I care for kids, families, the sick and the elderly, working class, middle class, and every American. To end poverty and advance the American Dream, I am Libertarian Girl.
In a way, it’s all very refreshing. Al Gore’s Democratic vice-presidential nominee in 2000, Joe Lieberman, has been one of John McCain’s biggest supporters, introducing McCain at this year’s Republican convention. Meanwhile, George W. Bush’s Secretary of State and the man who introduced Bush at the 2000 Republican convention, Colin Powell, comes out for [...]
Although I long ago said I’d prefer Barack Obama to any of the other Republican candidates in the field after Ron Paul, Obama has gotten scarier and scarier since he started facing off against McCain rather than Hillary. Next to Hillary, he seemed like a beacon of calm, a supremely intelligent and elegant man who [...]
Leave it to Joe the Plumber to explain, essentially, the fundamental problem with many of Obama’s economic plans.
Joe the Plumber is the perfect messenger: he’s not a Wall Street banker or a lawyer or even a doctor. His name is actually Joe, and he provides an important, if un-glamourous, service: plumbing. No one becomes [...]
Many people say that the skyrocketing cost of health care in America is due to America having a “free market” in health care– we certainly don’t– or that there is not enough regulation of the system.
I disagree, and here is one direct way to lower healthcare costs.
Why don’t we make all those who [...]
Why should a lifelong Democrat choose country over party, principles over complacency, true progressivism over lip service and vote for William “BJ” Lawson over my current congressman, incumbent David Price?
Congressman David Price of North Carolina’s 4th District has:
Voted for a $700 billion taxpayer-financed bailout of Wall Street billionaires. That’s reason enough right there to vote [...]
I don’t like Sarah Palin that much (not nearly as much as some people do anyway), and I don’t like Joe Biden, D-MBNA. Having said that, I don’t see how anyone could think Biden won the debate last night.
There is no doubt that Joe Biden is more articulate than Sarah Palin. However, almost nothing he [...]
You can almost never go to a bank without seeing it. You can’t see a bank commercial without hearing it. “Insured by FDIC.”
The bailout bill that the Senate will vote on tonight is different than the one the House voted down two days ago. It raises the FDIC cap from $100,000 to $250,000, among other [...]
You can say whatever you like about Republicans– it’s certainly true that they chose a far superior animal symbol than the Democrats did. Can there be any question that elephants win out over donkeys, every time?

Many “progressives” see a rise of socialism as a newfound utopia– no suffering, no pain, no having to work all day, no children in trouble, and apparently no consequences, either. This thinking is nothing new. Jerome K. Jerome wrote about it in his short story “The New Utopia” 100 years ago, quite well in my [...]
It’s been an eventful week. Two of my teen idols died. Monday was both the most depressing day of the year and Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday celebration/federal holiday. Tuesday was the 35th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade, designated as “Blog for Choice Day” by NARAL.
I don’t want to get into a long, drawn-out discussion [...]
