‘Real World’ Markets and the Benefits of Capitalism
Y’know, sometimes it amazes me how otherwise-intelligent people can fail to see or understand some things that seem so obvious to me. The benefits of free-market capitalism is one of those things. Despite the evidence from the past couple hundred years, some people — even among our leaders in Washington, D.C., apparently — still seem [...]
Why the ‘Occupy’ Crowd Should Be Thankful
Note to self: Need to come up with something Thanksgiving-themed to post before traveling for the holidays. Hmmm, what to write, what to write…? Ah, I know… “Everybody’s been too damn polite about this nonsense: …’Occupy’ is nothing but a pack of louts, thieves, and rapists, an unruly mob, fed by Woodstock-era nostalgia and putrid [...]
Why Capitalism Is the Best Thing Goin’
We hear a lot these days — even before all the ‘Occupy Wall Street’ nonsense — about the evils of capitalism. They say it is inherently corrupt, immoral, selfish, unfair, and brutal. It’s based on pure greed and exploitation. I say, “Baloney!” People are by nature imperfect and selfish, some more than others, so anywhere [...]
Jewish Freedom and the Free Market
This entry is part 8 of 9 in the series Jews and LiberalismIn today’s excerpt from Why Jews Should NOT Be Liberals (2001, rev. 2006), Larry Sternberg returns to the issue of free market capitalism, its benefits, and what part a good Jew should play in the system…. Most observers of American politics would agree [...]
Socialism, Liberalism, and American Jews
This entry is part 6 of 9 in the series Jews and LiberalismIn his book Why Jews Should NOT Be Liberals (2001, rev. 2006), Larry F. Sternberg gives a bit of history, explaining how Jews in the late-18th & early-19th centuries came to think so highly of “socialism”. Unfortunately, they did not understand the true, [...]
Liberals, Jews, and Class Warfare (Part 2 of 2)
This entry is part 4 of 9 in the series Jews and LiberalismHere is another excerpt from the terrific book Why Jews Should NOT Be Liberals (2001, rev. 2006) by Larry F. Sternberg. Specifically, we continue from the last post, in which Sternberg (with insights from Thomas Sowell and Judge Robert Bork) looked at the [...]
Newt's War on the SECULAR Socialist Machine
“[E]ven more disturbing than the threats from foreign terrorists is a second threat that is right here at home. It is an ideology so fundamentally at odds with historic American values that it threatens to undo the cultural ethics that have made our country great. I call it ‘secular-socialism.’” – Newt Gingrich A few weeks [...]
Progress and Progressivism in American Politics
I was reading the other day in Dinesh D’Souza’s book What’s So Great about America?. There is a chapter in which D’Souza discusses how the West became the dominant civilization in the modern era owing to its “invention” of science, democracy, & capitalism. A concept central to the flourishing of these enterprises is “the idea [...]
This Ain't No Waterloo
Stupak and the Blue Dogs caved / drank the Kool-Aid / got bought off — don’t hold your breath for that executive order, Bart — and the Senate’s bill passed the House. Now what? Some on the Left (and part-time Republicans like David Frum) are saying that the passing of Obamacare signifies a “Waterloo” moment [...]
This Man's a Genius
As the late Adrian Rogers said, “You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.” Some of you may have seen this, already. It was emailed to me a couple weeks ago, and I finally decided to include it here. Honestly, I don’t know if it’s a true story, but it illustrates the point beautifully: An economics [...]
