America is great because: A) We have great infrastructure; public education and public welfare systems, or B) People have the freedom to make and create whatever products or services they want to and are only constrained by their creative energies. Massachusetts Senate Democratic candidate Elizabeth Warren recently fired the opening salvo in her campaign against […]
Let’s face facts. Obama is not going after “the wealthy” to pay their fair share. The elitists, statists, and the greens are not attacking the poor or themselves. The object of their hatred is all aimed at the middle class. They can, will, and have controlled the poor. In fact they’ve been doing that for […]
An old acquaintance of mine, a passionate progressive, gave away the game in a recent conversation when he said, contemptuously, “Your people (by which he meant the Tea Party) are idiots for fetishizing the Constitution. Everybody knows that it’s just an artifact.” A stunning proposition and stated with such refreshing candor. Does the Constitution still […]
The federal education program No Child Left Behind is leaving behind the very children it was supposedly designed to help. The law dictates that all elementary and secondary school children in government-run public schools be “proficient” in reading and math by 2014, according to standards set by politicians and federal bureaucrats. According to President Obama’s […]
To say the federal government is growing out of control is simply an understatement. The fact is no other presidential administration in America’s history has racked up more debt than the current spender-in-chief. Even George W. Bush’s spending was “limited” to just over $1 billion a day, as compared to Barack Obama’s current and egregiously […]
As Social Security is considered the third rail of national politics, Ron Paul is the third rail of the Republican Party.

Contrarily, Paul’s supporters are dedicated to crowning him the savior of the GOP and the United States overall. If Paul […]
A new, potentially, game-changing factor has crept into the GOP presidential race. It used to be enough to win the pro-life caucus goers and primary voters to be for overturning Roe. That may be about to change. If it does, all bets on whether Mitt Romney and Rick Perry will remain front-runners are off. Why […]
As the world turns, the creditors continue to line up for their interest payments. In Greece the lenders let the politicians borrow money to spend on their current pet projects and continued to lend them money for more pet projects until Greece cannot repay the loans. This was not a difficult situation to foresee. Something […]
‘My Fellow Americans: Now is not the time to weep or moan. Now is not the time to look back and assess blame. I have made more than my fair share of mistakes. People in Congress on both sides of the aisle, on Wall Street, in the Big Banks, in Detroit and in the mortgage […]
The United States is a nation of cultural icons. Some places, symbols, and activities shout “America” with the voice of three hundred million citizens: the Statue of Liberty, Yankee Stadium, an Independence Day cookout. High on the list of those iconic symbols is the front yard lemonade stand. It represents the essence of budding entrepreneurialism […]
