They Finally Went Master Blaster on The Radical Left!
Back in 2021 I asked if it was time to go Master Blaster on The Radical Left. To provide the background: If you’re not familiar with what the title of …
We are all Grove Parc tenants now [Reader Post]
History repeats itself. This story has many echoes that resonate through the country today. Barack Obama has done for the United States what he did for Grove Parc. The more things hope and change, the more they stay the same.
CHICAGO – The squat brick buildings of Grove Parc Plaza, in a dense neighborhood that Barack Obama represented for eight years as a state senator, hold 504 apartments subsidized by the federal government for people who can’t afford to live anywhere else.
Obama The Hypocrite: Lashes Out At Banks Giving Loans To People Who Couldn’t Afford Them
Hypocrisy….thy name is Obama:
We know what happened when we strayed from those values over the past decade – especially when it comes to our housing market.
Lenders sold loans to families who couldn’t afford them. Banks packaged those mortgages up and traded them for phony profits. It drove up prices and created an unsustainable bubble that burst – and left millions of families who did everything right in a world of hurt.
The Great Economic Collapse; and why no one is arrested [Reader Post]
60 Minutes, as usual, had a very nearly excellent program last week on the economic collapse, and they were all upset because no one has been arrested; no particular person appears to be under investigation. They have a good reason to be upset, but they seemed, at least in this report (and in several previous programs), to be clueless as to why.
Wall St has already made more under Obama than it did under Bush [Reader Post]
This is a testimony to the unending and blind stupidity of the left:
Wall Street’s resurgent prosperity frustrates its claims, and Obama’s
President Obama has called people who work on Wall Street “fat-cat bankers,” and his reelection campaign has sought to harness public frustration with Wall Street. Financial executives retort that the president’s pursuit of financial regulations is punitive and that new rules may be “holding us back.”
But both sides face an inconvenient fact: During Obama’s tenure, Wall Street has roared back, even as the broader economy has struggled.
Marxism, Just Another Word For Poverty
Karl Marx has indigestion; Cuba has just announced the imposition of private property rights and a citizen’s right to sell and buy real estate.
Fidel and Raul Castro have maintained the most classical example of Marxism in the world for over 50 years: consequently, the Cuban people live in abject poverty under totalitarian rule, while their leaders enjoy their wealth, opulence, and outrageous personal economic portfolios so typical of iron fisted thugs ruling over a Socialist dystopia.
Logical Fallacies and the Financial Crisis [Reader Post]
I have a friend that has a Masters in Psychology. We usually confine our discussions to beer, softball, women, and beer. The man is a master of manipulation. I have seen him deflect arguments with such skill that the other person walks away in a cloud of befuddlement. Sometimes we discuss politics. I brought up the growing divide in our country and told him I have little hope that we will ever bridge it. He explained to me the nature of this divide and why we may never come together again as a nation. These are the five logical fallacies that prevent us from agreeing.
Why there can be no recovery as long as Obama is President [Reader Post]
Barack Obama has unveiled a crisp, fresh and new campaign theme.
President Obama has devised a new strategy for dealing with troubling economic developments: Showcase optimism about turning around the economy while reassuring voters that although he understands their fears he isn’t directly responsible for their pain.
The Housing Recovery That Wasn’t
It’s four months shy of three years since I penned the post, “A Perfect Storm of Housing and Lending Events… the crash of the US housing market and economy. Since then, it’s been stimulus after stimulus spending… albeit all with different names to disguise the same. In the weeks following the Obama inaugural, economist Chris Low was saying the housing market hit bottom, and that 2009 was a year of stabilization and recovery.
It was not to be
Arrogance Incarnate – Obama and his union friends… [Reader Post]
Life not fair. Nor for that matter is it unfair. It simply is. It’s not fair or unfair that the lion feasts on the slowest zebra or that the penguin who leaps into the ocean at just the wrong moment becomes dinner for an Orca. Life is life… fair doesn’t come into play.
Fair is a fundamentally human concept that is defined by a lack of preference or favoritism and or injustice.
Despite its subjective nature, fairness is a word that the left loves to bring to what should be an objective realm, politics.
