More on “Socialism” and “Wealth Redistribution”

Last week, I put together a short video about the history of socialism in America. (In case you missed it, you can watch it here.) Whether you want to admit it or not, America is now, and has for some time been, a nation filled with socialism and wealth redistribution. It is how we pay [...]

Bailout Selling Points Don’t Add Up

I’ve been hearing it again and again, ever since the Bush Administration came up with it’s financial bailout scheme- if we give the banks and financiers $700 Billion of taxpayer money to buy up the “toxic” debt, down the road, the taxpayers will probably profit in the long run.

What Sarah Palin and the GOP Really Think About Women

It’s like my good friend at Bring It On! said over here. Another reminder why this election is so important. And it’s kind of sad we have to still be going down this road. After all, with record debts, a failing economy, energy concerns, environmental concerns, wars abroad and the whole lot of corruption and internal destruction [...]

Convention fever is lighting up the 2008 presidential elections here in the United States- the time for the major political parties to formally nominate their candidates for the general election, for the party faithful to gather and pat each other on the back while mending wounds inflicted during the primaries, and for the political [...]

Socialism Is Evil! (Unless You Need A Corporate Bail-Out)

“Ours is a system of corporate socialism, where companies capitalize their profits and socialize their losses…in effect, they tax you for their accidents, bungling, boondoggles, and mismanagement, just like a government. We should be able to dis-elect them.”

Conservatives hate socialism. We know this is true because they tell us how evil socialism really [...]
