Ultimately, the level of voter apathy and ignorance dictates the level of freedoms decay. This is evidenced by the degree of outrage we see over things like the IRS and Benghazi scandals, as well as any poll showing Hillary Clinton … Continue reading

The Bundy Ranch incident is symptomatic of a broader issue, and frankly something I’ve been predicting for quite a while. You see my fellow Americans, our system of government was never intended to function as such, and is collapsing under … Continue reading

Watching this POTUS on any given day makes one yearn for an earlier time. Yesterday’s touchy-feely exposition with my Boston Red Sox, along with his self-righteous, gloating, and arrogant victory lap over the “Obamacare” enrollment numbers, demonstrate once again that … Continue reading

One need only read the letters and papers of the Framers to understand that our founding documents were written to empower individuals, not government. That premise frightens Liberal Progressives right out of their noggins. The raging debate over the Second … Continue reading

I seem to recall the Obamabots screaming from the rafters that nearly 50 million Americans had no health insurance. Since then however, the facts have classified the difference between those who can’t afford insurance, illegals, and those, who for whatever … Continue reading

It is regrettable to note Sharyl Attkissons departure from CBS. Not because this good investigative reporter will have any problem finding work, (attention FOX), but rather because it speaks to the obvious decline in the integrity of “The Big Three”. I mean … Continue reading

“It’s not resonating”…
FOX’s O’Reilly was asked why he thought “Benghazi” has not gotten any “traction”. His answer was simple. “It’s not resonating“. Translation, President Obama, (and Hillary for that matter), are counting on the fact the American people don’t care enough to … Continue reading
“Not a smidgen of truth” to his presidency…
Apparently, the President didn’t feel he was arrogant and smug enough during the SOTU. Nevertheless O’Reilly hung in there, though Bill is always quick to give this president the benefit of the doubt on matters of motive. That said, the … Continue reading

Healthcare for all???

“Why don’t they try winning an election.”???

Obamacare “Bait and Switch”…
The POTUS continues his “Obamacare” Campaign, running around touting the 2010 Congressional vote on the PPACA, the SCOTUS decision, and his second term, as proof his signature achievement is somehow the people’s will. It’s truly amazing how Liberals can manipulate reality, … Continue reading
