  John Ransom
  It would be nice if the GOP in Congress did the job that they wouldn’t do on Fast and Furious, crony capitalism, Solyndra and several other violations of the law featured under the Obama administration.

• Country Infected with Virus Democratus Fri Apr 26
  John Ransom
  Any other president would have been chastened by the results, not emboldened. Instead, Obama is acting more like himself, more in charge and exactly in character. These are all symptoms of a very bad disease for the Democrats, particularly on the gun issue. ... more

• Red, White and Saudi Privilege Tue Apr 23
  John Ransom
  Don’t expect the government to keep you safe kiddies. I have no doubt that the people who work for the FBI and the Boston police very much want to keep us safe.

• Pravda Means Never Having to Tell the Truth Sun Apr 14

• Obama’s Success: The Poor Get Poorer, And The Rich Get Poorer Thu Apr 11
  John Ransom
  The money in an IRA is not “tax-preferred,” as the White House asserts. Money in an IRA is rather “tax-deferred,” meaning the government is going to get their money one way or another. No surprise there that they got that wrong. The White House is short on CPAs. They don’t even know how to do their own taxes right. ... more
• The Unintended Consequences of Intended Consequences Wed Apr 10
