Glen Beck recently began to expose Barack Obama and his flip-flops, radical associations, and downright lies.  Now that we have about ten years of the President on audio and video, we can experience the inconsistencies directly from his lips.  In this day and age of digital media, the burden is on the average citizen to collect [...]

It appears that the EU collapse debate has shifted towards accepting the inevitability of a Greek exit with central bankers across the euro zone openly discussing the pros and cons of a Greek departure.  Now the focus seems to be that of the knock-on effect, particularly in Spain,  accelerating the euro crisis into an entirely new dimension.  [...]

Barack Obama had been urging young voters to go to social media web sites like Twitter and Facebook to pressure their lawmakers to prevent the interest rates on student loans “from shooting up and shaking you down.”  He is talking about the fact that interest rates are set to double on July 1, from 3.4% to 6.8%, on [...]

Two more Illinois coal-fired power plants are closing to the delight of Greenpeace and Sierra Club activists, but what does this mean for Chicagoans?  Rahn Emanuel pressured Chicago’s Fisk and Crawford plants to close earlier than previously scheduled.  These two power plants represent over 200 years of Chicago history and coal historically provides the city and the state [...]

Barack Obama’s latest campaign video totes what many believe will be the 2012 slogan: Forward.  Remember, another recent Obama video was entitled “The Road We’ve Traveled”.  It is awfully similar to a classic progressive book entitled “The Road We Are Traveling”, written in 1942 by Stuart Chase who admired the “planned” economy of the Soviet [...]
