America hates Newt Gingrich – so say The Washington Examiner and the polls. And with nearly 60% of the electorate holding an ‘unfavorable’ opinion of the former Speaker of the House, it is hard to argue the point. Newt simply is not well-liked, particularly among Democrats and the ‘establishment-types’ within the Republican Party. Now, with his surprisingly comfortable win in South Carolina over the weekend, | Read More »
“The people are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our Liberty.” –Thomas Jefferson Last year at this time, my friend and fellow conservative, Tabitha Hale, wrote a piece entitled “2010: The Year of the Citizen,” wherein she reflected upon the consequential political happenings of 2009 and provided her poignant outlook and predictions for the upcoming new year. Over the course of the last twelve | Read More »
Something is happening in the heartland. And those who consider themselves to be purveyors of political wisdom would be well served to sit up and take notice: South Dakota Senator John Thune (R) is starting to emerge as a political cyclone. At this point, most Americans are familiar with John Thune only as a result of his 2004 shocking upset of (then) U.S. Senate Minority Leader, | Read More »
From the diaries, by Erick “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” ~Saul Alinsky The Left has its new target, and he is none other than University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC) law professor and current candidate for Kansas Secretary of State, Kris Kobach. Kobach, a constitutional scholar and former chief adviser and counsel to Attorney General, John Ashcroft, has come under fierce | Read More »
Republicans have become the “Party of No” – Heard that one lately? It certainly seems as if one cannot turn on the television, pick up a newspaper or peruse Al Gore’s internet without running across some flippant liberal/progressive reference to the GOP’s “Just-Say-No” attitude. Over the past several months, Democrats have consistently (and increasingly) blasted those in the conservative movement for their “unwillingness to act” | Read More »
December 16, 1773 – On a cold Massachusetts evening, thousands of oppressed American citizens gathered around Boston Harbor to voice their displeasure with their government. After decades of being taxed, tyrannized, and having their grievances ignored, those Massachusetts citizens did what Americans ultimately do – They put their lives, their families and their fortunes on hold in order to protect liberty. And on that night, | Read More »
“When the people fear their government, there is tyranny. When the government fears the people, there is liberty.” –Thomas Jefferson 09.12.09 – Some are calling it the beginning of the Second American Revolution. Yet the hope is (for now at least) that this “revolution” will be fought with words rather than guns; on the battlefield of ideas rather than in bunkers all across the fruited | Read More »
Dear Mr. President: I write to you today in an attempt to address an ongoing problem which seems to be plaguing your administration and this country as a whole. This crisis first came to my attention during your historic primary election against (then) Senator Hillary Clinton. At the time, I assumed that the calamity of which I speak simply was a byproduct of your | Read More »
Something is happening. You can just…feel it. It’s not anything that can be defined or explained or even put into words at this point, but it’s there…and you can feel it. While the President of the United States is wrapping up his European vacation, fresh off of poo-pooing American ideals and insulting capitalist principles, anger is building across the homeland. An awakening to the | Read More »
Something is happening. You can just…feel it. It’s not anything that can be defined or explained or even put into words at this point, but it’s there…and you can feel it. While the President of the United States is off campaigning in Europe, poo-pooing American ideals and insulting capitalist principles, anger is building across the homeland.

America is going through an identity crisis. No doubt about it. From the election of Barack Hussein Obama, to the imminent adoption of the latest “stimulus package,” to the closing of Gitmo and the “re”-funding of foreign abortions, this great country of ours is at a crossroads. Unfortunately, the vast majority of Americans seem content to shuffle through their i-pods and update their “My-Space” pages | Read More »
Do you ever have one of those moments when you feel as though you have taken a left turn off of the reality super-highway and merged right into the twilight zone? My moment occurred last Sunday when my wife and I were enjoying our morning coffee and reading the newspaper (if you consider the Kansas City Star a paper containing actual “news,” that is). The | Read More »
I realize that, according to President Barack Obama and the Obamamania Media, all things wrong with America can be summed up in these three words: George Walker Bush. If you had any doubts about that particular line of thought after the first sixty days of Obama’s presidency, all you had to do was tune into that snoozer of a press conference he held last week | Read More »
Those of you who know me know that I have never been a proponent of wild conspiracy theories. I consider myself to be generally sane, with my thoughts and ideas grounded in logic and reason. I make it a habit to not live my life or attempt to persuade others with what I call a “chicken little” mentality. You know those types – the Al | Read More »
