The future of the Moran Plant
I’m going to take a break from railing against socialism to talk about something local.
The Community and Economic Development Office (CEDO) has released the results of the Moran Plant survey we filled out when we voted (the yellow ballot). Regarding use of the space: 86% liked or strongly liked the idea of a waterfront […]

Long live the French
In honor of Tirade25 and her love of the French, I thought I’d post this excerpt from Cal Thomas’ column, “The French job funk,” featured today on Townhall.com.
France’s flirtation with and eventual embrace of socialism goes back more than a century. The late President Francois Mitterand effectively implemented socialism as national policy in 1981 when […]

Livable wages
Today, I am going to pick on livable wages. If you have never heard this term, you can school yourself here. I am going to jump right in with the assumption that my readers have a base knowledge about livable wages.

Social, but independent
I don’t have a lot of time to write today because we are doing a lot of homeschool activities that need my undivided attention today, but I wanted to throw up a thought.
This morning, my two-and-a-half-year-old son came into to the room I was in and announced with absolute glee that he had done something […]

Tax breaks for the rich?
A few months ago, the Burlington Free Press started running a column by Ed Shamy. It is usually very amusing and somewhat irreverent, but always enjoyable. I can’t say that about much in that paper.
On Thursday, March 23, he wrote a column comparing the House vote to raise the gas tax by 4 cents (6 […]

The right to healthcare
Since only one person gave me a reason why conservatives are regarded as not caring about the poor, I will address that issue first: the right to healthcare.
I would like to hear more, so if anyone else wants to explain why they think conservatives do not care about the poor/only care about the rich, please […]
