Two weeks ago nearly everyone had written off Rick Perry. His poor debate performances and embarrassing gaffes had made even his most ardent supporters avert their eyes. But then Herman Cain began to self-destruct and while the media and pundits were busy with the postmortem examination of the Cain campaign, the Perry camp was busy finding a way to get back in the game. Fortuitously | Read More »
Obama’s Blueprint for a Clean Energy Future: “Maintaining our leadership in research and development is critical to winning the future and deploying innovative technologies that will create quality jobs and move towards clean energy economy that reduces our reliance on oil. But as we aspire to achieve new breakthroughs – a battery that will take a car 300 miles on a single charge or a way to turn sunlight | Read More »
“The one pervading evil of democracy is the tyranny of the majority, or rather of that party, not always the majority, that succeeds, by force or fraud, in carrying elections.” Lord Acton—The History of Freedom in Antiquity, 1877 Much ink and bandwith has been spilled analyzing the reasons Ohio’s collective bargaining reform law, Issue 2, failed to survive Tuesday’s referendum. Many suspect it was the millions of | Read More »
Those of us who are voting YES on Issue 2 have been accused of everything from wanting to destroy the middle class to putting the lives of our firefighters in danger. The truth is, most of us are just concerned citizens who see the budget crisis on our doorstep and realize that reforms are needed. While many public employees already pay 15% of their health | Read More »
Have you taken a few minutes to sit down with your 2010 federal tax return and W2′s to see how you’d fare under Herman Cain’s 9-9-9 plan? I did that today and was not thrilled by what I found. First, let me explain that I consider our family to be somewhere in the middle class range. We are a single income family with a very | Read More »
Earlier this week I shared some details about the alleged rape of a 19-year-old woman in the tent city at Cleveland Public Square. I didn’t catch this detail until I watched the news story again yesterday. WKYC “Senior Political Correspondent” Tom Beres reported: “[T]he group did not learn about this alleged incident until we told them early this afternoon.” This was on Wednesday. The police | Read More »
Several Cleveland news outlets have reported an alleged rape at the encampment of #OccupyCleveland. A 19-year-old woman who attends a school for children with special needs (autism, ADD, hyperactivity), has reported to police that the group’s organizers assigned her to a tent with someone named “Leland,” a stranger, who raped her on Sunday night. The young woman, who lives in a group home, reported the | Read More »
Last week the kids from #OccupyCleveland took a field trip to visit the Cleveland City Council. That’s kind of weird, because on Day One of the “occupation” the kids protested on the steps of Cleveland City Hall. But apparently, they kissed and made up. The warm feelings may have started when Ward 14 Councilman Brian Cummins attended their meeting on Day One and suggested some | Read More »
I’m not going to lie. I was getting close to hitching a ride on the Cain Train. The 999 plan’s simplicity was appealing and almost mesmerizing. Paul Ryan giving it some love was the cherry on top. Ryan told the Daily Caller: “We need more bold ideas like this because it is specific and credible I’m more of a flat-tax kind of a guy.” But | Read More »
A week ago I posted a diary about my undercover trip to #OccupyCleveland. I thought I’d drop by a week later to see how things were going. This time I had my 20-year-old son, a Hillsdale College student, in tow and our plan was to blend into the crowd and observe the action. However… No crowd. No action. Nothing to observe. You see, it rained | Read More »
