Tom Mullins: Adam Kokesh is an internet celebrity and a war protestor who makes poor choices
Hot Air &bull Yesterday
Yesterday, I wrote about Adam Kokesh and his anti-military, anti-American actions which would make him a poor representative for New Mexico. He's running as a Republican in the primary, which is interesting considering his many affiliations with Marxist and liberal organizations, like CODEPINK, A.N.S.W.E.R., and of course, the Iraq Veterans Against the War. He's a liar and a phony who has been arrested multiple times and encouraged soldiers in Germany to go AWOL. Yet now, he parades himself as some kind of Constitutional crusader. Fortunately, there is an alternative. Tom Mullins is also running as a Republican to represent New… Full Story »

The Rube Goldberg Progressives
American Thinker &bull Yesterday
Progressives in America are wedded to the Rube Goldberg approach to the running of our economy. Rube Goldberg became famous through his cartoons depicting overly complex systems to accomplish simple tasks. Rube Goldberg's name has been adopted into theMerriam-Websterdictionary as an adjective used to describe accomplishing by complex means what seemingly could be done simply. From a scientific perspective, the Progressives who currently inhabit Washington D.C. need a physics lesson to dispel the faulty notion behind their Rube Goldberg economic system and economic perpetual motion machine. As an organic, self-organizing natural system, our… Full Story »

Stephen Herrington: A House Divided
Huffington Post &bull Mar 12, 2010
There is plenty of political blame to go around. Much needs to be done to re-reform the freshly deregulated financial system that took a scant ten years to bring us all to our financial knees. High finance seems to care not that the golden goose of America, its middle class, is all but gone. They care not that the higher profits of the next quarter will, one day soon, cease. It seems as if the less prosperous we become as a nation, the more important it is to focus on short term profits. Now everyone in politics fixates on the… Full Story »
