Many people have been discarding the principles of the Second Amendment (II) these past few weeks. They argue that our country implemented the Amendment when they had single shot muskets. They state that, had the founders had AR’s, they wouldn’t have allowed such guns to be protected by the Constitution. This assertion really couldn’t be more incorrect. The Second Amendment was meant to allow American | Read More »
Many conservatives are beginning to think that the President has made now made his political fights personal. Maybe it was the tone of the election, maybe he is just angry about the conservative revenge seen in the 2010 midterms, but Mr. Obama has entered into a new phase of his politicking.

2013 is turning out to be a scary year for regular Americans. In the past, we’ve had POTUS’s like George W. Bush who took unconstitutional actions, like wiretapping under the Patriot Act, because they were attempting to achieve a greater goal. I don’t excuse it.

This was a huge win for them and they should be proud. I dislike Obama more than ever but we have to respect strength and right now, Obama’s got it.

Yesterday, many conservatives were dismayed to hear Eric Cantor (R-VA, two-face) come out and claim that House Republicans had gotten to 218 votes to pass Boehner’s tax hike bill.
