No More Needless Violence

There are many symptoms of a weak leader, from economic downturn and international conflict, to violent civil disruptions. Throughout the tenure of Barrack Obama we have seen each of these in spades and with the continued support of weak, absurd, and xenophobic candidates, it seems that there is no end in sight. Obama’s presidency has […]

Business as Usual

In order for a democracy to function properly, the individuals embedded within the bureaucracy must be able to make informed, credible decisions and, more importantly, they must be able to compromise. When FDR brought his ‘New Deal’ to American politics, a new hard left was established. The coalition against it, comprised mostly of southern Republicans, […]

Obama’s Anti-Democracy

When an administration chooses to violate the constitution it shows, not only a troubling abuse of power, but a complete disrespect for the democratic method. The constitution was written by the founding fathers to protect the rights and liberties of the citizens that they represented. Immediately after the resolution of the constitution, it was ratified […]

The Taxman Cometh

More and more businesses seem to be leaving continental United States for the shores of countries with friendlier commercial tax rates. Both republicans and democrats are seeking a reform in American tax law but the nature of the house is partisan and, with constantly divisive politics, very few important changes have been made. Republicans are […]

America and her slow descent into fascism

Merriam-Webster’s dictionary defines fascism as “a way of organizing a society in which a government ruled by a dictator controls the lives of the people and in which people are not allowed to disagree with the government” characterized by “…severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition”. For a country founded on the […]

Veteran’s Day

This Veteran’s Day, while we are remembering the sacrifices of past generations, it is worthwhile to think about the youngest generation of American veterans. The two longest wars in American history were fought concurrently over the last decade. These wars required the service of the greatest number of Americans since the Vietnam War. Now that […]

American Fascism

In recent weeks, another Republican challenger, former neurosurgeon Ben Carson, has been surging in Republican primary polls. In the most recent Iowa polls, he has even taken the lead from business mogul, Donald Trump.

Bush Criticizes Obama

Last Saturday, former President George W. Bush attended a fundraising event for the presidential campaign of his brother, Jeb Bush, at the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas.

Closing Guantanamo

One of President Barack Obama’s first actions after being sworn in as president in January of 2009 was to sign an executive order directing the Central Intelligence Agency to shut down its network of secret prisons and ordering the closing of the Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp. This closure never happened, both because of Congress’s reluctance […]

They Hate America

Last week, former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani declared his belief that President Obama does not love America. At a private fundraising dinner for Republican presidential hopeful Scott Walker, Giuliani said, “I do not believe – and I know this is a horrible thing to say – but I do not believe that the president […]

Obama’s ISIS Plan

While it has fallen out of the news cycle to some degree in recent months, the terrorist organization calling itself the Islamic State or ISIS has suddenly regained the media’s attention. With the incredibly barbaric and brutal murder of captured Jordanian fighter pilot, Lt. Moath al-Kasasbeh, and the reported death of American hostage Kayla Mueller, […]

Obama’s Budget

This week, President Obama introduced his budget plan for the next ten years. In this budget, the president created a wish list of government policies that sound too good to be true. The unfortunate fact is that these policies are too good to be true. They are simply another deception in the false Demo-Republican rivalry, […]

Failing Security

Two weeks ago, I wrote about how our current government in the United States has bent over backwards to appease the world’s bullies, like Russia, rather than standing up for what is right. In that post, I mentioned the provocative and dangerous Russian act of aggression against a United States Navy warship, the guided missile […]

Un-American Activities

Following the financial crisis in 2008, the crisis that some called the second Great Depression, many pundits predicted that there would be new restrictions placed on the financial industry to prevent Wall Street from running our economy into the ground again. After all, with Congress’s repeal of the Glass-Steagal Act in 1999 under President Clinton, […]

Appeasing Bullies

Wherever there are bullies, people who are willing to throw their weight around and intimidate weaker people to get what they want, there are people who will do everything they can to appease those bullies. At certain times in our past, the United States has been a champion that stood up to bullies like the […]

Fiscal Priorities

Charity begins at home! It seems that the attorneys and career politicians in Washington have forgotten this simple truth. America gives away tens of billions of dollars in foreign aid every single year, with most of this money being invested in countries where the citizens hate America and would treasure the opportunity to kill Americans […]

Military Command

On November 24, 2014, the United States Secretary of Defense, Chuck Hagel, announced his retirement from his position. This makes him the third Secretary of Defense under the Obama administration to retire without serving a full term. Before Mr. Hagel served, both Leon Panetta and Robert Gates stepped down after serving just a few years […]

Immigration Reform

One of the biggest issues facing America today is the question of immigration reform. Every year, roughly one million immigrants are granted lawful permanent residence in the United States. However, at any given time, there are over 11 million immigrants living and often working illegally in the United States. Our government attempts to deport as […]

Medical Costs

The United States health care system is in a state of crisis, and every effort our government has made to improve things has only made it worse. The most recent effort, Obamacare, attempted to create conditions that would allow all Americans to have access to health insurance. Instead, it just drove up the cost that […]

Obamacare Problems

President Obama’s legacy will largely be judged based on the most important piece of legislation he championed, the Affordable Care Act – usually referred to as Obamacare. President Obama has been claiming that Obamacare has been a triumph for him and his administration. The Obama administration has announced that over 8 million Americans have enrolled […]
