03/07/2010 02:57 PM ‘Panic on Wall Street?’ One of the oldest French banks, Societe Generale, tells clients how to prepare for potential global collapse within the next two years according to a headline in London’s Telegraph, Dec. 2, 2009! That was a “global” collapse! And some of my friends suggest that I am an extremist! Yes, I have said that panic (an out-of-control response to economic collapse) was coming to the U.S. and the world economy not because I am a prophet but because I can connect the dots. Moreover, I expect the panic to reach Main Street where chaos will reign. 03/07/2010 02:54 PM Virginia Decommissions the “Arts” The Lord God Almighty grants eternal life in the hereafter, but on earth it’s politicians who control immortality. So when the Virginia House of Delegates passes a budget that executes the Commission for the Arts, it’s big news. 03/07/2010 02:52 PM Women Need to Speak Out on Feminism and the Hateful Ideology it Represents March is Women’s History Month. Time to prepare ourselves for the annual Sista-fest of narcissistic victim-mongering, gleeful male-bashing, and shameless prevarication. 03/07/2010 02:51 PM A College Degree Is Not A Human Right! Whether you want to admit it or not, there are some people who have absolutely no business going to college. 03/07/2010 02:47 PM ‘Panic on Main Street?’ U.S debt is massive, now well over $12 trillion; that is $40,000 plus for every person in America!  It is not unthinkable or unprecedented although unlikely that the government could default and repudiate all debts including Social Security obligations, Medicare coverage, and military pensions along with all foreign debts. If that happened, millions of over-fifty people would storm the White House and Congress producing anarchy and maybe a Second American Revolution. Emulating the Reign of Terror in France in the 1790s, they might bring back the guillotine for procrastinating, privileged, and prevaricating politicians. Remember that the bloody French Revolution was precipitated by a looming bankruptcy as the politicians spent far more than their income. “But that could never happen here,” says the naive one. Of course not! 03/07/2010 02:45 PM Pelosi Backwards On “Tea Parties” and GOP Democrats continue to bounce between occasional brief attempts at pandering to grassroots America, and their more innate reversion to unrestrained contempt for the beliefs and sentiments of the heartland. In the process, they reveal a willingness to resort to any concocted lie in hopes of fooling enough of the people, enough of the time, to advance their insidious agenda. 03/07/2010 02:43 PM Every Night is Hockey Night in Canada Later this month I will have lived in the United States for ten years.  Although my affection for the United States grows with each passing year I will always be a Canadian at heart.  I was born, raised and lived in Canada for more than a quarter century. 03/07/2010 02:41 PM Crisis in Turkey The arrest and indictment of top military figures in Turkey last week precipitated potentially the most severe crisis since Atatürk founded the republic in 1923. The weeks ahead will probably indicate whether the country continues its slide toward Islamism or reverts to its traditional secularism. The denouement has major implications for Muslims everywhere. 02/28/2010 11:42 PM ‘Have You Found AllTheInternet?’ This site has no obvious advertising but opens a huge window into Internet Search. 02/28/2010 04:57 PM Eminent Domain as Central Planning Wielding creative definitions of blight, New York runs roughshod over property rights and uproots viable neighborhoods - Free markets are out of vogue. The unfortunate lesson that policymakers have learned over the past two years is that a big, brainy government that supposedly creates jobs is superior to irrational, faceless markets that just create catastrophic errors.
