It is naïve to believe Barack Obama was unaware of his own campaign team’s re-election strategies. Foremost, was preventing the Tea Party and conservatively oriented groups from raising money for advertising and discussing critical issues like unemployment, deficit spending and ObamaCare. Second, was ignoring those actually responsible for the attacks at Benghazi, Libya that killed four Americans. Being truthful concerning both issues would have compromised | Read More »

        Has America’s timidity and ineffective response to domestic and international terrorism emboldened those who oppose democratic principles and freedoms? Were the Boston bombings simply another test of our government’s unwillingness to properly identify and counter radical Islamic Jihad?      The cowardly attack using bombs packed with nails and buckshot were specifically designed to kill and maim innocent civilians.  Why did it take our President | Read More »

America is becoming unrecognizable. National pride, patriotism, morality, family values and religious faith are succumbing to socialist ideology. Secularists and Godless advocates are seeking to stifle religious liberty and constitutionally guaranteed freedom. Government is legalizing drugs, teaching small children sex and providing eleven year old girls abortion medication without parental notification. Having children out of wedlock and same sex relationships are in vogue. Opportunity, ambition | Read More »

No sound reason exists to alter the time honored institution of marriage in order to satisfy a group of homosexuals and lesbians. Rather, we should redefine same sex relationships as “associations”, provide equal legal protection and leave traditional “marriage” unchanged.  It should remain limited to the union of one man and one woman and immune to governmental interference, Supreme Court dictates, politicians or a small | Read More »

President Obama and his family’s lavish living styles are unaffected by sequestration and his forced budget reduction plan? While the President cancelled White House tours for school children, taxpayers have paid for over 100 expensive rounds of golf including a three day trip for lessons and a game with Tiger Woods that cost $930,000. Educational grants for children of deceased military personnel of the Iraq | Read More »

Its time to give congratulations to Barack Obama for spending our tax dollars on something really important, not a $900,000 three day golf outing, not multiple Hawaii vacations or sightseeing trips for him and his family, not a private trainer and jet plane to transport his dog, Bo. but something really, really important. Forget about our military, veterans, seniors, youngsters and those really in need | Read More »

The Obamas are taking unfair advantage of taxpayers simply because  their travel, expenses and protection are guaranteed. The multi-million dollar costs of their sightseeing trips, ski sojourns, vacations and golf outings are being shouldered by the poor and hard-pressed middle class taxpayers. During high unemployment, increased payroll taxes, oppressive energy and gasoline costs and huge budget deficits should we pay millions for the First Family’s | Read More »

This letter is in response to Bob Engle’s Feb.10th column in the Asbury Park Press concerning Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ). The newspaper was also correct in stating recently that, “ Menendez has a lot of explaining to do”. Why has the Senator escaped more comprehensive inquiries concerning alleged acts of impropriety and unethical conduct. Could it be unwillingness by the liberal media and  Fourth Estate | Read More »

The Presidential election is over but Obama’s propaganda campaign will continue as a non-profit organization for the first time in American politics. Not content with supportive and sympathetic communication media and a Fourth Estate that shills for his every action and pronouncement, this group will provide targeted support and leadership. Organized under a 501(c)4 social and non-profit label it will be named “Organizing for Action” | Read More »

Lifting the ban on women serving in direct combat is the most degrading, humiliating decision possible for a mother, wife, sister, daughter or any female. Assume she joins the Army and takes basic and artillery training at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. After training, she is assigned to a Field Artillery Observation Battalion with orders to replace a similar outfit in South Korea. Her new temporary home | Read More »

Barack Obama is not the first or only President to issue Executive Orders, yet, many believe doing so is dictatorial. However, legal challenges will surely follow if it is believed Constitutional checks and balances are being deliberately ignored to bypass a Republican Congress and the people’s representatives. A myriad of social, religious and issue-oriented groups will find some policies and regulations unacceptable and seek adjudication | Read More »

The Obama Administration’s changes and influences are making America virtually unrecognizable. No longer do many Americans exhibit national pride, patriotism, family loyalty, traditional values or religious faith. In fact, those who proudly cling to religious upbringing and biblical teachings seem under attack by Godless advocates seeking to stifle religious liberty. Opportunity, ambition and work ethics have been replaced by government dependency and a “what’s in | Read More »

The nation-wide attempt to adversely impact Walmart’s business and intimidate their customers failed. Walmart’s employees are neither forced to work for the company or pay union dues. Whether their salaries and benefits are less than higher class retail establishments is questionable. The company has a different business model and caters primarily to both under-privileged and a middle class clientele. Their prices on merchandise reflect this | Read More »

     Many questions prevail concerning the military aggression against Israel. Why did Hamas wait until after the U.S. election to launch rockets at Israel? Were they concerned a Romney Presidency would not stand idly by? Why has Barack Obama withheld public condemnation of attacks emanating from Palestinian territory against innocent Jewish civilian villages?      Many believe Obama’s foreign policy is responsible for encouraging this aggression. Could | Read More »

Unfortunately, my pre-election premonition was correct. Re-elected was an individual no one really knows, understands or even if he is eligible to be our President. Many fear that by 2016  our Country will cease to resemble that willed to us by our founding fathers. Also, forgotten, is Pres. Kennedy’s appeal that “Americans ask not what their country can do for them but rather, what they | Read More »

Was the Al Qaeda terrorist attack and murder of four Americans in Libya simply a “bump in the road”? Are numerous vacations, golf outings and fund-raising trips raising cash from millionaire and billionaire supporters more important than participating in daily National Security briefings?      Is answering softball questions on “The View” or night television more critical than meeting Prime Minister Netanyahu concerning Iran’s threat to | Read More »

Israel must realize why an American President of Muslim birth and upbringing may place long-standing traditional support of the Jewish State in doubt. Surely, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, recognizes this after numerous snubs and insults. No longer can friendship and a strong military alliance be taken for granted in Israel’s battle for survival. Policies by President Obama and his Party indicate this government’s sympathy rests | Read More »

The question isn’t whether we are better off but, should Americans ignore broken promises and ineffective leadership? With 23 million unemployed and 43 months of 8% unemployment, Obama has failed. A misdirected energy policy, gasoline prices double, gas and electric rates higher, record home foreclosures and thousands in appreciated home value lost during his Presidency, is deplorable. Food prices are up 15% and America’s middle | Read More »

How morbid that killing babies and same sex relationships will be the principle advocacies of the Democratic National Convention. Preferring death over life and opposing the traditional Judeo-Christian definition of marriage are more important than  millions of men and women suffering because they can’t find jobs to support their families. Democrats believe these issues more critical than thousands of families who lost homes to foreclosure | Read More »

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis) is absolutely correct. If Medicare and Medicaid are not revamped for those presently age 55 and under, both plans face future bankruptcy. His proposal recommends no mandatory changes for those 55 or older and keeps their safety net intact in spite of a concerted Democrat campaign of distortion, misinformation and smear. The Ryan Plan is in stark contrast to onerous rules | Read More »

Is it coincidental that enactment of ObamaCare recently resulted in revised government recommendations for medical testing? If not for cost, why are long-standing testing procedures suddenly being questioned? Could it be the “Affordable Care Act” or ObamaCare, may not be so affordable after all? Are government sponsored agencies attempting to influence physicians, medical facilities and patients to limit testing because of cost? The answers to | Read More »

An extremely active, vociferous minority led by President Barack Obama is intent on making same sex marriage America’s National Policy. Rep.

Its not only Chic-fil-A and its owners who are being ostracized for daring to exercise Constitutionally guaranteed Freedom of Speech and Religion.

Intelligence leaks reportedly emanating from the White House may constitute a key issue in the Presidential election. Leaking classified and sensitive information endangers lives and national security. Many believe this was strictly for political gain and to enhance President Obama’s foreign policy image.

Should America’s First Family take unfair advantage of taxpayers simply because their travel, expenses and protection are guaranteed? The press and media risk being ostracized if they dare question the conduct of President Obama’s wife or children so they remain mute. Americans want the President and his family to be happy, comfortable and safe during their stay in the White House. However, when their most | Read More »
