Washington Gridlock

It seems a natural feeling whether you are Republican or Democrat or Independent to be annoyed at the lack of ability to get anything done in Washington DC.  One could argue, its particularly disappointing that Obama hasn’t been able to accomplish anything despite a super majority in the House and Senate.  It often makes me wonder [...]

Could Be A Tipping Point, But Which Way

Posted by Taylor on November 13th, 2009 under Democrat Tags: , , , ,  •  No Comments

There have been some posts here on Blurt Daily about a democratic strategy of sorts.  Make the majority of citizens dependent on government, give them no tax liability, and the democrats will control the government pretty much indefinitely.  Once the majority don’t have any responsibility, they will never allow the minority to get the burden [...]

I was recently visiting with some of my friends from college who graduated in the past 2-3 years.  Most left college and found a good job and started making decent first salaries.  Due to the recession, several of these individuals have unfortunately been laid off.  One of them told me she took a 5 week sabbatical [...]

Everyone likes competition.  The idea of more competitors sounds great.  It should increase efficiency and drive costs down and quality of service up.  What happens when a competitor has an unfair advantage?  That competitor will either do one of two things:  1) It will use its advantage to destroy the competition and create a monopoly [...]

You have probably heard about Obama arguing that the individual mandate is not a tax.  Well, this is just one more example of why Obama has no real clue about what is in the bill.  Here is what the Baucus bill actually says about the penalty for not complying with the mandate.  See it for [...]

Young People Should Oppose Health Care Reform

I read an interesting WSJ op-ed today.  You can read it here.  I’ve long thought the young people of our country should oppose the health care reform.  We all know, the primary users of health care are the elderly.   As the baby boomers are entering retirement, they will need more health care.  Since they are [...]

Responsibility? What’s That?

This issue has been alluded to before on this blog, but many of America’s problems have been created by a lack of responsibility.  Liberals are moving us toward a society where more and more of the responsibility is placed on the government.  Communism and Socialism are all about central planning.  Citizens are told where to [...]

David Goldhill, the president and CEO of the Game Show Network, is a check writing, card-carrying democrat.  in 2008, he donated over $60,000 to the DNC, Chris Dodd, Hillary Clinton, and ultimately President Obama.  He wrote an article in September’s Atlantic magazine about what he believed the problems with health care are.  You can read the article [...]

I’m sure we’ve all heard of the recent passing of the late Senator Ted Kennedy (D) of Massachusetts. While members of both parties have paid their respects for his many years of service, his death has sparked a controversy over how to replace him.
Just four years ago, when Senator Kerry (D) was running for President, [...]

No One Makes Sense

I hate to be the kind of person that constantly finds the faults and inconsistencies in others.  But it helps to recognize where other people err in order to learn from their mistakes, right?  The latest person to make no sense is someone who I thought was infallible: Warren Buffett.
He is a well-known Democrat and made [...]
