I have never been for an increase in socialized medicine. An increase, because socialized medicine is already here in many ways. One of the things that socialized medicine gives you is top-down decision making as to what is covered and what is not. There is no freedom of choice. Another problem is that entitlement leads to [...]

The Supreme court upheld the appellate court decision that the ban on handguns in Washington DC was unconstitutional. What was surprising was that 4 justices dissented. This case should have been a no-brainer. Whether you believe banning handguns is a good idea or not, the constitution clearly gives the right to bear arms. What this [...]

The definition of a “recession” is very clear and straightforward: Two consecutive quarters of negative growth. We have not yet had one consecutive quarter of negative growth. “Thomas Sowell”
After writing about Economic Power in the last post, I wanted to bring a little balanced perspective on the economy. I did not mean to sound too [...]

In the current election there is one clear and present issue for the economy. It is the oil-based energy needed for everything we do. Our economic machine cannot run without energy, and the most efficient energy source we have is oil. Over the last 30 years we have outsourced more and more of our economic [...]

Simply stated it says that we hypothesize from experience and then test our hypothesis by rigorous investigation to come to the facts as they can be discerned. We are limited to the realm of our senses, what we can see, hear, touch, [...]

Here is a link to George Will’s column on the habeas corpus ruling, it is very interesting. What begins to happen is that we start arguing about the purpose more than the law. How can so many legal minds be so split on what the law actually does? It is because it depends on how [...]

Psalm 5:3 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I array my watching.
Every morning the Father called his people to prayer. There was morning, noon and evening prayer in the life of God’s people throughout their history. In this verse I have retranslated the verse according to the [...]

Victor Davis Hanson has a great review of the Bush record on Iraq and the ridiculous assertions of the anti-war left. Whether we should have gone to war or not is certainly debatable in hindsight, but what has always bothered me was the way that the Democrats quickly abandoned the President when things went poorly.
