Expensive pandering

Rogel @ July 24, 2008 #

The american cars industry problem didn’t start from the rising oil price, they started because the auto makers are less competitive than their rivals - mostly the corporations based in Japan. In order to sell more cars, and increase their profit, the auto makers need to become more competitive by selling better cars for less [...]

Setting example

Rogel @ July 21, 2008 #

When Obama calls on Americans to save on energy use and to limit their fuel consumption he obviously demonstrates proper leadership by providing personal example of the kind of sacrifices he asks from others. This is why he is going to use, during the next months of presidential campaign a smaller airplane.
One shouldn’t be surprise [...]

Another one to the list

Rogel @ July 14, 2008 #

Guess who can we add to the list of hypocrite busy bodies? That’s right:

Senator Obama sends his own two daughters to the private “Lab School” founded by John Dewey in 1896, which charged $20,000 in tuition at the middle school level last year. Though he says “we” should not be “throwing up our hands and [...]

Compulsory Volunteering

Rogel @ July 10, 2008 #

This is a very good post, on the issue that become more worrisome this election:

Which brings us to a wider point, which is that I do not like the idea of service to the nation or to the community being equivocated with service to the government or through the government. Putting aside the specifics of [...]

He looked familiar

Rogel @ July 6, 2008 #

I was worried about the increasing collectivist tone coming from the Obama campaign. The resemblances other are finding to FDR making Obama even less attractive candidate.
The general feeling of looming disaster makes Obama more likely to become a President, mostly after the shameful results of the “conservative”. With a cooperative legislature body he might be [...]

Life, some property and the right to serve the collective

Rogel @ July 3, 2008 #

How do one reconcile between the concept of “The Pursuit of Happiness” as a fundamental human right and this:

“That’s what history calls us to do, because loving your country shouldn’t just mean watching fireworks on the Fourth of July. Loving your country must mean accepting your responsibility to do your part to change it.”

Poor choices

Rogel @ July 2, 2008 #

For a while now I was considering Obama as the lesser evil of the two main candidates. I don’t like McCain’s idea of subjecting ourself interest to some national greatness and I was worrying about the implication of such philosophy. But apparently Obama shares the idea that we are the servants of the state:

Tomorrow, Obama heads to [...]

Lets blame the speculators

Rogel @ June 24, 2008 #

One approach to look at the soaring price of Oil is to blame it on speculators. Following the footsteps of Lenin both McCain and Obama using very harsh language toward the “speculators”. The reality, as usual, is slightly different:

To a large extent, this theory, if it is anything more than just populist capitalism-bashing, is a [...]

Exposed

Rogel @ June 19, 2008 #

Oh, no! Obama might not be so bad as those who try to convince conservatives that McCain is “the lesser evil” :

Demonstrating that this is no mere spring fling, he has appointed 37-year-old Jason Furman to head his economic policy team. Furman is one of Wal-Mart’s most prominent defenders, anointing the company a “progressive success [...]
