Explaining Liberal Principles
11/12/04
Examining the principles that explain when governmental solutions are required to improve peoples' lives and the prosperity of the nation. This is a more complete treatment of "The Libertarian Menace"

Politics
The Conservative Mind
9/01/06
Quotes from The Conservative Mind from Burke to Eliot by Russell Kirk, 1953. It's considered the foundational book that's credited with inspiring the conservative resurgence in America.

Politics
The 9/22/08 Economic Crisis
9/24/08
What's at the root of the 9/22/08 economic crisis? An explosion of "trade", fiscal, and personal debt encouraged by government and Federal Reserve policies. Why? Compensation growth has fallen far behind productivity growth. Why? Five factors.

Rep Doug Lamborn on 'Free Trade'
3/16/09
Notes from a meeting 5/30/08 with Rep. Doug Lamborn and NAM on manufacturing, "free trade" and other issues.

Politics
Freedom? Liberal vs. Conservative
3/01/09
Conservatives and libertarians have a limited, and therefore false, view of "freedom". They see those who understand the need to use government to improve peoples' lives as "socialist authoritarians." Such distorted thinking would similarly call gardeners, "socialist authoritarians" comprising a "socialist mob". That's just plain crazy.

Fiscal Deficits! Who's Responsible?
8/31/10
Fiscal deficits were exploding and 4.3M jobs had been lost before Obama took office. Fiscal debt as of Sept 09, 8 months after Obama took office, was $11.9 trillion. "Trade" deficits subtracted $5.8 trillion from GDP from 2000 through May 2010. Democratic tax increases on the wealthy led to a boom and Republican tax cuts for the wealthy and not-paid-for spending led to a bust. The economic downturn, Bush tax cuts and wars in Afghanistan and Iraq explain virtually the entire deficit over the next ten years.

Book Review: "Do As I Say (Not As I Do): Profiles in Liberal Hypocrisy" by Peter Schweizer
12/02/05
"Do As I Say (Not As I Do): Profiles in Liberal Hypocrisy" by Peter Schweizer is quite clever and effective. It's clever because it uses "logical sleight-of-hand" to confuse and obfuscate. And it's effective because so many actually buy his illogic. In this case "effective" really means "deceptive." Now includes a very negative response to this review and comments on that response.
