In the beginning, the American created the super market and the small business. And the stores were without form, and void, and darkness lay upon the faces of the deep, and the spirit of the American hovered over the cities and the American said “Let there be Thanksgiving,” and there was Thanksgiving. And the American saw that the Thanksgiving was good. And the American separated Thanksgiving from the Friday. The American called Thursday Thanksg…
…d draw broad distinctions between Republican and Democratic Party visions of America. When given a clear choice between a hopeful Conservative and a malaiseful Liberal, voters chose the candidate and the program that promised American resurgence. After Reagan, the GOP defaulted, as it often does, to the “next guy in line,” Vice President George H. W. Bush. While this seemed on the superficial level to offer continuity, it was actually an ideologi…
…ty, he simply stated, “No politics tonight.” What is the Kennedy Center Honors? Simply put, the Kennedy Center Honors is an annual honor given to those in the performing arts for their lifetime of contributions to American culture. Presented in Washington, D.C. each year since 1978, it is a weekend-long event which culminate in a performance for the Honorees at the Kennedy Center Opera House.

…bad. If he doesn’t, we are going to have a long two years until we can get control of Congress back. This little essay is to hopefully engineer what the Republican Party must do to get back into the mainstream thinking of the American people. We must create a plan and vision that will win back the faith of the citizens and thereby, get us back to a majority position in Congress, key state legislatures and the state executive mansions. If these id…
…ring his administration. He was the first and hopefully the last tax and spend Republican. As I have written here before, I believe that Bush’s foreign policy will be looked at much differently in the future. I truly feel the American public will grow to respect his foreign policy decisions and realize that he reacted in the proper manner after the 9/11 attacks. Remember, America was attacked for only the second time by a foreign power in its his…
Protestors opposed to the Keystone XL Pipeline are claiming victory now that Pres. Obama has decided not to decide. As I’ve often written, it’s wonderfully entertaining when liberal utopian schemes collide. The latest is the union dream of a privately funded $7 billion infrastructure project providing 5,000 – 6,000 good paying jobs and abundant, affordable energy powering American industry, interfering with the fringe environmental activist goal…
“It’s one of the great Bernie Madoff gimmicks that I’ve ever seen, that anybody’s ever seen.” said Senator John McCain on ABC’s “Good Morning America”. He was referring to the way Democrats were able to pass the Healthcare Bill. McCain continued, “This was behind closed doors. The Republicans were never brought in to the negotiations and this is what you get — a split country — where the American …
Written by Jim Babka, DownsizeDC How the New Indefinite Detention Provisions can be used on Americans Congress just passed, and the President just signed, a bill that gives legal authority to the President to kidnap and perpetually imprison persons, including American citizens, without the benefit of due process. Members of Congress, in the days leading up to the vote, tried to assure their constituents that they have nothing to fear — that the …
…t to be in the United States, whether they be Hispanic, Eastern European or Asian. I am the grandchild of immigrants. My grandparents came through Ellis Island at the turn of the last century. They followed the law and became American in the proper manner. They did not hold onto the Old Country. In fact, my parents barely spoke any Italian at all. They were told to become American. They were no longer Italian. Arizona is dealing with a problem th…
…ential bankruptcies. As stated in my prior article, the unions would suffer the most if the Big 3 were forced to file for Chapter 11 protection. And, right now, the unions are really scared. The UAW is the main the reason why American automakers have a higher per vehicle cost than other car makers. In fact, did you know that laid off autoworkers get 95% of their salary as part of the union contract? How can we compete with garbage like this as pa…
