The South Korean government has brought about superior outcomes than the much heavier handed, authoritarian measures of China, Italy, the U.S., and virtually every other afflicted nation.
Individual Rights vs. Statist Wishes: So-Called “Right to Health Care”
In order for government to provide medical services to someone who cannot afford it, it must use intimidation, threats, and coercion to take the earnings of another American to provide that service.
Moral Hazard

Senator Elizabeth Warren: Central Planner for ‘State Capitalism’
Warren herself would have made a bad president, but of far more concern was her potential to act as a force multiplier for bad presidents down the road.
Liberals Should Reject Welfare Statism
The decades-old “social liberalism” of the progressives has finally “come out of the closet” to, now, boastfully declare what it has always been – a form of socialism but made milder in sound with the modifier “democratic” in front of it.
Forbidden Parenting
Some parents are so neglectful that government should intervene, but not by “telling us every little detail how to raise our children.”
Mike Bloomberg’s Nanny State
Bloomberg may not be a communist, but he is no principled, limited-government capitalist, either. Bloomberg, unfortunately, is yet another unprincipled power-hungry political egomaniac.

Capitalism vs Socialism: The “Mixed” Economy Has Mixed Everything Up in People’s Minds

The Worst Enemy of Black People According to Malcolm X
“The worst enemy that the Negro have is this white man that runs around here drooling at the mouth professing to love Negros and calling himself a liberal, and it is following these white liberals that has perpetuated problems that Negros have.” — Malcom X
President Trump’s Impeachment Trial is a Political and Not a Legal Process
“Impeachment is whatever Congress says it is. There is no law.”

Whoever wins… taxpayers lose.
Diversity and Inclusion Insanity
“There are some ideas so absurd that only an intellectual could believe them.”
Ilhan Omar and Steve King: A Tale of Two Flamethrowers
For a party that considers Republicans racist/bigoted/sexist, how do Democrats somehow, someway manage to tolerate, if not embrace, Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn?
