Months of tension erupted into open hostility last night when the president of the Chicago Teachers Union, Karen Lewis, called for work stoppage in the nation’s third-largest district, closing classrooms for about 400,000 students.  The Chicago Public Schools (CPS) officials claim they are only seeking a “fair” contract.  Fair.  Everyone can agree that children should [...]

The rant featuring Adam Carolla breaking down the current Occupy Wall Street movement in simple terms for everyone to understand is music to my ears. I can listen to it over and over.  He dives into the cultural reasons that led us into this situation, as well as the solution to our problems.  More importantly [...]

Almost every week there’s a story in the news about a huge hurricane, earthquake, fire, or flood.  While there’s no way to tell ahead of time when a disaster will strike or how bad it will be, we can still prepare.  One of the best things we can do now to help protect ourselves and [...]

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 [...]

It’s an important week with Congressman Ron Paul’s Audit the Fed bill, H.R. 459, being voted on this Tuesday, July 24, in the U.S. House of Representatives.  This is an exciting move because the bill is being introduced under a “suspension of the rules.”  What this means is supporters must have a two-thirds majority to allow passage.  The [...]

Unless you are a member of a church who bases its beliefs on Black liberation theology, your religious beliefs DO NOT jive with Barack Obama’s version of socialism.  Whether you are an Angelic, Baptist, Methodist, or Catholic — even if you think Joseph Smith was pulling visions out of his stovepipe hat, religious liberty is [...]

The recent Supreme Court ruling on the constitutionality of Obamacare further illustrates the importance of the November 2012 presidential election.  Though demonized through mainstream media as domestic terrorists, racist, and backwards libertarians, the Tea Party seems to have some common sense approaches that everyone should be able to accept.  The Tea Party is not necessarily connected to the [...]
