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."

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.
