My friend and I have been discussing this for a while now.  The theory put for by yet another academic on how to solve a very real life problem called urban blight. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_decay)  Many cities have suffered from the strain of “white flight” and even “black middle and upper class flight” as people who can [...]

As you know I’m working through a book on Mao’s last Cultural Revolution.  There are a number of stories in the book of how Mao and his supporters would target someone for punishment if they weren’t considered a proper revolutionary.  To say this was a crazy time, almost as chaotic as the French Revolution, is [...]

When Obama spoke in the state of the union speech people wanted to believe he was catching on.  When he visited the Republicans and started talking about spending too much money, people wanted to believe it had finally sunk in.
Me, I figured his stripes and spots are embedded far too deep to change [...]

The NPR concept is bad, period, at all kinds of levels.   But when it is run by career leftists it is even worse.  Why in the world would we want to fund a government propaganda organization?   Hasn’t history taught us about the perils of having the government promote its agenda through mass media??
At Riehl World [...]

This article is a must read for those who are trying to get a basic handle on Obama and his crew.  I pasted my comment at the site to this post.

Well stated and defined.  When VDH speaks I listen. I’ve commented on this before in a number of posts, trying to get a feel for [...]

Chavez is dictator crazy.  Dictator crazy isn’t crazy like he’s hearing voices or thinks that aliens are spying on him from outer space.  Dictator crazy is believing that you alone can change the world and you are willing to do anything it takes to make that happen.  You could be very sincere about this as [...]

The PJTV people have a guy named Crowder who goes around doing satire video to point out the absolute foolishness of the left’s ideas.  He’s funny.  Several months ago, he went to Canada to investigate Canadian healthcare and found it to be lacking.  Now he’s in Detroit with a thirteen minute video showing the ugly [...]

I posted this over at Redstate in reply to the author’s anger at the Dems cheating- again. It’s worth putting here as it relates to Mao and Obama and how to foster a revolution inside a nation.
As I’ve posted before, I’m working my way through the book on Mao’s last Cultural Revolution. Remember when this [...]

From Redstate.  They posted Dick Cheney’s recent speech.  I heard he slapped Obama around in his usual style.  I have a friend who can do the same thing and had the opportunity to witness such a verbal beating once or twice.  He could spend twenty minutes insulting you with a smile and a warm tone [...]

For a long time I’ve been comparing Obama to Mussolini in his nature, personality even his jaw jutting head tilt.  I got the sense that BO wanted to be some kind of soft dictator, controlling everything in everyone’s life- for their own good.  Angelo Codevilla from the American Spectator writes a striking article about how [...]
