Let’s start with the semantics – my favorite part of politics [ facetiousness detected ]. We are talking about the FairTax Act. If we judge this Act by the standards held by recent legislation – like the American Clean Energy and Security Act, America’s Affordable Health Choices Act, and American Recovery and Reinvestment Act – I have to assume that the FairTax Act taxes people unfairly and is not specific to America.

I’m amazed at the optimism some have when Obama is the subject. If he’s not a Left wing-nut no one is. This decision on Afghanistan had less to do with ideology and more to do with drinking the lesser political poison. Read more...(510 words, 2 images, estimated 2:02 mins reading time)
Indeed, it sounds like something out of a satirical skit, or a paranoid Libertarian’s therapy session. We’ve known Obama is sensitive to criticism. For the longest time he simply didn’t have any. Everyone thought Hillary was a certain bet for the nomination so the mainstream media felt free to shower him with adoring coverage.

Palin is talking about two things I think. One might be the clause that provides DNR consultations. But the valid thing she’s talking about is the eventual (or immediate) need in any universal provider of anything for free (or paid for through taxes not in proportion to that service) is the need to — ration. And you don’t ration life-saving care away from productive tax revenue sources. It would only be a matter of time, a new downturn or war, before priorities would have to shift to the healthy intelligent young people and the old and deficient would all be screwed – because there aren’t any other options for someone who wants to care for a retarded child or old senile parent.Read more...(281 words, 1 image, estimated 1:07 mins reading time)
Having some rational stances and being able to argue them… That’s one big weakness I see in the average politician. Clinton was good. He could really rationalize in a seemingly logical way. But most, especially this past week, are terrible arguers.
