BrookesNews Update November 26 2008

America is in recession and the Democrat sare to make it worse
http://brookesnews.com/082411obamaeconomy.html

Obama's destructive economic program is causing havoc on the markets that could lead to a run on the dollar. His silence on the economy and what needs to be done is only aggravating the situation. One thing, however, is absolutely clear: Obama is utterly clueless on the economy

Why Obama's economic program will collapse
http://brookesnews.com/082411obamaprogram.html

Any attempt to kick-start an economy with a program of public works, more regulations, higher taxes and greater government spending is doomed to fail. Such a program failed under Roosevelt, if failed in Japan and it will fail under Obama if he implements

Obama appoints Castro-lover as White House counsel
http://brookesnews.com/082411craig.html

Obama's appointment of Gregory Craig as White House counsel is further evidence of just how leftwing — not to mention anti-American — the Obama regime could be. Craig is a truly nasty leftist and Castro-lover

The Democrats' economic stupidity and Detroit's big three
http://brookesnews.com/082411detroit.html

The majority of Americans are opposed to the Democrats' proposal to bailout Detroit. They are right to oppose it. The bailout would be the first of more payments all of which would be used to prop up an important Democrat constituency. If Detroit is to be then let the market do it. Any alternative is doomed to failure

Is "being born an American still first prize in the lottery of life?"
http://brookesnews.com/082411us.html

In the 1960s President Lyndon Johnson declared war on poverty. In the end poverty grew in numbers and trillions of dollars spent did nothing more than enlarge government

The Henry Waxman wane

Henry Waxman, green fanatic, bullyboy and political bigot has been made chairman of the powerful House Energy and Commerce Committee. Further evidence of how extreme an Obama regime will be

Evil on a Minneapolis Campus
http://brookesnews.com/082411intolerance.html

Political bigotry on campuses is not new, it is plainly clear, in these supposed bastions of free inquiry. They've become politicized to the core. Free speech itself is imperilled by oppressive codes. Leftwing professors rule. Conservatives are muzzled. It runs one-way on campuses, fiercely anti-Republican and, in general if not more so, wildly against all conservatives

Donkeys, rinos, and pumas. Oh my! Can we be please conservatives now
http://brookesnews.com/082411dems.html

The Republican Party must become the new progressive. It must shelve its clever electoral strategies and muster the courage to be faithful to its principles even if polling data says to lie, or at least equivocate

Why they quit being leftists
http://brookesnews.com/082411marxists.html

Marxism is based on a major intellectual mistake and on a lamentable lack of morality that inevitably led to disaster and terror. That is why the more intelligent people, and those who were genuinely interested in their neighbors, abandoned it. The book Why I Quit Being a Leftist explains that with irrefutable clarity
