Cagle Post: A Commonsense Plan in a World Gone Soft

America has a spending problem. Our national debt is racing towards the $15 trillion mark each and every day because of a culture of irresponsible spending in Washington. Throughout the ongoing Obama Recession, Americans have had to sit around the kitchen table and make hard cuts to their household budgets – Washington must do the […]

Politico: First lady criticism on Target?

The Target photo-op of the first lady was classic image manipulation. Let’s not forget that Michelle Obama recently took some heat for wearing a $40,000 bracelet to a DNC fundraiser in New York a few weeks back. It is okay to wear a $40,000 bracelet – just own it, don’t pretend to be something you’re […]

Concord Monitor: How the movies are made, sold

Are Newt Gingrich’s movies educational? Political advertisements? For profit? A little of everything?

In 2009, President Obama […]

The Obama electoral map from 2008 was an anomaly. Swing states like Colorado, Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Virginia have flipped red again because of Obama’s failed liberal policies. President Obama promised that he would govern as a centrist, when in actuality he has governed like a European socialist. Core constituencies in swing states like […]

First Amendment Center: Amendment to undo Citizens United won’t do

Gene Policinski of the First Amendment Center effectively tackles the problems with Reps. John Conyers and Donna Edwards’ proposed amendment to overturn our Supreme Court decision in Citizens United v. FEC: …Few likely would debate the motive that Conyers and Edwards say is behind the proposed amendment: fair elections, honest government. But good intentions don’t […]
