Friday B-Movie Pick: Doctor Who: A Christmas Carol
Friday, February 18th, 2011I’m a Doctor Who fan going back to the early 80’s when I was watching the Tom Baker episodes on the local Community College public access channel. The new series does Christmas specials every year, and I have to say, IMNSHO, that this is the best Doctor Who Christmas special yet. They set the bar very high with this one.
This is my second “Christmas Carol” pick.
Overcoming Liberalism: Step 7
Thursday, February 17th, 2011Step 7 of 12: The government is inefficient
If you are one of those liberals who believe the government should tax us more in order to take care of society, you need to pay special attention to this step. You need to realize that government bureaucracy will waste most of your tax dollars, while the private sector will put your money to much better use. Even most Democrat politicians understand this to some degree, which is why Hillary’s socialist healthcare proposal was voted down by a majority of both Democrats and Republicans. Go to your local post office or call the IRS to ask a tax question if you need a reminder about government inefficiency.
Harvard’s Niall Ferguson Schools MSNBC Talking Head on Muslim Brotherhood and Caliphate
Wednesday, February 16th, 2011Mr. Ferguson is articulate, competent, and lays out the facts of his argument very clearly.
How he made it past the MSNBC screeners is a good question.
Overcoming Liberalism: Step 6
Tuesday, February 15th, 2011Step 6 of 12: Corporations are not evil
If you’re reading this article on-line or in an email, it’s thanks to corporations. If you get some kind of paycheck, you can thank corporations. If you work for a nonprofit or the government, you still have to thank corporations. The nonprofit sector and the government wouldn’t have any money to pay you without corporations. It is also important that you understand that making a profit doesn’t equate to “greed” or exploitation. Capitalism has created the greatest society in our world’s history. Even communist countries need corporations to survive, so enjoy a nice, hot cup of reality.
Monday Book Pick: Citadel
Monday, February 14th, 2011This is the second in his “Troy Rising” series and it doesn’t fail to deliver! The first book in the series was a pick last year. He said he was going to go old school SciFi Space Opera with this series, and my hope what he would go E.E. “Doc” Smith big. Let me just say that my faith in Mr. Ringo was not misplaced. A very fun read. I recommend this series to long term Ringo fans, like me, and to those who haven’t sampled his particular brand of reader crack yet.
Quote of the Day
Sunday, February 13th, 2011Excellent lecture from Sam of Day by Day:
“…progressives are basically old cross-dressing boomer socialist decked out in your party dress, masquerading as ‘the people’, and hold out the same old, dead, withered 100 year old hands of Marx and Engels.
Britain, France, Germany have all renounced it, and it’s no surprise that that the three biggest bankrupt U.S. states are blue – California, Illinois, and New York.
Sorry, but progressives and multiculturalism are out-dated, incompetent, and well… kinda gross.
After two years of total control by democrat-progressives, we can all see how they match up to reality, n’cest-ce pas?
A President promising efficient government triples the deficit, and blows 3 Trillion with zero result except for 10.3 percent unemployment.
An Attorney General of the Justice Department so riddled with racism he won’t prosecute an open and shut case regarding the Black Panthers.
A Homeland Security head who can only sue states who try and secure the borders she’s responsible for.
Political pundits who claim people haven’t the intelligence to understand the Constitution because it’s ‘100 years old’.
A CIA chief who says he gets the latest intel from CNN – Jan, one could go on for hours…”
If you are not reading Day by Day, you should be.
PDS: The Time Edition
Sunday, February 13th, 2011Let’s be honest here, Time is a hollow, mockery of a “news” magazine, and has been for years.
The latest evidence is their running a fake story that they clearly didn’t bother to fact check.
Cool part, Gov. Palin calling them out on it. Complete with using the word “lies” to correctly identify their story and calling them on fake quotes.
As I’ve pointed out before, fact’s don’t matter to the haters. Sarah Palin is the left’s Emmanuel Goldstein. It’s a Pavlovian response to them. They hear her name and they drool irrational hate.
Overcoming Liberalism: Step 5
Sunday, February 13th, 2011Step 5 of 12: Say “no” to Communism and Socialism
While this concept is obvious to most of the free world, it is an important step in your recovery process. If you have difficulty with this step, spend a week living and working in Cuba.
Overcoming Liberalism: Step 4
Saturday, February 12th, 2011Step 4 of 12: Take a college level economics class
A Socialist is defined as someone who’s never taken an economics class. Most Socialists have a hard time balancing their checkbooks, let alone explaining the simple concept of supply-and-demand. It’s time to flush your complete ignorance of basic economics down the toilet and understand how the world actually functions. This concept will be very important for the next steps that involve communism, facts about corporations, and the inefficiencies of government.
