Articles: It's Slipping Away

Articles: It's Slipping Away: "Yes, it is slipping away.  The final resting place for this most disagreeable journey will be the fate of all collectivist societies -- poverty and squalor.  Friederick Hayek best expressed these futures in "The Road to Serfdom."  But why study and work hard to avoid Hayek's bleak vision when it's easier to be dependent on the welfare state, all financed by someone else's largesse?  Until the money runs out, of course, which it always does."

Articles: Obama vs. Romney: The Kitty Genovese Test: "That is why the left is against the death penalty even for the worst murderers, who are never held responsible for their actions.  It's all society's fault.  Today Obama is probably still against the death penalty, even while he decides who is going to be assassinated by a Predator drone in Yemen or Pakistan the next day. "

Obama: Most people would “acknowledge that I’ve tried real hard” « Hot Air

Obama: Most people would “acknowledge that I’ve tried real hard” « Hot Air: "Unfortunately for President Obama, this is America — and in America, we have winners, and we have losers. There’s success, and there’s failure. There’s no “A for effort,” no participation award, no “Most Improved” accolade — especially not when you’re the President of the United States and your actions unilaterally affect hundreds of millions of people’s daily lives. “Trying” is not “doing.” President Obama has had a ‘fair shot’ at fixing things, and he has failed to do so — it’s time to give somebody else a try."

Obama’s Goose Is Cooked - Larry Kudlow - National Review Online

Obama’s Goose Is Cooked - Larry Kudlow - National Review Online: "So much for Obamanomics. Didn’t work. Still isn’t working. As the JEC put it, spending stimulus, housing bailouts, auto bailouts, financial bailouts, cash for clunkers, cash for caulkers, and $5 trillion in deficit spending left the Obama recovery dead last in modern times."

American Twilight - Mark Steyn - National Review Online

American Twilight - Mark Steyn - National Review Online: "But no advanced society has ever attempted Big Government for a third of a billion people — for the simple reason that it cannot be done without creating a nation with the black-hole finances of Stockton, Calif., and the Black-Hole-of-Calcutta fetid, airless, sweatbox utility services of Rockville, Md. Thanks to Obamacare, in matters of health provision, whether you’re in favor of socialized medicine or truly private health care, Swedes and Italians are now freer than Americans: They have a state system and a private system, and both are relatively simple. What’s simple in micro-regulated America? In health care, we now have what’s nominally a private system encrusted with so many statist barnacles that it no longer functions as either a private or a state system."
