Thursday, 06 October 2011

Rendezvous XI begins tomorrow evening (10/07), and quite frankly, if you're not there you'll really wish you were.

In addition to the extraordinary camaraderie you get with your fellow TTPers, you'll hear from billionaire investor Robert Agostinelli on The Future of the World Economy and You, New Tang Dynasty satellite television manager Dong Xiang on What's Really Going On In China, the next United States Senator from Texas (and incredibly inspiring conservative speaker) Ted Cruz on Texas, the Senate, and 2012, Jack Abramoff on It's All Bribery Now in Washington, plus...

We are so honored to have a great American hero, on the battlefield and now on Capitol Hill, Lt.Col. and Congressman Allen West speak to us in a special presentation.

There's so much more (e.g., what you'll learn from one of our speakers Saturday night will totally blow you away), so if you don't want to miss out, call Miko now - immediamente - at 703-992-4529 to see how he can squeeze you in.

A Rendezvous is an opportunity to just relax and be with our own kind, rational conservatives.  There will be no zombies.  It was Bob Hope who first explained the connection between zombies and Democrats in his 1940 movie, The Ghost Breakers:

TRADE WITH CHINA AND OUR NATIONAL SECURITY Print E-mail
Written by Congressman Dana Rohrabacher   
Friday, 07 October 2011

With a fledgling economy the focus of the 2012 presidential campaign, there has been one glaring omission from the debate so far: the failure of our current trade policy, particularly with China. Trade policy affects national security by putting the safety of our people and their jobs at risk.

Between 2000 and 2010, the United States ran an aggregate trade deficit in goods of $6.8 trillion. This is one measure of how much money went to support production and job creation overseas rather than here at home.

Last year, the trade deficit in goods was $635 billion. The import share of the domestic economy has grown very rapidly in textiles, machinery, computers, electrical equipment and motor vehicles. We buy a third to a half of these products from overseas, leaving American factories idle and American people jobless.

One-third of the trade deficit in goods over the past decade was with communist China. Our 2011 trade deficit with Beijing is on track to hit a record $300 billion. In their new book, "Death by China," University of California at Irvine economists Peter Navarro and Greg Autry calculate that this deficit has cost America 10 million jobs over the past decade.

MR. OBAMA AND THE FOOL’S GOLD OF FAIRNESS Print E-mail
Written by Robert Agostinelli   
Monday, 03 October 2011

The product of a long -term relentless indoctrination in the progressive radical school, President Obama has never varied from his life mission.

Yes, a portion of Americans absorbed the staccato of the "One" , the chant of "change we can believe in" and the seduction of the healer. Many simply "wanted" to believe in something that never existed. It was a mirage. An imagery and technique right out the text book of tyrants from across the ages.

However the truth was always there for all to see. The only surprise is they didn't.

Now as the Obama Presidency is in free fall, the gesture and notions of accommodation are being fully discarded. Now the creation of imagined enemies and emasculation of the virtues that made this country great be it free enterprise, individual rights, or capitalism are laid out as evil in the quest for that fool's gold of the left:  "fairness".

This twisted logic is at the fraudulent core of the soul of socialism. It is a primary mover of their mania and a mantra which overshadows each act.

THE KEY PROBLEM OF OUR ECONOMY: POLITICAL MISALLOCATION OF CAPITAL Print E-mail
Written by Skye   
Friday, 07 October 2011

If a Republican wins in 2012, and if the economy doesn't markedly improve by 2016, a Democrat (quite possibly Hillary) will almost certainly win in 2016.

What would it take for the economy to markedly improve by 2016? To understand that, one needs to understand elementary classical (Austrian) economics. The fundamental problem is that governments, both in the US and around the world, have politically misallocated tens of trillions of dollars of capital to economically lower valued uses because these uses were of higher political value.

Wasting so much seed corn year after year, decade after decade, has inevitably resulted in progressively leaner harvests.

Unfortunately, this extensive capital misallocation is being done by many different methods and the misallocated capital is going to many politically favored groups, so there is no one silver bullet that will fix the mess. A partial list:

IMPEACHING HOLDER Print E-mail
Written by Jack Kelly   
Wednesday, 05 October 2011

It's time for Congress to impeach Attorney General Eric Holder.

Congress may remove from office "all civil officers of the United States" if they are convicted of "Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors," the Constitution says (Art. II, Sec. 4).

Only the House of Representatives can impeach, which is comparable to indictment.  The official is then tried by the Senate, where a two-thirds vote is required for conviction.

The Constitution doesn't say what constitutes "high Crimes and Misdemeanors," but perjury surely is among them.  So is obstruction of justice.  A clear case can be made that Mr.Holder is guilty of both.

HERMAN AND HILLARY Print E-mail
Written by Jack Kelly   
Tuesday, 04 October 2011

The worst nightmare for Democrats is that Barack Hussein Obama will run for re-election.  If he's at the top of the ticket, Democrats will be drubbed worse than they were in 2010, indicated a survey Sept. 22 by Democrat pollster Stanley Greenberg.

The worst nightmare for Republicans is that he won't.  Hillary Clinton is the most popular political figure in America, according to a Bloomberg poll Sept. 16.

Democrats could have more sleepless nights, Republicans fewer restless ones if Herman Cain wins the Republican nomination.

The race should narrow to a candidate favored by the GOP establishment, and a conservative "outsider," most analysts think.  Mr. Romney has locked up the establishment slot.  Ms. Bachmann and Mr. Perry auditioned for the role of "outsider," but have been found wanting.  Is it Herman Cain's turn now?

Perhaps - but note that Ms. Bachmann is over because of her intemperate attack ("government needles into 12 year old girls") on Mr. Perry.  Two days ago (10/02), Mr. Cain suffered what is being called his "Bachmann moment."

GOOD STUFF HAPPENING IN WISCONSIN Print E-mail
Written by Paul Kramer   
Thursday, 06 October 2011

Since Governor Scott Walker signed the Budget Reform Bill, limiting collective bargaining for state employees to wages only on March 11, Wisconsin school districts and cities have been rescuing their budgets.  No longer, for example, were the districts forced to purchase health insurance from the teachers' union insurance company (WEA Trust Insurance) at exorbitant rates.  The savings have been substantial (all figures and quotes compiled from local news reports):

Ashland  School District - saved $378,000 on health insurance.

Kimberly School District - saved $821,000 by dropping WEA Trust Insurance.

Edgerton School District - dropping WEA Trust, expecting to save at least $500,000.

Pittsville - will see a 9%  decrease in the school portion of their property tax levy. "This is the first  year we have not needed to short-term borrow," stated Board President  Strenn.

Appleton School District - will save $3.1 million just in health  insurance costs due to being able to bid out the coverage and being able to  drop WEA Trust.

A NOTE ON FREEDOM AND LIBERTY Print E-mail
Written by Richard Rahn   
Tuesday, 04 October 2011

Istanbul, Turkey. How free is Turkey? Turkey is almost entirely Muslim but lacks most of the repressive characteristics of many of the Arab Muslim countries.

It has a largely free market with a high rate of economic growth. But it ranks in the middle among other countries in terms of economic freedom and per capita income. It also has less religious freedom and freedom of speech than is common in most of Europe and the United States and, thus, less liberty.

The Mont Pelerin Society, most of whose members are economists and other scholars who were inspired by the great economist and philosopher F.A. Hayek, is holding a meeting here in Istanbul to discuss the nation, the state and liberty. The discussants are drawn from many countries and cultures, resulting in a very stimulating debate, some of which is summarized here, along with my own observations and thoughts.

HALF-FULL REPORT 09/30/11 Print E-mail
Written by Dr. Jack Wheeler   
Friday, 30 September 2011

The evidence that the presidential ship, the USS Zero, is sinking like that boat Leo DiCaprio was on continued to pile up this week. 

When Euroweenies publicly call the President of the United States pitiful, sad, arrogant, and absurd, plus stupid; when he can't even beat Ron Paul in a national poll; when predictions mount that he will pull a 1968 LBJ and not run; when libtards like Newsweek Editor Tina Brown abandon him, it's pretty clear his presidency will end up sleeping with the fishes.

He totally clinched it yesterday (9/29) with a pathetic replay of Jimmy Carter's 1979 Malaise Speech, blaming the disaster of his presidency on Americans being "soft." Like Carter, Zero does not possess the moral intelligence to grasp the irony of his claim.

Americans were sunk into a deep malaise after the debacle of Watergate and defeat in Vietnam - and Carter was elected as an expression of it.  If it weren't for the "crisis of confidence" he complained about, Americans would never have placed a nebbishy schlemiel like him in the White House.

And if Americans hadn't gone soft accepting liberal welfare and liberal guilt for decades, they never ever would have elected an affirmative action president, a Marxist Alinskyite attending a Hate America church whose only qualification for office was the color of his skin.

THE POLISH STAKE INTO THE RUSSIAN VAMPIRE Print E-mail
Written by Dr. Jack Wheeler   
Thursday, 29 September 2011

Warsaw, Poland. We killed it once, when it was disguised as the Soviet Union.  But vampires have this way of not staying dead, and it has risen again to suck the life blood out of any country it can sink its teeth into.  So it looks like we're going to have to kill this creature all over again.  This time, let's drive a wooden stake through its heart and end it for good.  Looks like the stake will be made in Poland.

Poland's history is one of tragedies and triumphs. It starts in 966, when the chief of the Polan people, Mieszko (930-992), rejected the entreaties of other Slavic tribes to accept what was becoming the Russian Orthodox Church, and chose to be baptized as a Roman Catholic instead. 

It was a momentous decision that turned his people towards the West, rather than the East.  Miesko's son Bronislaw created Poland as a Christian nation, with Pope John XIX declaring him the first King of Poland in 1025, and the Poles starting to participate in Western culture. 

The greatest Polish King, Jan Sobieski (1629-1696), is also one of the greatest heroes in the history of Western Civilization.  In a word, he saved it.

WANT REAL TAX REFORM? CALL 9-9-9 Print E-mail
Written by Herman Cain   
Tuesday, 27 September 2011

Between now and Election Day, President Obama will have to create 8 million jobs just to tie for last place with the previous worst recovery since the Great Depression. Meanwhile, Americans are rightly demanding dramatic overhauls to get this country back on its feet.

What does the president do? He doubles down on his philosophy of continuing the beatings until morale improves.

My fellow presidential candidates, to varying degrees, have been tinkering around the edges. With all due respect, you don't prune weeds - you pull them out at the roots.

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney's 160-page, 59-point plan has "faculty lounge" written all over it. It protects most of the current tax code. Looking for an executive summary, I flipped to the appendix. Frankly, Mr. Romney lost me after his first two points: "Maintain current tax rates ..." and "Maintain current tax rates. ..." Are those rates really worth maintaining?

Leave it to a politician to start with the current tax code and then move a step or two in the right direction. Leave it to a real businessman to start with what is right and get there immediately.

EYES ON CAIN Print E-mail
Written by Jack Kelly   
Friday, 30 September 2011

Even Democrats tune out Barack Hussein Obama now.
With independents, Mr. Obama is more deeply underwater than the Titanic.  So it isn’t surprising he lost to “generic Republican” by 4 percentage points in an NBC poll in August; by 5 in a Rasmussen poll in September.

Alas for the GOP, “generic Republican” isn’t running.  Neither are those whom conservative pundits think best qualified to lead the nation.  Weekly Standard Editor Bill Kristol did all but send flowers and candy to Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels; then to Wisconsin’s Rep. Paul Ryan, and finally to New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie -- only to have all three spurn his advances.

I wish Paul Ryan were running.  But I’m intrigued by Herman Cain.

Mr. Cain has a more impressive resume than all but a handful of professional politicians.  Like his IQ, it dwarfs that of Mr. Obama’s. Let's take a look at him.

WE ARE THE SERFS OF OUR SERVANTS Print E-mail
Written by Jack Kelly   
Wednesday, 28 September 2011

The Justice Department spent $16 each for muffins for refreshments at one conference.  At another, hors d'oeuvres that cost $7.32 per serving were served, DOJ's Inspector General reported Sept. 20.  Our "public servants" do indeed live well at our expense.  But what, you wonder, do $16 muffins have to do with government subsidies for "green" technologies?

DOJ's extravagance cost taxpayers perhaps $100,000.  Subsidies for green companies are $16 muffins on steroids.  They cost taxpayers tens of billions of dollars.

There are differences.  Though Justice grotesquely overpaid, they did get muffins.  All taxpayers likely will receive from green subsidies is more debt.

And while the $16 muffins can be attributed to the careless and self indulgence that, alas, often occurs when bureaucrats spend our money, there emanates from the green subsidies a stench of corruption from the Obama White House.

CAN WE HAVE A SERIOUS DEBATE PLEASE? Print E-mail
Written by Star Parker   
Tuesday, 27 September 2011

The presidential debates are looking more like symptoms of our problems than they do like part of the solution. Maximum style, minimum substance. Focus on sizzle, forget about the steak.

These events are supposed to be about quality information, raising the bar, and producing a thoughtful, informed electorate. But they are being produced to provide entertainment, and we are barely getting that.

Technology doesn't take the place of substance. YouTube and real-time polling are not substitutes for thoughtful, provocative questioning.

Can it really be, after all the heat he has taken on Social Security, that Rick Perry was not pushed on how specifically how he would reform it?  Can it be, as expert after expert has laid out the long list of failures of Romneycare in Massachusetts and its unquestionable similarities to Obamacare, that Mitt Romney was not called out on his sidestepping and denials?

Can it be that, on a day (9/20) where the stock market in our country dropped 3.5 percent and in China by 5 percent, that candidates were not asked what they think is wrong with the global economy?
