Some Random thoughts:

Home prices are falling. Is this a bad thing? Hasn’t the misguided federal housing policy sought to expand home ownership?  Could they be more successful in their failure than they thought they were when they were ‘successful’?    In an effort to create home ownership for those who could not afford it, they destroyed it for those who could.

Socialism is simply the supremacy of political self interest for economic self interest.  Every new exemption from the disastrous health care bill proves that further.  Every exemption is a frank admission of failure of central planning applied to health care.  Exempt everybody.  It’s called a free market.

Does anybody believe the official inflation numbers?

Humanitarian aid usually looks like food and medical supplies, not cruise missiles.  There is a difference between humanitarian relief and taking sides in a civil war.  See The Discovery and Use of American Exceptionalism,  my article in today’s American Thinker.

The Coffee Party is a top down effort from progressives to counter the bottom up Conservative Tea Party Movement.  Top down is already in disarray.  If you cannot define your mission, changing names will not help.  It will only confuse and weaken the existing organization.  The No Name party and the Coffee Party are just very unoriginal efforts to distance themselves from existing labels that have lost their luster.  It’s the ideas that are failing, not the labels.
