The debate over whether or not Barack Obama is a socialist is beginning to gain some traction with the frequent references by Sarah Palin and John McCain to Obama’s desire to “spread the wealth around”. The media consensus is that attempting to brand Obama as a socialist is counter productive because the American people do [...]

America has been moving toward socialism for many years. The irony is that the final steps were taken by a Republican administration and a Republican candidate for President. Even if McCain wins the election—and I still believe he will—, the damage inflicted on the Constitution and our capitalist economy will take years to repair. That [...]

The Senate tonight passed the bailout bill rejected by the house on Monday. In order to win over Republican support a number of “goodies” were added to make it more acceptable to them. To bypass the Constitutional requirement that all revenue bills originate in the House of Representatives it was passed as an amendment to [...]
