What’s in a word? Well, often times…everything! In this case, understanding what ‘Capitalism‘ really is, and more importantly, where the term came from, can reveal a startling revelation: that ‘Capitalism‘ is not the same things as the free market! Now, this is not going to be a short…
“Scaramouche, scaramouche, will you do the fandango?” ~ Queen, Bohemian Rhapsody (1975) I’m kind of on a retro-Queen roll the last couple of days. A scaramouche is defined as “a stock character in commedia dell’arte and farce who is a cowardly braggart, easily beaten and frightened.” The “fandango” is a lively Spanish dance for two…
I’m just a poor boy, nobody loves me. He’s just a poor boy from a poor family, Spare him his life from this monstrosity. ~ Queen, Bohemian Rhapsody (1975) Self-exoneration. It’s all the rage with contemporary progressives. The University of Missouri’s Melissa Click the White Chick, she who just had her career options freed up…
Let’s takes a step back and assess a bit shall we? In contemporary America, we are witnessing the following: Men (as biologically defined) who claim they are women and women (as biologically defined) claiming to be men; Feminists theorizing that men should be confined to concentration camps; Pedophilia is claimed to be just another sexual…
If you ever watched Schoolhouse Rock, you should know this number. I think you’ll get a good laugh from this parody by LouderWithCrowder’s Steven Crowder:
As the GOP convention nears, Cruz is wisely preparing for a contested convention. Because this hasn’t happened since 1948, many people (including Trump) are confused about the delegate process. The way I understand it is that when a candidate wins a state, he is granted a certain number of pledged delegates. If the winning candidate…
The other day I decided to try floating. No, I didn’t drop acid and start tripping; I literally floated in salt water. Isolation floating tanks have become all the rage, you see. If you do a Google search, you may be surprised to find a floating spa near you. Don’t search as I did, because…
I ran across this article when I was in the middle of getting my mind wrapped around the damage that the current general rejections of reason, logic and natural law in favor of relativism, absurdity and crimes against nature are doing to global societies in general and American society in specific. I have been…
There is literally nothing which the consistent collectivist must not be prepared to do if it serves ‘the good of the whole,’ because that is to him the only criterion of what ought to be done. ~ F. A. Hayek, The Road to Serfdom (1944) The remarkable thing about the socialist idea that “income…
Why? Why are you still listening to Limbaugh? Now, before you think this is a rhetorical question, or some sort of attack: STOP! I am sincerely asking you to tell me why you are still listening to him? I want to know. Me? I try, but it has become as difficult to listen to Limbaugh…
“The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.” “The question is,” said Humpty Dumpty, “which is to be master— that’s all.” ~ Lewis Carroll, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865) A concept many are not familiar with but should be is “deconstruction” – deconstruction is defined as “a theory…
“There’s no justice in the distribution of income and wealth. I never would argue there is. Those who are wealthy don’t deserve to be wealthy anymore than those who are poor deserve to be poor. It’s pure accident. And we — but if you start to look at things that way, you’re going to go…
Beyond the twin rolling disasters that are the Democrat and GOP primaries, one must wonder what it says about our country that the two current leaders, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, have unfavorable ratings of 54% and 63% respectively (in the RCP averages) and the candidate with the least unfavorable ratings is the “democratic socialist”,…
