Minimum Wage

These comments are in response to the recent staged walk-outs of unskilled food service workers around the nation.

I know it has been said over and over again, but I'm going to say it again.  If you don't think you are making enough money, then why are you still working there?  Either go somewhere else where the pay is higher, or make yourself more valuable where you are.  Minimum wage should be $0.00.  You know why that doesn't make me a bad person to say that?  Because that's what Organizing for America pays its workers.  But hey, they are a non-profit organization and their "workers" are called "volunteers" so it's okay.  If you think that's all your time is worth then by all means you should work for them.  If, however, you think your time is worth $10.10/hour then you need to find someone who agrees.  The market thinks unskilled fast food service workers are worth less than minimum wage, because that's what they get paid.  There is always someone else willing to work for that amount or less if you won't do it.

To say it another way, don't wait for someone else to take care of you.  Take care of yourself.  You are the one who cares the most about yourself.

Another Example of the Right being Right

And I'm not really a big Mitt Romney fan either.  But more and more lately we've been seeing examples of how prescient he was during the 2012 presidential campaign.  Here's a quote from an article by David Rutz at The Washington Free Beacon

Romney warned at the first presidential debate that Obamacare would be fully installed and cause many to lose their health insurance plans should Obama be re-elected.

 Read the whole thing.  And not that it was that hard to predict, but don't you just remember how the media mocked him for saying things like this, then accused him of wanting to kill Big Bird.  It would be funny if it weren't truly so sad.

Only Link You'll Ever Need

If you've never heard of Bill Whittle, you owe it to yourself to check out his sight.  He is a contributor to PJ Media and the next Republican president should hire him as his/her speech writer.  Here's his personal web site with most of the content he has produced recently:

You can search his name on YouTube to see many of his bootleg-recorded speaking engagements.  He is inspiring and well spoken.  But he holds the political right to account too.  No one gets a free pass just because they have an (R) next to their name.  That is important.  Check it out and let me know what you think in the comments.  Thanks.

On the Right Side of History

Over at Alexa Shrugged there's a great article about how Mitt Romney got everything right prior to the 2012 presidential election.  No shocker there.  Know what else isn't a shocker?  You won't hear anyone in the mainstream media admit it.  Yes, Mitt Romney was right about everything.

In Their Own Words

I could spend a lot of time listing out all the attributes of conservative ideals, and trying to eloquently describe why I subscribe to those ideals.  But there are others who can say it better than I can.  I intend this to be the first post in a long running series of conservatives who describe, in their own words, what I could not do nearly as well in writing.  For my first post, I present to you Louisiana State Senator Elbert Guillory:
