Going Galt Lite
Sometimes you have to show tough love. For those of us with children, we can all appreciate the following scenario. You see your child about to do something stupid (like touch a hot stove) and you jump into action. You … Continue reading
This Is Why I Do Not Fear China
For several decades China has seen incredible GDP growth and the US has seen jobs shipped to the rising super power. This has prompted serious talk of China overtaking the US as the largest economy and talk of retribution, via … Continue reading
A Divided America
There’s a ton of analysis on the Election this week but this one by Marketplace was unique and I found the results very interesting. “In our Two Americas coverage of the 2012 presidential election, we’re dividing the nation in two … Continue reading
Post Election Thoughts

History Repeats Itself
There is a great blog post from @SooperMexican that shows Obama in a bomber jacket. This reminded me of another fatal attempt of a Leftist to promote himself as pro-military shortly before a Presidential election. Let’s hope Obama gets the … Continue reading
Vote For Romney!
Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can’t Lose! There isn’t much more to be said from me with regard to why I’m voting for Romney on Tuesday and for that reason I will have no new blog posts until Wednesday. For those … Continue reading
2012 Presidential Election Predictions
Everyone is making predictions and since this is my blog and I can do what I want, here is mine! It really does come down to Ohio this year because I feel Romney will win Florida, Virginia and Wisconsin and … Continue reading
Romney Rolls On
Real Clear Politics latest update shows Romney still holding, if not widening, his surge after the debates. Romney’s chances look even better when you look at the independent surge in the latest Pew Research Poll and I’ve copied the data … Continue reading
Government Scare Tactics
The Federal Government is a big believer in Rule #9 in Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals which states: “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.” And it’s not just confined to Liberals either. I’m sure you remember … Continue reading
GDP Growth Rate And What It Means For The Election
The 3rd Quarter Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rate (2.0%) was announced today and as expected, the “growth” is anemic and completely in line with what we would expect from Obamanomics. Keep in mind that the economy should be booming … Continue reading
Romney Took A Knee
Have you ever watched a football game where team “A” is destroying team “B” and late in the 4th quarter, with time running out, team “A” drives down the field and gets inside the opponents 5 yard line and there … Continue reading
From Zinger to Dud
Leftists are all atwitter about Obama’s big zinger last night in the Foreign Policy debate: OBAMA – “But I think Governor Romney maybe hasn’t spent enough time looking at how our military works.” “You mentioned the Navy, for example, and … Continue reading
UN to Monitor US Elections
Apparently the United States has turned into a 3rd world dictatorship that requires the United Nations to monitor voting locations to ensure the process is fair. “United Nations-affiliated election monitors from Europe and central Asia will be at polling places … Continue reading
Reaction From 2nd Debate
Obama did so horrible in the first debate that he had nowhere to go but up and he did improve so at worst I would rate this debate as a push. But on the issue that is most important to … Continue reading
Hillary Clinton Takes One For The Team
Or did she? From CNN: “Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Monday tried to douse a political firestorm around the deadly assault on a U.S. diplomatic mission in Libya, saying she is responsible for the security of American diplomatic outposts.” … Continue reading
Post Debate Bounce
So much for the pundits who said debate performance doesn’t matter – From Real Clear Politics: From two of the latest four polls that I could access without subscriptions, the IBD/TIPP poll had a D/I/R sampling of 39%/30%/31% (D+8) and … Continue reading
Hankie Truthers
Yes, the Left is so butt-hurt over the curb stomping Romney administered to Obama during this week’s debate that they have come up with a new theory about why this happened. And this one beats Al Gore’s altitude theory. The … Continue reading
Austerity 101
Natural Born Conservative (@LarryMWalkerJR) has a great post explaining the economics of austerity and what effects Federal tax rates and Federal spending have on GDP and Debt. You should go read the whole post and see how Mr. Walker destroys … Continue reading

Obama seemed like a tired and dejected shell of a man on the stage tonight and only the most partisan Leftist will disagree with the fact that Romney clearly won the first Presidential debate tonight. The tone was set by … Continue reading
