America’s founding principles do not have an expiration date…

President Obama, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi have all talked about fairness and transforming America.  Their agenda relies on power being centered in government not the free market.  Through health care, financial and environmental reform, they have placed elected officials in the role of referee and player.  Health care reform must be repealed, not reformed, [...]

Wikileaks, A Listener Responds; An Email Worth Reading

Crane,
It makes me angry to hear how the President’s spokesperson just blatantly disregards the Wikileaks.
For over 20 years, I served in the military, either active duty or contractor. Every year, I had to take security training. The President and his staff NEED to take this training! They need to be taught the definition of classified [...]

Rockefeller’s comments should anger all as well as disqualify him for office…

The war on the first amendment and the alternative media has been escalating since the 2008 election.  Don’t just blame the Obama administration McCain was surely going to push for more regulation, especially after his 2002 BCRA has, and continues to be, incrementally dismantled by a majority of the Supreme Court, which actually chose to [...]

The end is near…but it is the end of statism, not America

The truth is the tax cuts being extended will not end this current economic crisis; it is going to get worse before it gets better.  The good news is that President Obama may have saved America from socialism, ironically by attempting to legislate it. The incremental approach has been successful for the left because the [...]

Mayor Bloomberg and President Obama have a lot to learn about us…

Arrogance and elitism are a bipartisan ailments, which, in politics engender deep seeded, palpable responses that can end political careers. While in Hong Kong, NY Mayor Michael Bloomberg told the WSJ: “If you look at the U.S., you look at who we are electing to Congress, to the Senate, they can’t read…” He was referencing [...]

Liberal Media’s Bush bashing was bad, but it wasn’t their worst sin…

The treatment of President Bush personally was disgusting and reprehensible but it was not the liberal media’s greatest injustice. That was the gross negligence displayed in their coverage of the war (Afghanistan and Iraq), the economic crisis (causes) and then Senator Obama.  Of course, blaming liberal bias has been called a cop-out yet we can [...]

Stop Trying To Protect Us…

Credit Card Protection Harms Consumers…
Credit card payments are going up and it is because of the new regulations ironically designed to protect us.  The government always claims to be looking out for the poor and middle class; their intentions are admirable, but their results are irresponsible and harmful.  Instead of attempting to put corks on [...]

President Obama’s election response is not based in reality…

President Obama says he wanted to work with Republicans (See Ryan Video on Homepage). Then you said it was a matter of communication. No, it was the fact that you (and fellow Democrats) lost the debate time and America was watching…we still are. Your words do not match your actions; you have lost the trust [...]

President Obama’s Naiveté

Supporters of President Obama’s policies believe that mutual respect (not meddling),  pressing a reset button with unrepentant Russia and nuclear disarmament  will enhance national security and lead to a more peaceful world are in a word, naïve.  On the issue of not meddling, we have witnessed a brutal crackdown on freedom seeking protesters and a [...]

Why We Are Not In An Economic Recovery

The war between private enterprise and the government has reached a fever pitch under the Obama administration. The idea of creating a strong American Economy with a “new foundation” has become a staple in the President’s statements regarding economic recovery.
Our President and his fellow statists in Congress have met this economic downturn with Keynesian, big [...]
