Well, they did it.With the passing of the Health Care bill, America may have finally, officially passed into the twilight of our prosperity. If allowed to stand, this new piece of social welfare will be the coup de grace of a century-long effort to pacify and emasculate the American spirit of liberty and the value of the individual.The economic reality of this bill, combined with the other

With world leaders conspiring in Copenhagen this week to level a crippling Carbon Tax on the developed world, this is an opportune time to educate yourself on this man-made farce. The link below is a PDF of a pamphlet I created to give you the intellectual ammo needed to debunk the Global Warmists among us. I scaled down a list of 100 Global Warming Myths to a more manageable (and ample) 50.The

According to U.S. Army and Marine sources on the ground in Afghanistan, American troops have been placed under a strict Rules of Engagement policy which many believe will cause the death of more U.S. servicemen. These new Rules of Engagement have been approved by President Barack Obama after the insistance of Afghan President Hamid Karzai. The rules include: • No night or surprise searches •

I often get asked what I believe on various issues and what it is that I'm advocating with the Take America Back bands. Take it back from whom?, I'm often asked. Let me say this... this is not about health insurance, it's not about higher taxes, it's not about cap and trade issues, it's not about the farce that has become our monetary system, it's not about obscene deficits, it's not the

You can't turn on the TV or talk radio show these days without hearing the words "communism" and "socialism" flying around like a swarm of locust. Most Democrats ridicule such talk and simply write it off as the rantings of those right-wing extremists. For Democrats, words like communism and its brethren are just pejorative barbs design to sidetrack debate on the good works they are trying to do.

PreludeI'm not in favor of government-run healthcare, let me make that clear. America unequivocally has the best care in the world because of innovation born in the private healthcare industry. If we MUST make reforms to appease the political elite and their constituency, here is a plan that would address most of the pressing issues and fairly give everyone a stake in their own healthcare and the

Why do Leftist TV pundits and liberal "thinkers" consider tax cuts an "income boost" to those who receive them. This is offensive. To speak about tax cuts in terms of how much they "cost" is intellectually dishonest. This is a common tactic of the Left. The government is not GIVING anything to me, in the case of a tax cut, that I haven't already EARNED.And that's the biggest difference between

Over on Facebook today, I got into a brief debate about the merits of capitalism. Fitting too, as the topic du jour (Healthcare) is at its core, a tug-of-war between the "have's" and the "have not's." What bothers me most is the false belief that capitalism is a zero sum game -- that for some to win, others must lose. This is theoretically and in reality, a false proposition. It assumes that

I've been interested in politics for about 15 years. I studied it in college, graduating with a Political Science degree. I have been fortunate to see its inner workings up close as campaign coordinator for a U.S. Senate candidate who came a hair away from winning. I have run a large student political organizations. I've run for State Senate myself, as a candidate. Gladly, I did not win ;) I have
