Note that neither "North" nor "South" is prefixed to Korea, for we are talking about coming regime change in both. 

The current ruling anti-American, anti-capitalist, pro-appeasement party ruling South Korea is about to be replaced by its opposite:  pro-American, pro-capitalist, anti-appeasement.

Its leaders are determined to precipitate the collapse of North Korea's communist tyranny.  They plan to do it with the help of the Communist Chinese.  And George Bush.

Obama Huilo!

I had to save this for the HFR instead of shoehorning it in to Putin Huilo! on Wednesday.

And yes he is.  He is not just a "hapless putz" as Andrew Klaman claims.  The Obamahuilo is opening the floodgates of our border with Mexico on purpose - the purpose being revenge and spite.  He wants TB and other diseases brought by illegals to spread. 

He wants to do damage to us more than ever, now that Americans have proved themselves not worthy of him, in having the inexcusably immoral temerity to think he's the worst US president rather than the best.

As a pathological narcissist, his rejection by the American people is proof they need to be punished for not recognizing his magnificence.  As Clint Eastwood put it: 

Do you think there would be more jobs, less poverty and higher real incomes if government was 60 percent or 18 percent of gross domestic product?

Fortunately, a global economic-growth experiment has been underway for more than a half-century. Some countries have opted for the big-government model, others for the small-government model. Based on the data, the small-government crowd wins.

Periodically, as new data becomes available, I revisit the topic of how big or small government should be. Many on the left in the United States want a big government like they have in France, which they think will be fairer and provide better services.

There are success metrics, such as real per-capita incomes, economic growth, job-creation rates and life expectancy to give us a good indication of what works and does not work.

This table gives us recent data about how well 10 rich countries are doing:

Welcome to the Happy Fourth of July HFR!

Today is when we celebrate the Birth of America - mankind's most successful nation, that has created more freedom and prosperity for more human beings than any society, culture, or country in the history of this planet or any other.

Those who disagree are cordially invited to read the full text of America's founding document adopted and signed by America's Founders on this day 238 years ago, the most moral political document in history, The Declaration of Independence.  For it is its stated principles that created our nation.

In fact, it would be worthwhile for all of us, before the barbeque, beer, and fireworks later today, to gather in a quiet place with friends, family, and loved ones to read the Declaration aloud, to have its moral genius resonate in our souls.

And when you read aloud its 27 examples of "repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States," you will no doubt recognize that many of them are being purposefully perpetrated today - with the same direct object - by America's current tyrant, King Zero.

The good news is that he is not King Zero I, as in "the First."  There will never be another, a "the Second."  This Fourth of July HFR will be devoted to discussing why.
