The Roaring Twenties & the Roaring Nineties By Alan Caruba
My Mother was a “flapper”, one of the girls during the Roaring Twenties of the last century. She didn’t need a woman’s movement to assert herself. She drove a car, held down a job, but—I was assured—did not dance on table tops, nor smoke, nor anything else that today would be taken for granted. She married a Certified Public Accountant and that tells you what a level-headed a girl she was. They stayed married for over sixty years. She would live to age 98!
The Employee Free Choice Act Plus the UAW Equals Danger to American Jobs By Clay Bowler
In the coming months, you are going to become very familiar with the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA). The EFCA removes the right of employees to privately vote for or against a union. The open ballot initiative will assure that small businesses (stop thinking mom and pop joints) and nonunion companies like Walmart will fall to mob-like union tactics forcing them to unionize.
Controlling A Nations Economy Means Controlling That Nation’s People. By J.D. Longstreet
The Founding Fathers of America understood that a strong central government would never work in a republican form of government, the form of government they gave the American people. They knew that. They had just declared the independence of Americans from the “strong central government” of King George of Great Britain. They understood that for Americans to thrive and become a great nation of great people the government should provide one thing… freedom.
The United States Slow Road to Socialism By Clay Bowler
In 1913, J.P. Morgan, Paul Warburg, and John D. Rockafellow managed to trick our federal government into giving them the control of the money in this country. As the story goes, the three of them convinced Secretary of State Philander Knox to lie to the American people that the states ratified 16th Amendment to the Constitution.
How America Has Changed By Alan Caruba
Many of those who helped elect Barack Obama as the next President represent a very different generation of Americans from earlier ones. They have passed through the politically correct indoctrination of government/union controlled schools and have little accurate knowledge of history, geography, or civics with which to make informed judgments. They are more the product of popular media and culture than any previous generation.
States & Utilities Unite to Rob Energy Consumers By Alan Caruba
If you believe that the use of these energy sources are producing huge amounts of carbon dioxide (C02) and other greenhouse gases that will doom the Earth, than surely the purchase of—and I kid you not—“pollution credits” to somehow curb global warming is worth the expense.
Can You Hear Us Now? (We Said NO!) By Doug Edelman
The Paulson Bailout, proposed at $700 Billion, has now grown in the Senate to $850 Billion with the addition of absolutely ridiculous “sweeteners” like free bicycles and tax breaks to wooden arrow makers! The Senate has completely lost its way.
Fixing the Financial Crisis Without Socializing the Market By Doug Edelman
A giveaway of hundreds of billions of dollars is not only bad policy, it is not necessary! Unfortunately, the Democrats have successfully brainwashed the public into believing that the problem was caused by deregulation, when in fact it was caused by Democrat inspired rules and regulations which set up a house of cards in our economy.

My personal economy recovery program By Guest
by TexasFred
This idea sounds just crazy enough to possibly work, so naturally it won’t be given serious consideration. How great is our bureaucracy!!
I’m against the $85,000,000,000.00 bailout of AIG. Instead, I’m in favor of giving $85,000,000,000.00 to America in a We Deserve It Dividend.

The crisis of the Great Depression led to the politics of the 1930s and 40s, and demands for government intervention to ease the terrible burdens of a broken economy. The result were programs designed to alleviate the then-immediate crisis, restore trust in the banking system, provide make-work projects, and create Social Security to protect people against a penniless old age.
Goodbye USA , Hello USSA! By Doug Edelman
Welcome to the United Socialist States of Amerika!!
The Wall Street Bailout as currently proposed is going to cost taxpayers $700 Billion. A $700 BILLION Bailout??? Half the Federal Annual Budget??
Let’s see… wasn’t it just 4 years ago that $87 Billion could run a WAR for a YEAR? And Congress balked at that figure (”I voted FOR the $87 Billion before I voted against it…”). What have we spent IN TOTAL on Iraq ? I don’t think we’ve gotten close to $700 Billion yet, and now they want to spend that amount on bailing out a bunch of misbehaving children on Wall Street??
Obsession With Diversity Ruined Housing Market By John Kakistos Lillpop
With Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae lying in ruins and private establishments like Lehman Brothers and AIG reduced to no better than welfare queens living on the public trough, an irrefutable truth must be accepted.
Fallout from the U.S. Energy Policy Act of 2005 (Part 3) - The Nuclear Option By Diane M. Grassi
In this third chapter of this ongoing discussion and analysis of United States energy policy and its ramifications both realized directly and indirectly from the U.S. Energy Policy Act of 2005, (EPAct 2005) it would be irresponsible not to include U.S. nuclear energy policy in such analysis.
As such, the EPAct 2005 and its previously referenced [...]
Joe McCarthy Was RIGHT! By Doug Edelman
Of course by “We” he meant Government. Not the American People. After all, the American People ALREADY own the refineries! The oil companies are PUBLICLY HELD companies. SHAREHOLDERS (the American People) DO own them. What Hinchey wants is an expansion of Government power by a TAKEOVER of the energy industry – just like Hillary wanted a Government takeover of the healthcare industry.

Considering how much untapped oil is known to exist, not just in the United States, but worldwide, one would think that its current price was some kind of anomaly and it is. It is more the result of speculation than anything else.

A desperate push is underway to enact the Climate Security Act sponsored by Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CN) and Sen. John Warner (R-VA). It would impose cap-and-trade mandates on anything that generates carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and that pretty much includes everything involving energy use, including backyard barbequing.

As if the constant flow of illegal aliens and drugs from Mexico were not already a huge problem for the United States, it is about to get worse. When Business Week took notice of Mexico’s dwindling oil reserves and failed national oil company, Pemex, in its May 5th edition, it signaled a problem whose significance is as great as the one involving an invading population.

Once again, in response to constituent outcry over gasoline prices, Oil Company executives have been hauled before Congress to get their posteriors ripped into by self-serving grandstanding Senators. Senator Leahy went so far as to question the salary of the execs – as if this was in some way relevant. But these self-appointed watchdogs are barking up the wrong tree. The Oil Companies are not to blame for our pain at the pump!
