Why I reject a party label
Over the course of the last 10 years or so, we have had Presidents from both major parties in office. The result has been disastrous spending. We are now asking ourselves, “Will our children be better off than we are?”. For a long time the answer was yes but now I can’t say with certainty [...]
Can you hear us now Obama?
Scott Brown 52% 1,168,107 Votes Martha Coakley 47% 1,058,682 votes That is over a 109,000 vote difference between the 2 in Democrat Blue Massachusetts!

Kennedy has always been an active part. Last night the Senator from Massachusetts lost his brave and public battle with terminal [...]

Reagan: A Time for Choosing (The Speech)
This is the video that put President Reagan on the national map back in 1964. Funny how a lot of what he speaks about, still applies today.
The devalued Prime Minister of a devalued Government
This is really making the rounds today. Daniel Hannan is spot on here and quite frankly we need some folks like him in Congress on this side of the pond.
Points of contention on health care reform
