Theory and Facts

Theory and Facts
"Correct or not, the belief that “government spending was the only option” to keep the economy from imploding is itself a theory.
No data independent of some economic theory scream with crystalline clarity that increased government spending must substitute for collapsing private spending."

Very unfortunate for America.

Michigan Union Targets Legislator

Michigan Union Targets Legislator - Kyle Olson - Townhall Conservative
"This certainly isn’t unique.
Wisconsin unions took similar action against business owners who refused to condemn Gov. Scott Walker’s reform efforts.
How would the unions feel if tea party members protested outside the homes of public employees and their union bosses?
They don’t, because they understand that all Americans have the freedom to believe what they want to believe without having to fear for their safety or livelihoods"

The Sorry State of Liberal Compassion

Articles: The Sorry State of Liberal Compassion
"Of course, beyond the reckless sensationalism, the fact remains that those tax dollars are still funding responsible family clinics that provide those essential services.
They are only being denied to the ones who use the family planning cloak to shroud the evil butchery of abortion that appears at the top of their menu.

Nevertheless, with the stage set, Barack Obama waded into the fray with the trademark political thuggery he once used to brow-beat Arizonans over their immigration policy.
This time, showing the extent to which he is beholden to the abortion lobby, Obama has threatened to deny Indiana its federal Medicaid dollars if Hoosiers don't capitulate to his demands and restore Planned Parenthood's blood money."

Dozens of Republicans Vote for Handouts to Big Labor

Dozens of Republicans Vote for Handouts to Big Labor RedState
"Yesterday, the House passed the largely non-controversial Military Construction/Veterans Affairs Appropriations (MilCon) bill for FY 2012.
Unfortunately, it is these non-controversial bills which provide a safe haven for meretricious policy initiatives through the rapid fire amendment process.
While everyone was focused on presidential politics, the House passed an amendment forcing government contractors to use labor unions on federal construction projects.
Oh, and like most bad legislation, this amendment passed by one vote, with the help of 27 Republicans."

Very unfortunate for America.
