The President Still Moving To The Left


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 world are invested here from countries by investors who are fleeing their own confiscatory tax rates such as France, Germany and Sweden. The dark side of me wants the Republicans to call the Presidents bluff and allow him to run the economy into an economic ditch. This will put the Democrats into an awkward position of defending themselves in the 2014 midterms for supporting Obama's failed record. Was it just me or did anyone else get that same dirty feeling when Hugh Chavez endorsed Obama?

The Legend Of The Unarmed White Man (Revised)

Image
The August 2014 shooting death of unarmed black teen Mike Brown in St. Louis by a white police officer and the subsequent decision by the grand jury not to indict has brought unrest to American Streets. The protestors feel that police are shooting and killing mostly unarmed black men at alarming rates. Many also believe that police interaction amongst white's is all together different due to the benefits of "white privilege". "If that had of been a white man..." is a common refrain from blacks when speaking of a negative experience with a white police officer. The media plays an integral role in these perceptions by continuously assaulting us with images of black victims and white perpetrators. In light of the Brown incident and other controversial shootings this year, the adjective attached to these perceived victims is "unarmed". The term is a staple in the lexicon of the American media which has painted a false sense of reality for millions of Ame

BP Crisis Brings Out Radical Left

Image
Once again the left, with the help of Jesse Jackson shows its ignorance of and hatred for capitalism. The BP crisis which began with the explosion of an offshore oil rig which resulted in a fire that killed 19 people. The pipe located one mile undersea began to spew oil into the gulf and has for over fifty days now. The Reverend has been for weeks calling for a boycott of BP. Now comes word that several BP stations have been vandalized. The fact that such vitriol and anger results from what was clearly a tragic accident is surely tragic in itself. Someone should explain to the reverend that oil companies exited the gas station business years ago. The stations are by and large owned by franchisees and independent operators who squeeze out razor thin margins on gasoline-hence the reason for the lottery tickets, potato chips and soft drinks that has become a staple of these often family owned businesses. To make matters worse, the Rev. Jackson stated that "the mom and pop stations a

Uncovering A Gigantic Royal Scam

Image
The old saying "Too many chiefs and not enough Indians" is by modern standards politically incorrect. However there is a new phenomena that is could take its place. There seems to be too many Kings and Queens and not enough subjects. Peruse Facebook and one will see untold references to "Black Kings" and "Black Queens" which is intended to foster self esteem in the black community. What is wrong with this one may ask? It is built on a ridiculous premise, historical ignorance and grotesque revisionism. For starters, every culture at one time or another has been ruled by monarchs. So by this logic every Anglo British citizen is a King or a Queen since they still have a symbolic monarchy today. Kings and Queens are mere titles-not character traits. Monarchs were selected by either bloodline or bloody conquest. Some of the most dastardly rulers in history were Kings. King John, Herod, Leopold, Caligula are just a few-African rulers were hardly an exception. I
