Let’s take a break for a moment from the left-wing knee-jerk reaction to this weekend’s horrific act of violence and concentrate on something that flew somewhat under the radar as a result of the same. On July 19th, Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano spoke before the House Judiciary Committee on the topic of prosecutorial discretion…
As a nation, we are known to collectively grieve when one part of our great land is faced with a terrible atrocity, as was the case on Friday when a madman rampaged a theater full of innocent people in Aurora, Colorado. Friday’s killing spree was not only a tragedy, but an outrage. One would think…
Her efforts have been called “McCarthyism” by fellow Minnesota Representative Keith Ellison. And, just like Senator McCarthy, time will likely prove her to be correct. . . sadly. Just slightly over a decade after 9/11, Minnesota Representative Michele Bachmann had the “nerve” to suggest the there might be a problem with radical Islamic infiltration in the United…
We’ve been in hard times before. We’ve seen our share of tough spots. And generally, we’ve been able to come out of them. This inexcusable excuse for fiscal management, however, is arguably the worst this nation has ever experienced. Never before have we seen such debt, such deficit, and as if all that weren’t enough- such an…

It shouldn’t “stun” me that the administration partakes in or supports extra-constitutional activities; after all, the past four years have done nothing but clarify the same; but I had a little more faith in…

I’ll give you a hint- they agreed to meet with their preeminent adviser and counselor in a few brief moments of sincere reflection and heartfelt supplication. They resolved to pray. “Tuesday, September 6, 1774- Resolved, that the…
Three kids are playing in a backyard. They’ve decided that they’re going to act out a story, and each person is assigned a specific role and function. As they go along, two of the kids realize that the third isn’t carrying out his assigned role, and because of that they’re having trouble making theirs work.…
I once heard a story of how a teacher got her students’ attention in a very big way. It went something like this: The high school students filed into the school and made their way to their respective classrooms. One group walked into a completely empty room- devoid of the desks they all called home…
