The Conservative Sage

I am certain I"m not the only one who has grown nauseous hearing about the so called Fiscal cliff. The alleged economic meltdown that is supposed to happen if the spending cuts and the  Bush tax cuts are allowed to expire in January. The only way to highlight the clear difference between the right and the clearly destructive policies of the left is to allow them their failed economic experiment. Obama's obsession with raising taxes on the rich will result in slower economic growth and will almost certainly throw the U.S. into a recession. The best examples of the fruits of liberal economic policies are the states of California, Michigan and Illinois. High taxes, union control and bloated benefits packages for public workers are the recipe for a failed state and country.  For several years now the President has blamed his predecessor for his failures.The only logical choice is to allow Obama and the left to destroy the economy, therefore killing his blam...

One of America's best known and loved snack brands appears to be headed for certain death. Hostess Brands, the 85 year old maker of such beloved snacks as Twinkies, Ding Dongs, and Wonder Bread will shut its doors after failing to reach a deal on pension and benefit cuts with its bakers union. The closing with cost more than 18,000 workers their jobs, the closing of 36 plants and further add to the country's unemployment woes. The trouble began when when the January 2012 bankruptcy allowed Hostess to force the bakers union to accept an 8% wage cut and increased health care cost for employees. A subsequent strike on November 9th resulted in tense negotiations over the new agreement . The teamsters union accepted the deal, the bakers union refused to accept any more wage cuts, giving Hostess no choice but to ask the court for permission to liquidate. The ability of union cult members to remain unaware of their irrelevance is astonishing. Unions have kille...

We now know that President Obama's reality show will survive for another four years. The question is will America. The much publicized fiscal cliff is approaching  and despite the president's conciliatory rhetoric his core dogma remains the same: tax the wealthy. If one were to look over the presidents plan, it's clear that 85% of it seeks to redistribute wealth by punishing upper income earners and corporations. Some of the Presidents favorite targets are still in his sights, energy companies, and Wall Street traders. Since the election, the stock market has fallen off a cliff of its own, its been down over 700 pts. In large part because investors are fearing the coming changes in the capital gains rate coming the first of the year. If the President gets his way and increases tax rates on the upper income, expect the stock market to slide deeper into the abyss. American institutional investors are not the only ones to consider. Billions of dollars from around the worl...

Every year a survey is released with a list the most dangerous professions in America. There is the convenience store worker, the police officer or the coal miner. I have a new entry to the list: any celebrity who happens to expresses an opinion that the left doesn't. These past few months of the election season has had a few powerful examples of the viciousness of the left.  Twitter seems to be the staging ground for their vile attacks. Actress Stacey Dash, former star of  "Clueless" tweeted her support for Mitt Romney and the left went bananas with some of the most hateful personal attacks such as "dumb","stupid' and of course... "clueless". Actress Mellisa Joan Hart suffered the same abuse from so called liberals after tweeting she too would vote Romney/Ryan. One tweeting twit suggested that she "punch yourself in your uterus". Just this week, everyones favorite Pinata Kim Kardashian was the latest target. Given this weeks on-...

Blacks America's shockingly blind loyalty to the Democratic party continues to reap horrible results. Who can forget the stunning re-election of D.C. Mayor Marion Barry after he was caught on an FBI surveillance tape smoking crack with a woman in a seedy motel room back in 1990. In 2006 Louisiana congressman William 'Dollar Bill" Jefferson was indicted on bribery charges after he was observed by the FBI receiving a $100,000 bribe-$10,000 of which was found by the Feds in his freezer! This didn't stop Jefferson from being re-elected in 2007. Now this gem, Brian Banks, a felon was elected to State office in Detroit. Banks was convicted 8 times for credit card and check fraud  between 1998 and 2004. The Democrat defeated his Republican challenger Dan Schulte by a margin of 68-32%. This is from the same voters who are just a couple of years removed from the culture of corruption that was former Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick's administration. Kilpatrick left of...

President Obama's victory over Mitt Romney is perplexing for those of us on the right for many reasons. The Presidents economic policies have stunted the growth of the worlds most vibrant economy. His class war 'soak the rich" rhetoric has divided the nation in a manner never before seen. A glimpse of the electoral map shows how divided we really are. Governor Romney captured victory in the south, and in strong conservative states such as Oklahoma, Kansas and Minnesota Indiana.  The states where traditional values such as faith, family, entrepreneurship and patriotism hold steady. Obama's remains popular in the secular bastions of the northeast and Northwest where same sex marriage, higher taxes, unfettered immigration and identity politics are par for the course. The map clearly shows that America is indeed becoming two nations with irreconcilable differences. The cultural divides are the most troubling. The Democrats have successfu...

It was confirmed yesterday that Secretary Of State Hilary Clinton will be Stepping down next year. It has been a very tumultuous year for Mrs. Clinton. There was the Arab spring,Syria, and the Benghazi Libya terrorist attacks that left four Americans dead for which she held herself personally responsible. Many saw this mea culpa as her falling on her sword for President Obama. For Susan Rice, America's UN representative, it has been far worse in a more devastating way. She was trotted out to five Sunday talk shows to spin the Benghazi attack as a "spontaneous reaction" to the widely publicized anti- Islamic video circulating on you tube. Evidence would later emerge that would render those claims dubious at best. The emails and timeline exposed by the state Department and the intelligence services would later show that the attack was likely to have been an coordinated attack by an Al qaida affiliate in Libya. Ms. Rice for a...

 President Barack Obama was elected Tuesday by over 2 million votes over Republican challenger Mitt Romney. Obama secured his re-election with decisive victories in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Iowa and Michigan. The President was also able to emerge victorious in the bellwether State of Ohio by just 51,000 votes. The pundits are of course writing the GOP's obituary and projecting a long absence from the White House. The Democrats also pick up two Senate seats. The calls for Republicans soul searching and re-branding have already begun. One of the clearest differences between the two sides is the left's mastery of pandering politics. The Democrats have made a very good living off of what talk show Dennis Prager has termed the liberal trinity: race, gender, class. They continuously pat themselves on the back for the 'diversity' in their ranks-I call it exploitation. Each election cycle, blacks and other minority groups are trotted out and manipulated  into...
