It was one of the highlights of the Republican presidential nominating process. Mitt Romney’s chief opponent, Rick Santorum, went off on “Etcha-Sketch Romney,” billing him “the worst Republican to put up against Obama.” That Santorum to the financially and politically expedient course and later endorsed Romney doesn’t make what he […]
Rarely, it seems, agencies of the federal government can work together in a coordinated effort, unless of course, they are planning to trample on the rights of ordinary citizens. And, especially when it can be done in the name of “security.” Hot on the heels of Congress re-authorizing the Unpatriotic […]
I was walking through the grocery store the other day — through the soda aisle on my way to the dairy coolers, to be precise — when it struck me. I have options to choose from when I’m thirsty than I do for President of the United States. Or […]
So, like all of the rest of you, I watched the live coverage of the Nebraska primary election with baited breath. What?! You didn’t watch? Well, then, I suppose you don’t know about the latest move by the U.S. Travesty of Justice Department. Attorney General Eric Holder has sent “observers” […]
I don’t think it’s any secret that I’m not a fan of Mitt Romney. Likewise, it’s probably not a national secret that I have zero interest in voting for Willard, either. So, who am I going to vote for? Barack Obama? While he’s slightly less liberal than the former governor […]
Ron Paul pretty well sealed his fate with a majority of Republican voters with his performance Friday night on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.” But most Republicans may be focusing on the wrong when they make that assessment of the congressman’s presidential aspirations. During the brief interview with […]
Here’s a fun civics question you can use to stump your patriot friends: “How many amendments to the United States Constitution were recommended in The Bill of Rights?” The answer — on that in a moment — will surprise you. During the Constitution Convention debates, opponents — the Antifederalists […]
“When I’m elected President, I will work to defund Planned Parenthood.” Fill in the blank with whichever Republican presidential candidate you want, and than likely, you have an on-the-record quote. But, according to a report Monday by The Washington Post, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration is seriously considering […]
Yesterday was the 236th birthday of the United States Marine Corps (Semper Fiis, with a Bravo Zulu and Charlie Mike in there for good measure). Today is Veterans Day. Like most veterans, I will gather with my comrades today for special events in honor of those among us who, at […]
“In God We Trust” is the newest states’ rights issue? As a child, my grandfather gave me a very brief treatise on the Peter Principle that I’ve held onto the rest of my life: “Everyone is promoted to his highest level of incompetence.” And that premise is never displayed in […]
“Drill, baby drill!” It’s been the mantra of proponents for expanding America’s use of domestic petroleum to counter the increasing volatility that comes from our dependence upon foreign oil. And, I’m strongly in that camp. I believe using our own oil resources is vital not only to our national security […]
Tom Daschle is losing his lead over Republican challenger John Thune in the South Dakota Senate race with less than a month to go before the General Election. Thune, a former congressman, either holds a 50-48 or trails by a 49-47 margin, depending upon which poll you believe in. That’s […]
If one needs to know what would happen if radical, militant Muslims had their way, all he or she needs to do is take one long, hard lo at what is happening in the Darfur Province of Sudan. There, a radically Islamic government is running am. Darfur is the western-most […]
Since his death one week ago today, many have tried to downplay Ronald Reagan’s historic importance, saying one should “wait and see” how history plays out before passing judgment.
