Planners. You don’t elect them. You likely don’t even know them. They sit at desks in your city and county government buildings. They sit on bureaucratic boards you didn’t elect and you don’t see. Higher up in the echelons are the unelected planners and enforcers in Washington. They are appointed for their political ideology, which […]

The pundits are nearly unanimous in their praise today for Martha Raddatz’s handling of the Vice Presidential debate last night. While not surprising, I believe it’s instructive.

OK, you have to admit it. President Barack Obama is the very best President we have ever had in the United States of America over the past 223 years. He is also going to be the very best President we will ever have over the rest of America’s future, whether it is another 1000 years […]
