Wee, The People

The Supreme Court began this term faced with a double dose of dilemma. The Affordable Care Act dispute has reached their doorstep, both parties involved unworthy of entering the chamber. Instead of a simple health insurance so… Read full post »

This is a response to the "famous" Mike Church and is mostly about ridiculing his really pathetic rebuttal to something I wrote. I consider it a sort of pain in the ass. But because he devoted his attention to me, I feel I must reciprocate. Not only did Mikey try… Read full post »

I'm indulging myself with this post, but if you like arguments, you might like this one.

My recent post: Ron Paul Says Founders Ignorant of Constitution caused quite a stir among the libertarian crowd. While I didn't wish to insult anyone's religion by disagreeing with a saint,… Read full post »

Having lured you into reading this, I admit Ron Paul only effectively makes the title claim. He wouldn't say it directly, as that would diminish the ongoing fraud of presenting himself as an authority on the Constitution. He is not, as I will prove beyond a reasonable doubt, and can only… Read full post »

While I’m not a big fan of President Obama, I am less critical of his (in)actions than many on the Left side of the label ledger. I agree that Obama is too much a continuation of Bush on the issues… Read full post »

Ideology, ignorance and absolutism

Ideology is one of the often misused words in political conversations. This isn’t surprising considering most political conversations are riddled with words that have more attachment to emotion than meaning. However, if you want to improve your political word… Read full post »

I’ve been weighing the pros and cons of the Wisconsin effort to end collective bargaining for public employee unions, and have arrived at the conclusion that the Conservatives are right, at least in principle… Read full post »

It is futile to request the Tucson tragedy not be politicized as it is inherently political, so even calm, rational discussion can’t avoid the subject. It is also futile to look for proof the killer was motivated by a political cause, even if he has a poster of Marx… Read full post »

After two years of ranting about unconstitutional government and legislators who vote on bills they haven’t read, the Tea Party Reps have finally decided to read and s… Read full post »

In response to Salon's Kitchen Challenge Open Call...

The word liberal has taken quite a beating over the last few decades, and has taken on the false meaning conservatives prefer. By that I mean the word is used in a European context as a near synonym for socialist, though that word is also subject to… Read full post »

I saw a cartoon years ago, in one of those classy men’s magazines (or Hustler), showing the Man of Steel and a woman sitting up in bed. He’s blushing, and has a look of shame and disgust written on his face. You could sense the sarcasm in the arms-crossed… Read full post »
