Gary North’s Reality Check I wrote a critique of Leftist commentator James Howard Kuntsler, who praises local government action to make it illegal to open a Walmart store or any other “big box” store, as he calls them. You can read my critique here: http://www.garynorth.com/public/10717.cfm Kunstler has coined a phrase to describe Tea Party supporters: [...]

You can click through. http://www.kunstler.com/index.php He is a Leftist. He is a foul-mouthed Leftist. But the main problem with Kunstler is not that he is one more Leftist critic of the free market. [...]

Bush called America’s response to September 11 a crusade, this revived memories of medieval invasions. Islamic nations are the main persecutors, but some regions in India have also joined in. This strategy has limits in this [...]

The special interest groups take advantage of this. They demand federal subsidies and bailouts. They get them. The public knows this, but voters do [...]
