One of my favorite movies is the 1993 flick “Dave” in which a virtual nobody fills in for the President of the United States.  One scene in the movie puts on display the stupidity of some government spending and now the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) shows how real life can mirror Hollywood.  [...]

Two amendments on Colorado voters’ ballots in 2010 will garner a great deal of attention due to their conservative roots.  The so-called ‘personhood’ amendment once again brings to the forefront the ongoing debate about abortion.  Amendment 63 seeks to make a very important assertion of states’ rights under the U.S. Constitution. Amendment 62  – Application [...]

The disillusionment with the “hope and change” brought to the nation two years continues to grow.  According to a new poll, voters trust Republicans more than Democrats on the top 10 issues of the day from education and the economy to ethics and taxes.

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 [...]

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 [...]

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:
