Make ’em all taxpayers

Anticipating November, Democrats act desperately

Kathleen Parker says Democrats are pushing the minimum wage increase in a “desperate” effort to boost turnout at the midterm elections, whereas the proposal stands no chance of passing Congress.

As a policy of The William Tell Show, I’m more interested in an issue’s substance than in who will win.

Change your diet, chapter 2

(Originally posted 06/02/12 at Trojan Horse Productions.  Reblogged 04/02/14.)

At mid-afternoon this one song came on that made me feel tense. What song, I don’t recall and it doesn’t matter. The music made me feel tense. That’s what this post is all about.

Rep. Steve King’s campaign ties Parkland’s Emma González to ‘communist’ Cuba

I’m not about to engage in a personal attack on Steve King, either, although it wouldn’t be hard to do so.

While King is not by any means the only offender mentioned in the article, he and others here violate two of the guidelines of Free Speech Handbook, and so engage in conduct that I will discourage on The William Tell Show:

  1.   Judge the thought, not the thinker.

  7.   Don’t change the subject.

The issue here is gun control, specifically I would say the prospect of banning AR-15s and any other “assault rifle.”  Gonzales herself is not the issue.  Cuba is not the issue.
