Very interesting!!!

I have to admit, I thought this article was hilarious! It's just fine to stop businesses from doing things with environmental law, but not you!

If following the law is so onerous, maybe it's not a good law?!??!?!!!!!

Since you talk about gas prices, maybe you've given some thought to refining and drilling. How frustrated do you think our energy industry is with these obstructionist laws?

Frustrated? I'm glad your frustrated! If we were the only ones, it wouldn't be fair!!!

PS I'm all for biking. I even own a bike!

Interesting

I wonder if Mike was upset about Hillary's involvement in running the country when her husband was president.

Race

Hmmm. I thought Obama was above race. I thought he was the great unifier.

But, I keep hearing about race.... from him and his supporters.

So, he can't unify congress, the parties or the races.

Bummer.

Some people think the government should do everything.

I would agree that the Fed, and States should spend on infrastructure. Actually, they should always be spending on infrastructure.

The whole point of recessions and depressions are to clear out the deadwood. Liberals (progressives?) never think there is any deadwood. They hate the big corporations, until they are going to go under, then they have to be saved. They don't have to be saved. If they can't do business at a profit, they shouldn't be doing business. You just can't keep making buggy whips.

Telling people to not spend their money is OK, as long as you realize that recovery will probably be moved back. Personally, I think people should individually decide what's best for them. That's the American way.

No person, group of people or government is smart enough to run the economy. We've tried that over and over again. The solution was the free market. That's the new idea.

Saxbe Fix

I guess this shows once again the respect that the democrats have for the Constitution. It's something that needs to be fixed.

Teach America: It's unlikely

1. The free market system gives you flexibility and prosperity. The side products are freedom and opportunity.

2. You can tweak the free market, but you will generally reduce flexibility, prosperity, freedom and opportunity

3. What we are doing now goes way beyond tweaking.

4. Teach America should point to times when the government has worked in the past.

5. The past shows us that central planning doesn't work, it has been tried over and over. The free market is the new idea.

6. No person, group of people or government is smart enough to run an economy or an industry.

The best part of Obama's press conference was actually pretty funny.

"It's a little hard for me to take criticism of this recovery package, after they presided over a doubling of the national debt."

So..... therefore he's going to triple it?

PS. Bush added 4 trillion to the dept, and it is now over 10 trillion. Therefore, he did not double it. Obama's 25% there already!

Original article: The shame of Michael Steele

Micheal Steele's shame

Limbaugh is not the party's leader. He himself has said so many times. Whether his views are ugly or not is in the eye of the beholder.

But, to say his views are gaining too much attention, sounds like you are advocating shutting him up.

Are you?

Science

Science is not a way of thinking, it's knowledge obtained by using the scientific method. Much of education and medicine is not obtained in this way. Modern medicine is better than what came before, but in a way, it's a grand experiment in which we are the guinea pigs searching for truth.
