Star Parker is president and founder of CURE, the Coalition on Urban Renewal & Education…
She writes about Mike Huckabee’s “Fair Tax” proposal:
The proposal would get rid of all existing taxes – the income tax on individuals and corporations, the payroll tax, the estate (death) tax – and replace them with a single national retail sales tax. Fair Tax proponents say that it would take a sales tax of 23 percent to meet current obligations.
Enactment of such a tax would be accompanied by repeal of the 16th Amendment, which was ratified in 1913 and made it possible for Congress to tax income.
Most probably are not even aware that the Constitution had to be amended to make an income tax possible, and that this did not occur until the beginning of the last century.

“Don’t give up your ideals, don’t compromise,
don’t turn to expedience -
and don’t, for heaven’s sake,
having seen the inner workings of the watch
– get cynical.”

“Liberal Fascism”
April 26, 2008
Thomas Sowell is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, Stanford, CA…
He reviews this book :
The Fascists were completely against individualism in general and especially against individualism in a free market economy. Their agenda included minimum wage laws, government restrictions on profit-making, progressive taxation of capital, and “rigidly secular” schools.
Unlike the Communists, the Fascists did not seek government ownership of the means of production. They just wanted the government to call the shots as to how businesses would be run.
They were for “industrial policy,” long before liberals coined that phrase in the United States.
Indeed, the whole Fascist economic agenda bears a remarkable resemblance to what liberals would later advocate.
…
If by conservatism you mean belief in free markets, limited government, and traditional morality, including religious influences, then these are all things that the Fascists opposed just as much as the left does today.
The left may say that they are not racists or anti-semites, like Hitler, but neither was Mussolini or Franco. Hitler, incidentally, got some of his racist ideology from the writings of American “progressives” in the eugenics movement.
Jonah Goldberg’s “Liberal Fascism” is too rich a book to be summarized in a newspaper column. Get a copy and start re-thinking the received notions about who is on “the left” and who is on “the right.” It is a book for people who want to think, rather than repeat rhetoric.
“An all-wise Creator directed and guarded us
in our infant struggle for freedom
and has constantly watched over
our surprising progress until we have become
one of the great nations of the earth.”
— President James Polk, 1847

Three Entitlement Candidates….
April 24, 2008
McCain, Obama & Hillary are all entitlement candidates.
McCain is next in the GOP line. Why is that a reason to be President of the US ?
Hillary put up with Bill. That is an excuse not a reason. Who really wants Bill in the White House again with too much time on his hands ? Her inexperience nullifies her winning the office.
Obama is half black. We are ALL part of the same race…the human race. More or less pigmentation is not a Presidential pre requisite. The more important issue is his immaturity.
Please take McCain & let conservatives pick another candidate.
Rush’s Operation Chaos needs to go one step further & help Conservative Americans form a 3rd political party.
“Arbitrary power is most easily established

Hyping a global warming “crisis” …
April 24, 2008
Thomas Sowell writes :
A whole cottage industry has sprung up among people who get grants,
government agencies who get appropriations,
politicians who get publicity
and the perpetually indignant who get something new to be indignant about.
It gives teachers something to talk about in school instead of teaching.
Those who bother to check the facts often find that not all those who are called scientists are really scientists and not all of those who are scientists are specialists in climate.
But who bothers to check facts these days?
Rush Pearl of Wisdom:
“Global warming has all the elements of a religion:
creation of the divine, original sin, a Garden of Eden —
and then it’s got penance!
The most important element
that it has is faith,
because the people who believe in it
can’t prove it.”
