Noonan: Warnings From the Ukraine Crisis

March 14 | Posted by mrossol | Crimea, Noonan, Obama, The Left

I continue to wait for my friends on the left who tell me “Oh, you shouldn’t take this that seriously,” to provide some level of rationale assurance about their position. ================ What has been happening in Ukraine is not a wake-up call precisely but a tugging at the attention, a demand to focus. There’s a sense that in some new way we are... Read more

Again, no surprises. ====== Feb. 28, 2014 6:48 p.m. ET New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio carried through this week on one of his campaign’s “progressive” promises: his assault on charter schools. Mr. de Blasio announced that he would not allow Eva Moskowitz’s Success Academy to open three new charter schools that had been approved by previous Mayor Mike Bloomberg. Readers of these...

ObamaCares New Theory of Employment

February 6 | Posted by mrossol | ObamaCare, Socialism, The Left

I guess you can ‘spin’ anything. ============= The Congressional Budget Office report estimating that ObamaCare will cause the economy to lose the equivalent of 2.5 million workers is remarkable on its own. But the reaction from the left—giddy celebration—is another order of magnitude. U.S. politics used to have enough of a center that politicians could agree that fewer Americans working and others working... Read more

What I Learned Fighting Poverty in Little Rock

January 23 | Posted by mrossol | Party Politics, Socialism, The Left

What’s your experience? ====== With all the talk currently being bruited about the 50th anniversary of the war on poverty, I am reminded that for a year, between 1964 and 1965, I was the director of the antipoverty program of Pulaski County, Ark., which included Little Rock, the adjoining city of North Little Rock and the surrounding rural area. I was then... Read more
