higher taxes to redistribute wealth, trade protectionism, bigger and more intrusive federal government, censorship of conservative voices, weakening of the military, control over health care decisions of ordinary Americans, and on and on.

You see, Obama isn't something new, he doesn't have any new ideas or grand vision despite his flowering rheotoric and magical teleprompter reading (something that unfortunately fools all too many of the easily duped). He is a typical, run of the mill liberal and will enact the same old ideas that have never worked. And I am not just talking about LBJ or Jimmy Carter. I am talking Herbert Hoover who turned what the rest of the world called a depression in 1929 into a Great Depression in the U.S. by raising taxes and impeding free markets.

A book recommendation for those of you who think all this debate is something new or somehow different. It is called "Free Markets, Free Men" by Fredric Bastiat (1801-1850). He was a politician, economist free market thinker during the many French Revolutions (yes, sadly there were several...those French!). You think we are talking about something new? Read that book and you will realize that we continue to ignore history and are thus doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past. It opened my eyes to the truth of government and free markets.
