Turning Boom into Bust By Alan Caruba

There is also something called “the curse of oil” because, if the price per barrel drops, the fate of some nations goes with it. This is the case, for example, of the former Soviet Russia whose government collapsed when it could no longer secure hard currency when oil and gas prices fell. Venezuela is an economic basket case these days, having nationalized oil and most of its financial and business sectors.

Democrats Plan Censorship With Reinstatement of the Fairness Doctrine! By J.D. Longstreet

We warned you the Democrats would do this and indications are that they have not abandoned their plans. We also warned you the democrats are all about raw power. The assertion of their tyranny by any means possible. The Fairness Doctrine is censorship, plain and simple.

Redistribution of the Wealth By J.D. Longstreet

Question: Who said the following, Karl Marx or Barack Obama? “I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.” The answer is… BOTH. Well, sort of. Marx DID say it a little differently. Marx said it this way: ” From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs.” Judging from their words they both support redistribution of the wealth.

Fraud Or Business As Usual? By Judie Brown

Fraud: intentional perversion of truth in order to induce another to part with something of value or to surrender a legal right.
It is not often that I get so excited about an American Life League Action Alert that I have to write a commentary on it, but today is just such a day. You see, the headline itself sets the stage: “Statutory Rape-Hiding Planned Parenthood to Receive Thousands: Help Stop Misuse of Tax Dollars.”

Joe the Plumber’s Important Message to Obama By John Kakistos Lillpop

Barack Obama’s exchange with “Joe the plumber” has been well chronicled in the media. However, Barack Obama and the Marxists who support him in the Democrat Party do not really understand Joe’s message.

All Words tells us that an “elephant in the room” is an idiom for “a problem or difficult issue that is very obvious, but is ignored for the convenience or comfort of those involved.”

Days such as these: Wall Street uncertainties By Marie Jon

Our people in Congress who contributed to the Wall Street uncertainties must take their share of the blame. They have been exposed by new media pundits and conservative talk radio. The old drive-by-media will not be able to spin the culprits out of this problem. American voters have sufficient time to learn the truth before Election Day.

Why Americans Can’t Get U.S. Oil By Alan Caruba

My personal economy recovery program By Guest

Is W Lying About Missing Corporate Profits? By John Kakistos Lillpop

Congressional Democrats who voted to authorize the use of military force against Iraq in 2002 have spent the last five plus years explaining how they were mislead and manipulated by a conniving man whom they also swear is an incompetent nincompoop.
Geniuses, near geniuses, want to be geniuses, and geniuses in training like Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Harry Reid, John Kerry and other Democrat luminaries claim that President Bush made up WMD intelligence out of whole cloth, sold his snake oil to the United Nations, and co-opted the rest of the world into believing that Saddam Hussein was a bad actor with bad intentions.

Democrat Deceptions about Oil By Alan Caruba

Lost amidst the many speeches delivered at the Democrat Convention was one by Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada. He is the Senate Majority Leader and, as such, controls the legislative agenda in that upper house of Congress. Harry Reid hates oil, but then, so does the Democrat Party.
The reason this nation is held hostage to other oil producing nations is that the Democrats, going back to President Jimmy Carter, have waged war on the American oil industry.
