In case you missed it, our government perpetrated a crime against its citizenry recently by scooping up an American off the street and holding him indefinitely without charge for exercising his right to free speech.  This is truly frightening and clearly illustrates just how close to that edge of despotism we are currently teetering.  Glenn [...]

The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office released a sprawling economic report, and it underscored how dire our looming economic forecast looks. If we can somehow avoid falling off the fiscal cliff and deflect Taxmageddon, thereby averting a wave of scheduled tax hikes as the “Bush Tax Rates” expire, we can hopefully stay stagnated as we are [...]

Senator Harry Reid (D) said that the Tea Party movement will not last and will lose some seats in Congress in the November 2012 elections. Reid said as long as he is the Senate majority leader, the Tea Party is dead in the water.  He said, “The Tea Party will disappear as soon as the [...]

There was a time in this country, when unions provided a valuable resourse for the average worker.  Unions helped play an important role in leveling the playing field for workers at a time when their were few workplace safety laws, few restraints on employers, and incredibly exploitive working conditions that ranged from slavery, to share cropping, to [...]

Barack Obama’s home state and the location of his campaign headquarters should easily go to the incumbant President in the November 2012 election.  Illinois is not considered a swing state by any means; it is seen as solidly blue, and has been for the past two election cycles.  However, a new poll shows that the President Barack [...]

President Obama recently had the Jefferson Koran on display during the White House Ramadan dinner. While the President was accurate when he said, “Of all the freedoms we cherish as Americans, of all the rights that we hold sacred, foremost among them is freedom of religion, the right to worship as we choose.
