If you listened to very much of bandwagon’s reasoning during the 2008 elections, electing Barack Obama transcended politics. It was “historic.” It was “once-in-a-lifetime.” So much so, that many voted for the man on this basis alone. To be certain, there is no doubt that his presidency is indeed historic. Is, however, his election really…
In the popular flick Marley & Me, the protagonist’s friend—a fellow journalist—is sent to Colombia for to write a piece on the drug trafficking, because he’s got a guy that can “put him next to Pablo Escobar.” Pablo Escobar, as you may know, was the infamously violent Colombian drug warlord that put his nation on the…
Just a few days ago, the world lost one of the foremost champions of conservative principles. She was a champion of personal liberty and real freedom—working to reverse decades of economic oppression and suffocating progressivism in her country—yet the attacks on her work were unrelenting. Despite countless efforts to curtail her work, she never gave…
“The President shall from time to time give to Congress information of the State of the Union and recommend to their Consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient.” Article II, Sec. 3 Our Constitution requires that our president present a national progress report–which in effect is supposed to be somewhat of a score…
As I drove home from work this evening, my jaw dropped as I saw the gas prices jump nearly 20 cents from the last time I’d seen them, to a staggering $3.59 a gallon in my hometown. Where just 4 years ago the national average was just $1.87, our nation currently enjoys a national average…

Sadly, today, he demonstrated…
To my fellow Americans who chose to pull the lever for our current President: Will you be able to look your children in the eyes and know that your vote helped further saddle them with a debt they won’t likely pay off in their lifetimes, let alone allow them a shot at unbridled, unabashed success?…
As the election FINALLY draws near (I’m sure most of you out there are breathing a sigh of relief, including the girl in this video), we’re being inundated with poll after poll, prediction after prediction, and between the electoral college and the popular vote, it’s easy to get confused. Polls are such fickle things. When…
With everything going on in the world today– Libya and otherwise– I expected a fierce back and forth tonight- and instead I saw what equated to a dinner table discussion on foreign policy. . .sometimes not even on that. Or so I thought. I was thoroughly confused for nearly the whole thing. Each chance to…
I set out to watch this debate with the understanding that the last time, Barack Obama set the bar SO LOW that ANY progression would be viewed as a slam dunk by our friends in media, and on the left. I love it when I’m right. Let me be clear, however- Obama was no comeback…
