure spending. However, the notion of replicating the Lost Decade really gives us the Vapors: How has this classic track affected Administration policy? Let us deconstruct.

A Prayer For The Presidential Health

by Smitty Those on the right should answer firmly, in a positive way, any sort of negative talk concerning the Presidential health: Almighty God, we pray that President Barack Obama should pass old, dignified, and full of years, calm in the knowledge of the abject falsehood of his policies. We pray he grasp that foreign […]

Turning Into An Andrew McCarthy Fan

by Smitty (h/t Big Journalism) I followed Michael Walsh’s advice and read Andrew McCarthy’s review of the new book on Saul Alinsky. McCarthy, who wrote Grand Jihad, sees through the sycophant author to the diabolical mind of Alinsky. The last two sentences of the review, where another Alinsky acolyte, Obama, has attained the White House, […]

Never Question The Magnitude Of The Patriotism Of Howard Dean

by Smitty (h/t The Lonely Conservative) This is nine months old, but the most important thing to do is savor the matchless patriotism on display: International greetings : Greetings from Howard Dean from PES_Party of European Socialists on Vimeo. Additionally convenient: don’t ask toward which country Howard Dean is patriotic. It might not be the […]
