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…
How many words in the English language are there to express a sentiment of utter shock? “Stunned” is my current favorite. 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…
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.…
Forward. The word can be taken to mean several things when used as a presidential campaign slogan. On one hand, it could mean that the president has experienced a few bumps, has learned from those bumps, and is pressing on.

Many of you have more than likely seen the movie, “Remember the Titans.” Those of you who have seen it remember the movie for the end result- the unlikely coming together of teammates; but more importantly, of human beings.

Once upon a time, we lived in a nation where laws and freedoms did not vary with the currents of race, religion, gender, or political party. Just a few generations ago the likes of Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks (among many others) fought to ensure that this was entirely so. In just a few…
We must be very, very careful how we finish out this primary season. We must be careful that we are not simply stocking the war chest of attack-ad ideas of the Obama Campaign strategy brain trust. In other words, let’s not make David Axelrod’s job easier. The problem? Mitt Romney and Bain Capital. I’m gonna…
I felt somewhat (oh ok, really) proud of myself yesterday when I beat one of my favorite radio hosts to the punch in an analysis of the President’s most recent of many pitches for his so-called jobs bill. The specific observation? The President made the following “the rich are so selfish” point standing in front…
In a forum generally left for major events; that is, State of the Union addresses, declarations of war, etc., the President took the podium Thursday evening to pitch his jobs plan to the nation. Rather, he took the podium this evening in front of a Joint Session of Congress to pitch his first major campaign…
