Colorado Rep Candidate Eric Weissmann

Mr. Weissmann is a Republican running for the GOP nomination to oppose Jared Polis (Socialist- Boulder) in Colorado’s 2nd District. When I analyze Republicans, I find that they fall into one of 3 primary factions: Neocon, Tea Party, or Libertarian.  Based on some hedged responses to questions I posed Mr. Weissmann, I’m certain he’s not [...]

The Gaia Movement

The Gaia movement, the ideological paradigm that views the earth as a singular living organism, is a variant of progressivism.  It is an ideology that especially appeals to self-hating, guilt-afflicted, socialist caucasians.  Progressivism is an ideology that views inequity (inequality of outcome) as inherently evil, caused primarily by selfish individuals acting without restraint, and which can only be remedied via [...]

Obamacare and SCOTUS Blowback

Hearing reports of Supremes peppering Obama’s Soliciter General Verilli with hostile questions about the “mandate”, I couldn’t help but be reminded of the hostility Obama directed towards the SCOTUS regarding Campaign Finance Reform during his State of the Union Address.

Obama’s Progressive Ideology… Without Limits

The sad case of Zimbabwe, wrecked by “redistribution of wealth”, identity (racist) politics, autocratic rule, central planning, inflation, class warfare, cronyism, etc. is essentially the outgrowth of “Progressivism” carried to the extreme. Individuals, civil rights, rule of law, private property, etc. hold no sway with Progressives… only favored identity groups and the accumulation of power [...]

As a Couty and State delegate, I get emails from GOP candidates.  Here’s an email repsonse I sent to one: Hello Mr. Weir,     Thank you for your email.  As a County and State delegate, I feel it is my responsibility to vet the GOP candidates.  I have a couple of questions for you [...]

Graphic Portrayal of the Relentless Expansion of Bureaucracy

How Does America Compare to Other Repressive Regimes?

Americans often proclaim our nation as a symbol of freedom to the world while dismissing nations such as Cuba and China as categorically unfree. Yet, objectively, we may be only half right. Those countries do lack basic individual rights such as due process, placing them outside any reasonable definition of “free,” but the United States [...]

Senator Decries Internet Protest

Current DC lobbyist (aka corporate rent-seeker) and former Senator Chris Dodd (Corporatist, CT), says that it’s an “abuse of power” for websites to protest congressional abuse of power.

Desperate Krugman Attacks Ron Paul

According to inflationist Krugman… Unfortunately, Paul has maintained his consistency by ignoring reality, clinging to his ideology even as the facts have demonstrated that ideology’s wrongness. And, even more unfortunately, Paulist ideology now dominates a Republican Party that used to know better. Read more Points of Clarification: 1) Krugman says “the Federal Reserve doesn’t actually [...]
