President Obama isn’t that Liberal
Contrary to popular belief (read: Fox News), President Obama isn’t all that liberal. In fact, he’s most aligned with former Senator, and great man, Tom Daschle. Why does President Obama seem so liberal? Well, to those that think, he doesn’t. But, to others, he seems so liberal because the right wing has become so radically… Continue reading
I Escaped the Middle Class!
Finally! I mean, my paycheck is less than it was last month so, obviously, I must have moved up the ladder since President Obama promised middle class taxes wouldn’t go up.

When will it be Enough?
I debated with myself about whether to discuss guns and shootings in this country. I wrote something unrelated but have decided to push that piece off to Wednesday and address what appears to be an epidemic of mass murdering in this country; something unique to the United States. Are we free? Yes. And, we should… Continue reading

Last week, John Ransom of Townhall discussed the four reasons why a liberal should vote for Governor Romney. I’d like to take a look at reason number one. “Romney has successful executive experience that Obama lacks. One of the most legitimate complaints regarding Obama is that he doesn’t know how to make decisions or even… Continue reading
Does Anyone Care About Newspaper Endorsements?
There may have been a time in history when newspaper endorsements mattered. Maybe because news travelled slowly and people relied on a trusted source. Maybe newspaper endorsements were more useful in a time when newspapers were more partisan. This world we live in now has 24 hour news channels and the internet. So, you know,… Continue reading
The Second Presidential Debate
“What Governor Romney said just isn’t true.” Finally! The President came out in the second debate in much better form than the first. The President was more engaged and more assertive. Governor Romney was also engaging but it was the President who had a hill to climb because of his lackluster performance in the first… Continue reading
