Alan Partis | March 27, 2011
Gingrich for President? As they say, “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.”
Stone Pigs
undeniable underlying truths
R.I.P. Socialism
Alan Partis | January 3, 2010
Will we not learn the lessons that history is teaching us and finally, once and for all, bury socialist philosophies in a cold grave?
Who Do You Trust?
Alan Partis | June 27, 2009
Jack Nicholson’s Joker character in “Batman” once famously said, “Who do you trust?” The screenplay writer(s) were spot on.
Slavery Isn’t So Bad, Is It?
Alan Partis | May 1, 2009
With some degree of success, I have made a lifetime of trying to make good decisions and working hard to be able to support my family without the need to burden others. I have taken responsibility for my actions and planned for future contingencies. Is it right that I should be enslaved so as to benefit others who have been poor decision makers, refused to work hard, or failed to plan ahead? I resent that a great many of the beneficiaries of my labors fit that very description.
Allegiance to Perception
Alan Partis | April 29, 2009
What this country needs most, especially at this point in time, is people and parties that will take a stand firmly convicted in their principles while passionately and maturely debating and defending their principles without malice or deception but with honesty and intelligent thought. The problem is that these people are almost nowhere to be seen in politics, the mainstream news media, or anywhere in the public arena of discussion.
You’re an Idiot
Alan Partis | February 19, 2009
So why do I think Roland Burris is an idiot? Simple. His actions either prove he’s an idiot, or they prove that he thinks all his supporters, and the folks in Illinois, are idiots and will believe his protestations of innocence even in the face of the body of evidence and facts out there that say otherwise.
Obama is a Socialist
Alan Partis | October 31, 2008
One of the popular solutions often put forth on how to ‘fix’ health care in the US is this one: if you’re required to have car insurance, why not health insurance?
Oh The Wishy Washy Middle
Alan Partis | October 20, 2008
I don’t think you really grasp the concept of political parties and the American election process very well. If you’re not a member of a particular party, why should you be involved in helping to nominate their candidate?
How to Vote
Alan Partis | October 17, 2008
So the real question is for individual voters to have enough of a clue about themselves to know how to vote.
The Popular Vote
Alan Partis | December 10, 2004
As long as our President is determined through the casting of votes at a State level for Electors, the results of the so-called Popular Vote are not just irrelevant and meaningless, the results are often misleading.
Just a boy from small-town western New York (Batavia) with strong convictions and a desire to express my opinions. I'm married and have a daughter with whom I am taking great pains to brainwash into my way of thinking (so far with great success).
Though I am a software engineer by day, I read a great deal about current events, history, and economics and philosophy. I'm certain that many of my former teachers will be pleasantly surprised to hear this. I've grown very interested in trying to help educate others about the liberty guaranteed to us in the United States Constitution and the economic theories on which this Country was founded.
