A recent article in the Charlotte Observer’s Campaign Tracker indicated that the Tea Party was on a “suicide mission in NC” via it’s headline. As the President of the Charlotte Tea Party, I naturally have an interest in reviewing such statements. Apparently “the tea party has named its top 2014 target in North Carolina: U.S. […]
My mother, as I’m sure yours did, taught me to “Never Trust A Stranger”. But in the long march of human development, progress occurs only in an environment of trust. An environment of largely unearned trust at that. Limiting our trust only to our circle of family, friends and colleagues would severely limit our ability […]
A recent Wall Street Journal brings us the daily dose of opinions and letters. The lead editorial tells us 90,000,000 Americans, who could be working, are not working. That is 10,000,000 more than when Obama was first elected. “To get more private jobs requires faster economic growth, ….two big concerns are regulation and ObamaCare. “But” Consumers and small business owners […]
In a recent Los Angeles Times article entitled “Four facts about the national debt you may not know,” assistant managing editor David Lauter claimed that “the U.S. debt burden is starting to decline.

In a recent speech at Binghamton University in which he lobbied for spending on various welfare programs, President Obama claimed that “we don’t have an urgent deficit crisis. The only crisis we have is one that’s manufactured in Washington, and it’s ideological.” Continuing, he declared that his political opponents fabricated this crisis so they can argue “that […]
The New York Times has an informative article online today. The link is below, but what follows is my take on the information they provide. Asthma is the leading chronic, correctable medical issues in the US. It’s also one of the most expensive to control in total dollars spent. Pulmicort, a steroid inhaler for asthma: […]
I fully believe that history will look at the events of October 13, 2013 as the day when people finally took constructive action against a government hell-bent on arbitrarily and selectively enforcing law and policy based on nothing but politics. President Obama’s biggest mistake? Targeting veterans. Since the government shutdown began on October 1, President […]
That word’s been thrown around a lot in the last five years. It’s been used as a scare tactic. It’s been ridiculed. It’s been used by both the important and the unimportant. It’s been used to define on the one hand, and defend on the other, the times we are living in. But few really […]
