Do you want the Obama Administration to dictate your healthcare choices? If not, you need to act now. Because North Carolina is almost out of time to convince Governor-elect Pat McCrory to refuse to implement an ObamaCare Exchange. Remember when ObamaCare passed and then-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said they had to pass it […]
If a candidate for elective office agrees to a pledge not to raise taxes, it seems all he has done is make a promise. It is not the same as when he takes office and then pledges to uphold the constitution or the state laws or some such. Nonetheless, Grover Norquist has made a name […]
“I’d like to emphasize that once we have a clear plan in place, we will communicate to our citizens via multiple methods, to ensure they are aware of our plans.” Those are the words of the Town of Davidson’s public information officer, Christina Shaul, regarding the $6.3 million Capital Improvement Program that passed unanimously Tuesday night. […]
A new product hits the market. You hear the hype. It’s the greatest thing since sliced bread. It’s an iPhone, or a Cuisinart food processor, or On Star for your car. Whatever the new invention idea is, it is supposed to make your life easier and take away all of your work and worries. At the risk of […]
The 2012 election was a tremendous setback for the Republican Party. Rather than fighting boldly for free markets and constitutional rights such as religious freedom, the GOP damaged itself with a message (not “messaging”) of banal platitudes.

The world is one seriously messed up place to call home at the moment. Certainly, humanity has suffered its share of problems in the past, but never before has the world had so many problems of such varying scale and dimension in so many places – all at the same time. Things are going haywire […]
Something about the inherent ‘unfairness’ and ‘regressive’ nature of the Powerball lottery got me to thinking: ‘How much do poor and lower-and-middle income people pay in taxes anyway each year?’ I fully put lottery payments into the ‘tax revenue’ category since they go to support government functions such as public education at the state level.

Many people who live in states with appointed judges are appalled when they learn some states like North Carolina actually elect our judges. Honestly, I can’t say I disagree with them. To me, electing judges somehow just doesn’t feelright. Judges should be above the political fray as much as possible. That’s why Federal judges are appointed […]
Some days I think if I see and read the word “sustainable” one more time, I’m going to go into convulsions, throw up, and pass out. The word has become so ridiculous at this point you could substitute the word “rubbish” and get the same meaning. It has to be the most used and abused word that […]
