The Obamacare Mandate Is Not a Tax

The Illogic of Paul Krugman

Leftists have such a difficult time with simple logic.  They make it so easy for non-experts like me to pick apart their arguments. Whenever I can force myself to listen, for the sheer horror of it, to a few minutes of President Obama's rhetoric...

Critique of (Im-)Pure Conservative Labels

Stupid Republicans are suckered every day into parroting leftist propaganda words, right?  But we conservatives, we're too wily to fall for such leftist chicanery; we see right through their verbal malefactions every time. Not.  Hate to bre...

Stupid Republicans, Ignorant Democrats

There was a time when the words "stupid" and "ignorant" actually had definitions that differentiated them unambiguously.  The original etymological meanings behind these words can provide crucial insights into the profound difference, at a found...
