Remember when George H.W. Bush was ridiculed, falsely, for not knowing about electronic scanners in grocery stores? The first true ATM was introduced in … [Read more...]
Don’t Like ObamaCare? Stay Poor
June 4, 2011 By Ben Johnson
Some of us have long argued the Obama administration is pushing a two-track system of financial bondage for the nation: tremendous profits and options for the ruling class, with cradle-to-grave socialism for the penniless underclass. In between, the middle class will be squeezed into non-existence. Enter Neal Kumar Katyal, the acting Solicitor General and former assistant to Elena Kagan. Katyal … [Read more...]

Obama: America Was Not a “Great Country,” 1776-1965
April 14, 2011 By Ben Johnson
As the nation digests Barack Obama's plan to ride a tax hike to re-election, one phrase from yesterday's budget speech confirms what this author has long stated: the president is fundamentally an anti-American Messianic figure who believes he was sent to save our nation from itself and its Founders. Speaking a line that was written in advance, approved by multiple layers of handlers and advisers, … [Read more...]

Barack Obama has unveiled his agenda for balancing the budget: Raising taxes on the living, then sending them to an early grave.

The media enthused when Barack Obama bloviated during his State of the Union Address, “We need to out-innovate, out-educate, and out-build the rest of the world.” They now enthuse that the president has appointed members to his new Council on Jobs and Competitiveness allegedly designed to cut down inefficient regulations and unnecessary government burdens.

Fraud is the lingua franca of politics, a language cultivated and refined by generations of corrupt officials, grifters, and perjurers, but only a truly gifted practitioner can allow one unethical action to prepare the way for another. Only a master on the level of Barack Obama can align potentially illegal actions like chess moves, one deftly laying the groundwork for the next. The Justice … [Read more...]
Obama’s Decrees Cause Energy Prices to “Skyrocket”
