Spreading The Wealth: Is It Socialism?
It's been an interesting week so far as reaction to the whole Joe The Plumber escapade has heightened people's awareness of Barack Obama's agenda.
For the sake of full disclosure, and ensuring people don't accuse me of taking his words out of context, you can see the full transcript of the conversation between Obama and Joe here. I'm going to focus on one sentence that Obama said:
I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody.One can argue a hundred different opinions on this topic, and there's been a lot of comments around how this is a Socialist agenda (and many consider this to be pretty obvious). However, the new argument from the Left is that there's nothing new here that make Obama's plans more Socialist than we are today. Or more Socialist than we have been for nearly 100 years.

They now admit there is no such child. Soboroff admitted the hoax when interviewed by KGAN-TV of Cedar Rapids, but said[...]
Voting Fraud: Risks Of An Open Society
The Supreme Court today backed the petition of the Ohio Secretary of State's position that they did not need to verify the records of about 200,000 new voters this years whose ID information did not match government records. That's more than 25% of the new voter registrations in Ohio.
Although it's a fairly partisan confrontation, it highlights something that is becoming more endemic across our fruited plane: in our attempts to ensure that people are able to exercise their right to vote, we are becoming more and more at risk of exposing a larger segment of ballots to fraud.
The problem extends beyond just the sublime attempts to[...]
Government Intervention
One of the reasons the Dow Industrials index rose 936 points and the broader indices rose more than 11% in one day was because on a global scale governments decided to inject capital into banks and financial institutions. As I read today’s Wall Street Journal,...Stay in Touch
