It’s really difficult to be objective about something one despises so much, but here goes. Why hate a bureaucrat or bureaucracy? Simply because they are so inefficient, self serving, wasteful, costly, and pervasive, if that’s reason enough.. Let’s examine the problems with one, and see how they are literally destroying the dollar we all measure […]
Well, this day after election, many a good man will find he has been replaced because he failed to bring in enough government loot from Washington. Did you ever figure what constitutes our modern representative? It’s the one that can bring home the new Federal Post Office, even it they wasn’t using the old one. […]
We all know that the dollar is being recklessly printed, and numbers increased by all possible means. These include bureaucracy, bonds, T-bills, foreign investments, and every known way to spend, and debase the currency. Bureaucracies are one of the most offending, currency debilitating devices known to man, be they in the private or public sector. […]
I have often wondered whether politicians gave a second’s thought as to what their speeches, remarks, and actions would have as far as the future of the world or their own nation. Take Bush’s Sate of the Union speech of a few years ago, when he came out with the now famous “Axis of Evil” […]
Million, that is. In 1940, the population of Mexico was 20 million, and now it is 140 million, or half the population of the whole U.S. Mexico is crammed full. Why? because it is mostly Roman Catholic and they don’t believe in birth control? Because, as some say, it is the goal of most Mexican […]

Greenhouses then, are wonderful. Shouldn’t the gases in them be the same? Not according to the greenies and weepy, teeth gnashing environmentalists. You know them. […]
When a lad of 18, I decided to explore the American West, which I had read so much about. I took my 1941 Plymouth and headed out. I kept a diary of each day’s expenses, and counting meals, gas, motel, etc, I did indeed keep it to $30 per day. Motels then were maybe $3-$4 […]
One Charles Silberman once remarked: “It is not possible to spend any prolonged period visiting public school classrooms without being appalled by the mutilation visible everywhere – mutilation of spontaneity, of joy in learning, of pleasure in creating, of sense of self. The public schools – those “killers of the dream,” to appropriate a phrase […]
Time Magazine reports that 63% of Americans ages 18 – 24 can’t find Iraq on a map, and 50% can’t locate New York State, however 46 million Americans voted on American Idol (whatever that is). It all boils down to a simple fact, and that is that ’public education’ is on a par with everything […]
It has become an accepted religious belief in D.C. that the bird flu is as sure to come as the sunset, and that millions may die. Of course only a hundred have died so far all around the world., and it has never mutated from birds to humans, but guess what? Bush wants $7.2 billion […]
