Reflections on 9/11
Posted by: | CommentsSeptember 11, 2001 is a day that will live on in infamy for the rest of our lives. I was a student at the George Washington University during that time and recall taking a micro-economics class that morning. Upon returning to my apartment, my roommate immediately informed me of what had happened. We watched the news in amazement, still unsure of what had truly occurred. I tried to get through to my family in New York, but was unsuccessful as the phone lines were jammed. After hearing the Pentagon... Read More→

Posted by: | CommentsFrom MarketWatch: The U.S. unemployment rate climbed to 10.2% in October, topping the 10% mark for the first time in 26 years, the Labor Department reported Friday.

The Rise of Czar’s in The White House…
Posted by: | CommentsRead a really interesting piece in today’s Wall Street Journal about the appointment of so many so called Czar’s to The White House. Not only does the term Czar scare me quite a bit, but the unnecessary overabundance of them, as well as their radical beliefs i.e. the infamous Mr. Jones and his controversial past…. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB125261851127501015.html#mod=WSJ_hps_MIDDLEForthNews Read More →
GOP Internecine Battles
Posted by: | CommentsIt isn’t much of an exaggeration to say that in the months following Obama’s election and inauguration the Republican party leadership and punditry have been in disarray. Conservatives have realized what they feared most and tried to vocalize during the campaign: Obama’s radicalism is not standard-fare Democrat politics. The speed and aggression with which the administration and Congress have moved to transform our society are unprecedented in modern times, perhaps not since... Read More→
Farewell Israel and Obama’s Naive View of the Middle East
Posted by: | CommentsI recently rented the documentary film ßFarewell Israel from Netflix. In my opinion it should be required viewing for each and every citizen of the United States, especially Obama voters. So many people, most notably among them Barack Obama, completely misunderstand the underlying reasons for terrorism, Iranian saber rattling, and the Arab-Israeli conflict. During his campaign for the presidency, Barack Obama stated that Iran does not pose a serious threat to the United States the way the Soviet... Read More→
Saved or Created: The Real Voodo Economics
Posted by: | CommentsDespite a net job loss of over 2 million since the beginning of 2009, President Barack Obama claims that his policies “saved or created” 150,000 jobs. I can’t help but laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh at this. Oh, wait… and laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh… and laugh and laugh. Okay, out of respect for those who lost their jobs I have to stop laughing! Here’s why jobs “saved or created” is shameless rhetoric: 1.... Read More→
Thomas Friedman’s Socialist America
Posted by: | CommentsMerry Christmas! (even if it is a little late) Here’s a review of this Thomas L. Friedman article by William M. Palumbo. Time to Reboot America This article is written by a socialist. I mean that in the following way: it has the mentality behind it that regards government and its leaders as being the reason for progress in the world. It gives little credit to everyday individuals and looks to the Nietzschean Übermensch as the catalyst of change. This elitist charge is becomes doubly offensive... Read More→
Flip Flop Obama
Posted by: | CommentsA question to those Americans who are planning on voting for Barack Obama in November: Do you like being thought of as malleable fools? No, I’m not talking about his liberal positions, though will undoubtedly lead our economy further into the tank, among other ill effects. I’m talking about his almost parody-like, double talking duplicity when it comes to gaining political advantage. Consider the promises he’s now renegged: 1) “Disowning” Wright, only after Wright...
