**Posted by Phineas It’s a heckuva busy day today with little time for posting, but I have to share this gem via Steven Hayward at Power Line. It’s an excerpt from a longer quote from Winston Churchill’s closing speech in the 1945 General Election, which the Conservatives sadly lost. Read these two paragraphs, and tell me if [...]

The idea being that the problems will grow so great that [...]

 

Venezuela’s oppressive socialist dictator Hugo #Chavez dies, MSM swoons

Posted by: ST on March 5, 2013 at 6:49 pm » 8 Comments

I went on a rant about this on Twitter earlier this evening – and Storified it and some of the responses I received for your viewing/reading pleasure (or displeasure). NBC, CNN, Reuters, and especially the Associated Press couldn’t help but mention how Chavez supposedly did “so much for the poor”, even though a couple of [...]

 

Sunday Book Review: “The Communist,” a biography of Barack Obama’s mentor

**Posted by Phineas Mentors matter. For better or worse, there are people who, in our formative years, influence the way we see the world and how we act to shape it in our adult life. And if the mentored individual becomes a powerful person –President of the United States, for example– then the mentor’s influence [...]

**Posted by Phineas Man, between the blatant display of anti-Israel and borderline antisemitic sentiment yesterday and their satisfaction at finding their American identity through government, the nation’s Democratic activists are really showing America what their party stands for. But wait, there’s more! Posing as an anti-business crusader, Peter Schiff found a number of DNC delegates [...]

 

Barack Obama: Can we call him a Socialist now?

**Posted by Phineas Oh, my. Take a look at this: It’s a reminder that the President presented himself as much more progressive during his time in Chicago.

This breathtakingly stupid slide show from Team Obama about how a fictitious woman named “Julia” will fare in life under “Obama’s policies” versus “Romney’s policies”  represents the absolute rot of this administration”s “belief system”: govt over individual, with government being the “savior” and the individual being the “helpless victim” who needs rescuing from Democrats. Here’s [...]

**Posted by Phineas That is, the elite, cocktail-swirling Democratic Socialist one-percent: Last Friday night, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) held their 54th Annual Eugene V. Debs–Norman Thomas–Michael Harrington Award Dinner at the Holiday Inn Mart Plaza in Chicago. You of course might not expect anything too fancy from a group so devoted to the [...]
