First, the President claimed the attacks were nothing more than a riot that got out of control as a result of a video that insulted the religion of Islam. This narrative was shot full of holes almost immediately, because as we know, a CIA safehouse, which no [...]

DYSON: When we see these kind of conflagrations, we’re able to point the finger and say, ‘Oh, how horrible it is’ — but we’re horrible, too, because we’ve quietly fueled and fomented the kind of unnecessary hostility towards Muslims that we ought to take a mirror at and look at ourselves.

That is just the current bailout. This is after the 2010 bailout plus any previous forgiveness. Then consider previous cutbacks in Greek government “generousity” and now the new cutbacks in Greek government “generousity” and you get a sense of just how wacky big government, bleeding heart, liberals will go before they are forced to stop — apparently that point is when there is absolutely no way to pay for it.Then, [...]

The riots that hit London and other English cities last week have the potential to spread beyond the British Isles. Class rage isn’t unique to England; in fact, it represents part of a growing global class chasm that threatens to undermine capitalism itself.
