President Barack Obama signed the order Friday kicking in the cuts mandated by his sequestration plan.  While the cuts will hit areas best left alone, it is hard to feel sympathetic for a government that has long been spending outside its means. The blame game is of course in full swing in Washington DC but [...]

In a rare joint appearance Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan appeared before an audience of thousands at Red Rocks Amphitheater west of Denver last night.  The avenue and the cheering throngs of supporters gave the even the feel of a rock concert as the candidates carried forth their hopeful message. Kid Rock and Rodney Atkins [...]

Last night’s town hall debate between President Barack Obama and Governor Mitt Romney had more than its fair share of fireworks between the candidates.  As expected Obama won on style but lacked substance (as usual) while Romney held his own and offered a stunning repudiation of the past four years. Much ink will be spilled [...]

Taking a fragile economy and turning it into virtual ruin has taken President Barack Obama less than four years.  The evidence is far and wide but for most Americans, especially those in Colorado, we only have to look to our personal incomes to tell the tale.

I came [...]

The Democratic National Convention kicked off in Charlotte yesterday and I do have to give them credit – they didn’t hesitate to showcase their vision for the nation.  That look into their hearts shows a massive, crippling debt in a nation where God has no relevance, taxpayers fund all abortions and we ‘belong to the [...]

The timing could not be more appropriate as the U.S. Treasury announced today that the national debt had topped $16 trillion.  This comes as the Democratic National Convention kicks off in Charlotte where liberals will make the case to put our children and grandchildren even further in debt. To be exact, the debt at this [...]

Most people either loved or hated Clint Eastwood’s speech at the Republican National Convention but all would agree it was unique.  His discussion with an empty chair representing President Obama has now sparked an impromptu holiday: ‘National Empty Chair Day.’ The idea started on Twitter and Facebook and it has quickly gone viral spurred on [...]
