Yesterday’s Colorado Springs Gazette had probably one of the best editorials written yet about the state of affairs in our nation.  The editorial board of the paper addresses the push by the Obama administration to take over every aspect of our lives and turning us into a nation of mediocrity where failure is rewarded and [...]

Few who look objectively at the debate about the new health care legislation could argue that it gives the government unprecedented power over the American people.  It represents a massive power grab that comes at the price of our freedom in many ways.
On Thursday, Investor’s Business Daily published a piece titled, “20 Ways ObamaCare Will [...]

Despite rumors to the contrary reported by the Denver Post, candidate for U.S. Senate Cleve Tidwell says he is in the race to stay.  “I am committed more than ever in my bid for the U.S. Senate seat in Colorado,” he said in a statement. 
Tidwell has been trailing the frontrunners in the race but he [...]

Certainly it has become painfully obvious that RTD sold the taxpayers a bill of goods in 2004 that they had absolutely no ability to fill.  The project gets deeper and deeper in red and mismanagement of the project is seen at every step.

The Census Bureau’s numbers put Adams County with a [...]

This isn’t the first time a politician broke a promise nor is it the first time Barack Obama broke this particular one.  It does however bear repeating:
When there is a bill that lands on my desk as president, you the public will have five days to look online to find out what is in it [...]

Never before in our nation’s history have we seen such a failure of our form of government as we witnessed yesterday with the passing of the health care legislation.  A measure which has soundly been rejected by the citizens of this nation has been rammed down those same citizens’ throats in defiance of the people’s [...]

I have already ranted on the unprecedented power grab by the federal government with its passing of the health care bill.  Of course there are thousands of news stories and opinions on the topic in recent days.  Here are a few I found interesting:

President Barack Obama finally sat down with FOX News for an interview today.  Bret Baier grilled the president hard on the shady deals in the health care bill, the ridiculous spending and mandates, and the dozens of other problems with the measure. 
As expected, the president couldn’t give a straight answer to most of the questions.  Despite [...]
