To my surprise, I recently saw child actor Matt Damon reciting the Declaration of Independence as part of a promo for a History Channel documentary he’s co-producing. I was taken aback by this because I had never heard anything but angry, anti-liberty rhetoric come from Damon’s mouth. Nevertheless, I’m glad I happened to catch him in his perplexing performance, because it reminded me of a subject that Americans need to give some long, hard thought to: freedom.
The way the socialist crowd that now controls the power levers in Washington throw around words like freedom and liberty, you’d think they were descendents of the Founding Fathers. And, the truth be known, they’re sincere when they use such words. Read the rest of this entry »

The Marxmeister in the White House now says he takes full responsibility for ending the oil mess in the Gulf. He also says he wants to “know whose ass to kick,” that he “can’t suck it up with a straw,” and … well, you know … the ongoing narcissistic spiel – “I, me, my … blah, blah, blah” … day after day, week after week, ad nauseam.
Watching his recent performances on the Gulf oil disaster made me think about a monster hit The Platters had in the fifties called “The Great Pretender.” Little did they know that the champion Great Pretender wouldn’t even be born until 1961 – probably in Kenya … but, then, no one is really sure about that because no one is allowed to see his birth certificate.

In my recent interview with Dr. Christopher Metzler of Georgetown University, he repeatedly expressed concern over what it’s going to take to wake up millions of Americans who still appear to be hung over from an excess of Obama-Aid. I share Dr. Metzler’s concern, and have been unimpressed with the constant drumbeat about Barack Obama’s “rapidly declining” poll numbers.
Maybe I’ve been living on different planet, but it seems to me that Der Fuhrbama’s approval ratings have been gently moving back and forth between roughly 43 and 48 percent for as long as I can remember. Nothing he does, no matter how anti-Constitutional, how criminal, or how arrogant, seems to phase 40 percent or so of the population. Read the rest of this entry »

The other day, one of my son’s friends, who had just come home from college for the summer, stopped over to say hello. We chatted briefly, and I asked him if he was still planning on becoming an entrepreneur/businessman after he graduated from school next spring.
To my surprise, he said that because of the economy, he had changed his mind about pursuing a business career. He told me that he now planned to apply for a job with the CIA. Surprised, I asked, “What in the world made you decide to go to work for the CIA?” Read the rest of this entry »

The main reason I’m against giving handouts to countries like Greece is that it sends the wrong message. We should not lie to Europe’s socialist misfits about capitalism. The greatest gift we can offer is to help them understand that freedom is not about security or equality; it’s about insecurity and inequality.
We should teach them that the price of freedom is self-responsibility, and self-responsibility means that no one has a right to a house, a car, a job – no, not even healthcare. What everyone does have a right to is exactly what others are willing to pay him, free of government interference. Read the rest of this entry »
