As reported, a study on global poverty reveals a glowing tribute to Capitalism.

By a newer 2008 World Bank measure of poverty, it showed “…the overall (global) poverty rate falling from 53 percent in 1981 to 17 percent in 2011.”

Capitalism and Industrialization played a key role.

When a Democrat asks for your vote, ask ’em why they can’t do for America what Capitalism has done for the world…our poverty rate has held at 17% since 1964.

Why? Because, while our capitalist nature blossoms, government strangles it.

Over-regulation, over-taxation, and crony capitalism…brought to you in large part by the Democrat legions sent to Congress over these last 50 years. (And if you have any doubts as to the Party responsible, just Google who held Congress since ’64.)

Democrats held that control by a wide margin over the last 50 years.

As the caterwauling continues over Indiana’s religious freedom law, it’s amazing to hear Democrats thunder ominously about the return of Jim Crow laws…

…discriminatory laws which are a DEMOCRAT legacy.

You would think they’d have the humility to avoid use of such a disingenuous claim.

Religious freedom is just that…the right not to be forced to violate one’s religion.

The Democrats’ Jim Crow laws mandated segregation in ALL public schools, public places, and public transportation…anywhere in Democrat-held southern states.

That was a widespread, all-encompassing law, affecting everyone in those states.

In contrast, religious freedom laws protect an individual business owner’s religious freedom. (I.e., a religious-owned bakery is protected…not ALL bakeries in a state.)

Militant gays demand ‘tolerance’ for their personal lifestyle…

…yet condemn tolerance of everyone’s personal (religious) lifestyle…anywhere.

Which group do you think is REALLY seeking to inflict ‘Jim Crow’ law?

With yet another story of House Republicans demanding Hillary Clinton appear at yet another House subcommittee hearing, it’s striking how the GOP never learns.

Do they think they can use slow-dance image-eroding as well as the other guys?

Except Fox, Democrats own the mainstream media. With that help, damaging news stories and events can be played out in a ‘slow-dance’ to sap an enemy’s strength.

Image-eroding ‘death-from-a-thousand-cuts’ strategies work for Democrats, aided by their enthusiastic, omnipresent media allies and the 24/7 news-cycle capabilities. 

With one media ally, Fox, it’s pointless to try the same slow-dance strategies.

It’s time the GOP understands they don’t have the same advantage, and consider a Watusi instead of a Waltz. Take lawful action, then move it along expeditiously.

From Fast-&-Furious, to Benghazi, to Iran, it’s obvious Democrats aren’t held to the same standard by supporters when it comes to honesty, integrity, or capability…

…and there’s no loneliness more acute than being the only one on the dance floor.

Stop playing their game, when a muted media makes it to their advantage.

Force the legal points…and keep moving forward.

Throughout a lifetime, it’s human nature to link with those of similar viewpoints…and to shun those who have values or beliefs not consistent or acceptable with our own.

(Environmentalists buy a Prius, not the Hummer…Vegans don’t eat at Arbys.)

Funny there’s never any question over why groups claiming discrimination seem to attempt supporting businesses that oppose their own ideology, isn’t it?

Obviously, a business exists to profit its owner…contracting with that business for its product or services enables that goal of profitability, through customer support.

Isn’t it unnatural, then, to give a business at odds with your values such support…

…unless the end goal isn’t of a ‘purchase’ nature, but really a coercive nature?

The religious baker who refuses catering a gay wedding is honest to his principles…

…the gay couple coercing that service is not.

(After all, the gay couple demands tolerance of their viewpoint, but not the baker’s.)

So, it appears the mainstream media will condemn honesty, and reward deceit.

That’s the new human nature?

Senior political analyst Michael Barone sums up Obama’s failed foreign policy:

“The Mistake that Will Haunt Obama’s Legacy Abroad”…

…backing down on his Red Line assertions against Syrian thug Assad.

Is it really that big a deal if Hillary wiped her server clean?

Prosecute her for illegal acts of spoliation of evidence, then go after the recipients.

What are the odds all those people receiving her emails were as paranoid as her? After all, Hillary’s paranoia may have overridden the illegalities of her actions…

…but we’re willing to bet those lesser recipients weren’t so foolhardy.

Ranting over the Indiana law that restores religious freedom continues.

We can’t help but wonder…has anyone asked those frenzied anti-religion zealots if they really want to try forcing Muslim holy men to officiate over gay weddings?

(UPDATE) Those who protest it’s not the same principle applied to a church versus a private business are missing the point…

…what if that imam runs a bakery?

Using data from a wide variety of sources, a graph is available that shows how the industrialization and capitalist models have improved the world’s poverty problem.

Do not tell your Liberal friends this data proves capitalism is a blessing…

…you don’t want to spoil their day.

There’s talk out there that Obama is getting ready to throw Israel under the bus.

Iran better hope that doesn’t happen.

An Israeli nation, unfettered by an American alliance that always loomed large over the Middle East, would choose preemption to save itself from annihilation.

Poor innocent Hillary…she wiped her emails clean from her private server.

Of course, had she known anyone would be upset, she wouldn’t have done it.

Wouldn’t it be great if the White House offered to help Hillary, by telling the NSA to turn over ALL her emails they captured during the years she controlled the server?

Now she’s saying ‘gosh, they’ve all been deleted’, and Democrats are up in arms (supposedly) because those mean Republicans want to pillory that poor lady.

Here’s where Obama can step up and offer to help out, ordering NSA assistance…

…which of course would reveal exactly why she deleted those emails originally.

(But, with our luck, her sticky-fingered Sandy Berger probably got there first.)
