Is Justice Blind?

Listen to these interviews following the recent Department of Justice hearings on the Black Panther case and the selective application of Justice. It is astounding!!!

Fabulous insights from Victor Davis Hanson

We can easily outdistance any country should we remain the most free, law-abiding, and economically open society as in our past. A race-gender-ethnic-blind meritocracy, equal application of the law, low taxes, small government, and a transparent political and legal system are at the heart of that renewal. America could within a decade become a creditor nation again, with a trade balance and budget surplus, drawing in the world’s talent and capital in a way not possible in the more inflexible or less meritocratic China, Japan, or Germany. Again that is our choice, not a superimposed destiny from someone else.

The president is not interested in nuances. He does not care that 40 percent of Americans pay no income taxes, or that the top 1 percent of earners pay 40 percent of aggregate collected income-tax revenue. Yet many of the people in these brackets were not always so rich and probably won’t be for long. Top incomes are transient. Millions of Americans strive to reach them for a few years to provide for retirement, or college expenses, in the expectation that they will fade quickly.

Comparing the Great Depression to the Great Recession

President Obama has often remarked that the Great Recession (2008–10) is the greatest economic crisis since the Great Depression. It’s interesting to study the many parallels between the Great Recession and the Great Depression.

A Depression may be our best Hope

A reaction opposite that of the 1930s is likely. Government is now seen to be the problem. It is no longer viewed as reliable, trustworthy, or a solution. Freedom is deeply ingrained in the American culture, and most of us recognize how much we have already lost. The resurgence of books such asThe Road to Serfdom, Atlas Shrugged, and others of their ilk indicate that the public is interested. Historically low poll numbers for all politicians and the rise of the Tea Party movement are further indicators. The economic trauma may provide the catalyst to return to the founders' concept of government.

Capitalism

We are often told that capitalism has failed. Most of us really don't understand the true meaning of capitalism. Ayn Rand summed it up well in her book published in 1961 entitled "For the New Intellectual". She said:"Capitalism demands the best of every man - his rationality - and rewards him accordingly. It leaves every man free to choose the work he likes, to specialize in it, to trade his product for the products of others, and to go as far on the road of achievement as his ability and ambition will carry him. His success depends on the objective value of his work and on the rationality of those who recognize that value. When men are free to trade, with reason and reality as their only arbiter, when no man may use physical force to extort the consent of another, it is the best product and the best judgment that win in every field of human endeavor, and raise the standard of living- and of thought- ever higher for all those who take part in mankind's productive activity".

Is this administration socialistic?

It's a long way back to the Constitution

Regarding federal power, here's what the father of the Constitution, James Madison, has to say:

The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce; with which last the power of taxation will, for the most part, be connected.

The "progressives" in power have us on the wrong road in the name of progress. But as C.S. Lewis writes: "We all want progress, but if you're on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; in that case, the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive."
