I recommend Sarah A. Hoyt‘s latest blog post on the state of today’s job market. Her upcoming installments also look promising. I had some thoughts on it and wanted to share them here as well. This is spot on, Sarah. Thank you. There are a number of contributing factors to this, some of which you…
Looters of the Spirit of Science
Asking challenging questions about a new, experimental medical treatment isn’t “anti-science.” It’s anti-authoritarian. What today’s medical fascists and their hangers-on are objecting to when you do this is your failure to obey a preselected set of authorities, chosen not by you, but by them. They’re objecting to your insistence on independent thought and judgement if you don’t…
Corporate Wokeness On Trial
It’s become an article of faith among many in the C-Suite of corporate executives that it’s the responsibility of companies today to engage in political activism. Yet the public, by and large, disagrees. “While 63% of corporate executives “agree unequivocally that companies should speak out on social issues,” only 36% of voters feel the same,…
Welcome to Parallel Author
Parallel Author is a new blog of cultural commentary. Penned by fantasy author Tony Andarian, its central theme is about cultural reform through the creation of parallel structures. It builds on and repurposes a brief but now obsolete political blog from the last decade, whose articles are preserved here as well. For more information about…
A Politically Motivated “Stress Test”
Given the actual strength of BB&T’s reserves and its well-earned reputation for financial soundness, what should the reader make of the Fed’s decision? It doesn’t take a genius to recognize it as a politically motivated hatchet job — and specifically, as political payback for former BB&T CEO John Allison’s truth-telling in his book, “The Financial Crisis and the Free Market Cure.”
The Looters of Virtue
I’m no admirer of president Obama, but even I was surprised to hear him say something as idiotic and contemptible as this: “If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that…
The Open Fraud of Social Security
Well, if someone has to take the hit and not be repaid — and someone does, with any Ponzi Scheme when it finally collapses — then it should be the current and pending generations of recipients. They are the ones who are responsible for allowing such a corrupt system to continue for so long, and who fought against efforts to reform it in the previous decade.
Herman Cain: Another RINO Phony
So Herman Cain turns out to be just another bailout-loving RINO phony. And he has the nerve to rail against people who object to being ripped off to bail out his politically connected banking buddies as “free market purists?”
The “Homer Simpson Approach” to Social Security
I’m pleased to note that Paul Hsieh’s latest article on PajamasMedia quotes from and links to my post On Eliminating Social Security, here on the Repeal the Bailouts Blog: The Homer Simpson Approach to Social Security by Paul Hsieh Paul’s article is excellent, as always. Like my post, it shines a light on the “dirty…
