Old white men — which is code for conservatives — are being deliberately marginalized and trivialized by all sides of the political and cultural establishment. Even if you are a woman, a young person, or a “visible minority,” you are, in today’s political parlance, an “old white man” if you believe in natural rights, private property, and individual liberty.

‘A tax that places significantly different burdens on taxpayers in similar economic circumstances is not fair. For example, if two similar families have the same income, they should ordinarily pay roughly the same amount of income tax, regardless of the sources or uses of that income.’ — Tax Reform report of the Treasury Department to President Ronald Reagan, November 1984

The very same people that have shoved Mitt McDoles down our throats for decades now will re-emerge from the ruling class to tell us that Romney was too conservative, so we have to abandon whatever shred of conservatism actually still exists within the GOP leadership to win. I don’t think so.

Last night’s elections’ results didn’t change the balance of power much in Washington. It is still headed in the direction of runaway spending, expanding entitlements with more and larger government services. Of course, this costs tremendous amounts of money.
