In his view it's supposed to be dead. The Obama 2012 campaign is in full gear and playing from the Saul Alinsky playbook that has served it so well. You know the drill. Pick a target, freeze it, personalize it and polarize it. Obama's re-election team has set it sights on the Tea Party. Of course, it's not the first time the Tea Party has been in Team ... MOREKatie Kieffer: How Bill Gates Rips Off Babies
Stealing from babies is easy and low. Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates makes himself feel powerful while negligently ripping off babies. I am a capitalist. I defend entrepreneurs. However, I think young people and their parents should know that Gates is a sham entrepreneur. Gates openly uses his wealth and influence to push policies that will make entrepreneurial ... MOREArthur Herman: Death Of Europe Is America's Opportunity
A vindication of our free market system. Elections Sunday in France and Greece prove once and for all that the European Union is headed off the cliff, and its voters don’t care.
