It appears that liberals in America, particularly those that are employed as journalists and academic professionals, believe former President Ronald Reagan did more harm than good during his eight years in the Oval Office. And as usual when these individuals are actually pressed as to why they have come to the conclusion that Reagan’s legacy […]
In my almost 30-year finance career I’ve worked with literally thousands of companies, and I cannot think of one instance where union involvement has been positive for a business. Conversely, I can think of multiple examples of unions creating needless problems for businesses, and in some cases being a major contributor to business failure. Union […]
A disconnection exists between the people and their government these days that only seems to be growing worse at the local level. Many taxpayers wonder, “What do we have to do to get these politicians to wake up?” Mike Fryer, an Asheville area resident and occasional political activist who has run for office, recently highlighted […]
One of the main themes of President Obama’s SOTUS speech was his ad nauseum support for “green” energy’s (supposed) solutions to getting America out of buying foreign oil.

This bill sought to impose greater regulations and costs on food producers, and like most […]
According to a recent Rasmussen Reports survey, support for the overall repeal of the federal government’s health care overhaul has never fallen below 50 percent. However, many Americans are slowly accepting the idea that an all out repeal may be a mere fantasy since Democrats presently control the Senate by a slim margin, as well […]
My mother used to tell me a story about villagers who were unhappy with their lives. She said they each put their own troubles in a bag with their name on it and then carried the bags to a hilltop. When all of the bags were presented, they each had the opportunity to go to […]
