Why I’ve Recently Come to Embrace Libertarian Ideas
I’ve always considered myself a Conservative. In fact, I’m registered as a Conservative and find myself voting for Conservative candidates. This identification has to do with bot social conservative values as well as fiscal. The problem that I have in watching where the country is going is that I’ve observed a trend that proves that [...]
Perry: Eliminate Funding to Planned Parenthood
In a recent speech to the residents of Bettendorf, Iowa, Governor Perry not only took on the amount of money that elected representatives make and their seemingly permanent positions in Washington, but he also announced that part of his plan was to remove federal funding for Planned Parenthood so that our tax dollars will not [...]
Who Should Get the Republican Nomination
This past April I turned 35. I’ve always joked that when I become 35, then I’ll be able to run for President. After all, when you’re in your early 30s, there aren’t many “milestone” birthdays left. With that theme, my dining room was covered in Red, White and Blue and even my cake told me [...]
Sen. Schumer and I Agree
They say that one of the most dangerous places to be in Washington, DC, is between Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) and a microphone. And what he’s said recently has found me actually agreeing this him—to a point: Menendez, Lautenberg and Kirsten Gillibrand support eliminating some or all of the Bush tax cuts. Schumer said the [...]
Will Reid Shut Down the Government?
Right now the two houses of government are in a big game of chicken. A budget is due at the end of the month, and since neither the Senate nor the President have put forth a budget bill, they are faced with considering a continuing resolution. So, the Republican lead House put forth one; however, [...]
I Don’t Care Who’s To Blame
Things are going horribly wrong for the President. The job numbers for the last month were stagnant. The vacation that he took was constantly criticized for extravagance—and he didn’t even get to stay the entire time because of the hurricane. His new jobs plan which looks a lot like his old jobs plan is dead [...]
Gov. Rick Perry and Prayer
Gov. Rick Perry is coming under a lot of fire, not just because he called for the people of his state to pray, but because he actually led a prayer service within the past week where Scripture was read and he prayed for President Obama. Of course this has the usual suspects1 up in arms [...]
The Birth Certificate Lives On
You may have thought that the latest offering from the White House on the birth certificate controversy would have put to rest the questions surrounding the location of our President’s birth. You’d be mistaken. The latest thing that’s come up is that the White House circulated a Certificate of Live Birth that was a forgery [...]
ObamaCare Funding In Jeopardy if Democrats Choose Tax Increases
I have to say I’m frustrated. I think that I would have preferred if the Republicans had just let the ceiling stand. And I’m not simply talking about the fact that the Dow and S&P are plunging, I’m talking about a matter of principle. We’ve chosen to spend more than we take in, and going [...]
Straight Talk on The Debt Ceiling
You know what really gets me going—the political theater that’s going on in Washington right now. For weeks I’ve been mulling over this thing, and I’ve come to a few conclusions.
Could God Be Calling Multiple Candidates?
Two Presidential candidates have come out to say that God has called them to run for the White House in 2012—Gov. Rick Perry and Rep. Michele Bachmann. Doesn’t this present a problem?
$534,000 Per Household
How do you plan on paying off this one? The $61.6 trillion in unfunded obligations amounts to $534,000 per household. That’s more than five times what Americans have borrowed for everything else — mortgages, car loans and other debt. It reflects the challenge as the number of retirees soars over the next 20 years and [...]
Should NPR Continue to be Publically Funded?
National Public Radio was created to get the news heard. It helped get radio stations in small towns. It provided programming with public dollars so that you could hear what was going on in the world. And today, it’s no more than a liberal mouthpiece that continues to use public money to pay its executives [...]
Herbert Hoover Economics?
Is cutting spending what led us into the Great Depression? Certain economists would like us to think so. The problem is, that idea runs counter to reality: From 1924 to 1928 Uncle Sam’s real per-capita spending fell by 4.3 percent. But this spending rose significantly during Hoover’s term in the White House. From 1928 to [...]
How Engaged Should The President Be?
Last week, while Japan was in the middle of a nuclear crisis and many were wondering whether fall out would reach the United States, the “Leader of the Free World” was on ESPN announcing his picks for March Madness. The rest of the week he spent golfing, and then in Brazil. Many have made the [...]
