Photo Gallery: East Germany’s Transformation

Photo Gallery: East Germany’s Transformation – SPIEGEL ONLINE – International.

For those who have any sort of sympathy with the anti-capitalist memes of the OWS gang, here’s a very revealing gallery published by Der Spiegel. It’s a great comparison of the old communist East Germany and today, a little over 20 years since the [...]

The thugocracy at work.

David Dufour — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 13:32:35 +0000

With every exposure of this kind of blatant anti-business, dare I say, anti-American focus from our overstuffed government, it becomes apparent that a command-and-control economy is what the current bunch in Washington really wants.

The good thing is that they DO let their guards down once in a while, and we see the agenda(s) [...]

Andrew Breitbart Distilled

David Dufour — Sat, 03 Mar 2012 02:05:23 +0000

This review of some of his comments from Fox News encapsulates what Andrew Breitbart was all about. He was ruthless and fearless, but he wasn’t a liar. He was direct and didn’t back down, but he wasn’t a bully (although I think sometimes Hannity is). Breitbart saw with great clarity what the radical left [...]

Why Newt won’t quit – and why I think he shouldn’t

David Dufour — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 16:25:27 +0000

The Politico today says that Newt won’t quit, even though he’s likely to lose Florida, and I don’t think he should. I’m not sure he’s the best candidate against Obama, but if he stays in, he’ll make Romney a better candidate. Romney has already gotten better from a debate standpoint. Romney has had to [...]

Support the Pipeline

David Dufour — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 22:10:34 +0000

Dick Morris at Dickmorris.com makes the case that the Keystone Pipeline project can still go forward, but it will take congressional action at this point. The president’s dog-ate-my-homework excuse for blocking the project is curious, at best, even to liberals, and it hurts our prospects for lower energy prices and REAL energy independence [...]

More fallout from Obamacare

David Dufour — Sat, 12 Nov 2011 01:25:18 +0000

This story from the Detroit Free Press (excerpted below) will be repeated many times as we approach the time when/if the health care law takes effect. In our own area, this has to be affecting the medical companies in Warsaw.

The plain fact is, the health care law will cost more and more [...]

If you’re ticked off at banks, this actually makes some sense

David Dufour — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 19:59:01 +0000

Occupy Wall Street has made little sense to us from its inception — Wall Street is, in our opinion, not nearly as culpable in the current economic downturn as are Fannie, Freddie, Chris and Barney. But where banks have done wrong (and there are some good arguments here), we applaud the “vote with your [...]

The Solyndra scandal should never have happened

David Dufour — Sun, 02 Oct 2011 14:57:17 +0000

Dick Morris reports on how the Solyndra scandal goes pretty much to the top, but here’s what we think is the ultimate point: Governement subsidies in the “green jobs” are morally and economically indefensible. Here’s Dick:

The Solyndra scandal is a gift that keeps on giving. It shows that not only was Obama’s stimulus [...]

We need a better bedtime story — Noonan in WSJ.

David Dufour — Sat, 01 Oct 2011 13:42:11 +0000

Peggy Noonan talks about failure of leadership — in both parties — but this astonishing excerpt from Ron Suskind’s Obama interview is what particularly grabbed me.

I return to Ron Suskind’s book, “Confidence Men.” As noted last week, Mr. Suskind has been criticized for getting quotes and facts wrong. But the White House hasn’t [...]
