Rule by the cleverest brute dominated most of human history. Then came the bizarre notion – in Greece and Rome to degrees, but mostly in the USA – of rule by the governed. Rule by the governed gave way in 20th century to rule by experts. Many so called “conservatives” warned against the expert thing.… [Read more…]

In my response to Dan Riehl’s hit piece on Ed Martin, I wrote one more line than I should have. I wrote about an establishment takeover of Big Government. Mike Flynn, the editor of Big Government, has quietly (and not so quietly) led the fight for liberty and good government for decades. His Big Government… [Read more…]

Obama showed his breaking point today. The stress got to him. Today Obama threatened to stop Social Security payments if Congress doesn’t bend to his will on the debt ceiling. The president told reporters that there may not be enough money to pay Social Security benefits on and after August 3rd. But the President lies.… [Read more…]

Roy Blunt has not given an inch in the battle over the debt ceiling. He deserves high praise for his resolve. During the 2010 Republican primary, many on the right questioned Blunt’s fiscal conservative credentials. As a member of the House, Blunt had helped craft some and pass unpopular spending bills, including TARP. On the… [Read more…]

The mood in the country is gay Each year on the 12th of May; The whiskey is running For linguists so cunning On this, National Lim’rick Day.

The University of Missouri St. Louis uses tax dollars to provide a recruiting station for the Communist Party USA—an organization whose purpose is to shred the United States Constitution. UMSL Student Philip Christofanelli heroically chronicles the remarkable Marxist indoctrination known as “Introduction to Labor Studies” on BigGovernment.com. I’ll give you a taste: Prof. Giljum then… [Read more…]

Gail Hackett, UMKC Provost, released a deceitful, false, and irresponsible defense of UMKC instructors who encouraged students to use violence, sabotage, and intimidation to their way. But Gail Hackett refuses to answer hard questions. I have one question for the UMKC Provost: Do you agree with Don Giljum’s statement “I believe in a violent overthrow… [Read more…]

Almost pulled a muscle laughing in the ride from the Tucson airport to our hotel. It’s only 5:30 here. Weird. That call that “time difference” for you lefties who read my blog. Has to do with the earth being round and all. Been a whirlwind day so far. Met Trent and Jennifer Humphries, remarkable Tea… [Read more…]

Did I say “Tea Party Leader?” I meant labor union leader Don Giljum condones violence, intimidation, and sabotage. Giljum’s the business manager for Operating Engineers Local 148 and a lecturer at University of Missouri-St. Louis. It’s in the UMSL classroom that he pontificates and brags about the . . . the uglier side of negotiations.… [Read more…]

Take a look at Drudge. I’ll wait. The day doesn’t really matter. It’s always full of stuff that makes you think rivets are flying out of the planet like a jalopy in a cartoon. Two girls beat another girl into convulsions over the course of eight minutes while cowardly young men quiver in fear. (But… [Read more…]

Last week, Missouri became the first state to reject a federal bribe. Four brave men deserve our thanks and admiration. State Senators Jim Lembke (@jimlembke), Brian Nieves (@briannieves), Rob Schaaf (@robschaaf), and Will Kraus stood for principle. And the left immediately went berserk. The collectivists—those who hate personal achievement and fiscal responsibility in government—will target… [Read more…]
