John McCain is a war hero. A genuine war hero. He served his country with honor and went above and beyond the call. He should be admired for his military service. He was simply incredible and has more intestinal fortitude than I will ever have. That does not mean he is right on every political…

An open letter to @GlennBeck
Dear Glenn, You are disappointed in Ted Cruz. You apologized to your audience for believing in Mr. Cruz. You say he let you down is because he turned out to be just another politician. I cannot figure out why you thought he was anything other than a politician. Politicians are all the same in…

Raising the minimum wage would be counter productive
If you watched the State of the Union Address tonight, you heard President Obama suggest that we should raise the minimum wage to $9 per hour. His argument is that anyone who work a full time job should not live in poverty. I’m sure he feels that it is a “right” for anyone who works…
The government should put taxes on sale!
There is so much talk these days about raising taxes. Everyone wants to believe that all we need to do is raise taxes on rich people because they’re not “paying their fair share.” Rubbish. The rich already pay the highest rate, and largest share. We can argue that until the cows come home but that…
Gingrich and Santorum, it’s all about them
Mitt Romney has won the most delegates so far, but has yet to secure the nomination of his party. The conservative vote is split between Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich. If Santorum and Gingrich combined their vote totals in each election, they would easily win over Mitt Romney. Given the fact that the Republican Convention…
Politicians are full of themselves
All politicians say the same things don’t they? “I’ve always put the people first,” or “I’ll look out for your interests and fight the special interests.” You can go back decades and look at almost any political race and the conversation is the same. The truth is that politicians are simply out for themselves. It’s…

Jack Kemp – What a Good Guy
Jack Kemp was such a great guy that it’s hard to find anyone who didn’t like him. You can find people who argued with him, but everyone liked Jack Kemp. He was just a nice guy. I didn’t know Mr. Kemp, but I did share an elevator with him once in Orlando. He was speaking…
Arlen Specter should retire
Arlen Specter’s defection to the Democratic Party is troubling because he is only looking out for himself. Doesn’t anyone care that our politicians only care about themselves, and not the people they represent? Mr. Specter is 79 years old and has been in the senate a very long time. Why not just retire? I was…

Obama agrees with Bush after blasting him in the campaign
What can I say, Obama is just like every other politician. He’s full of it. After blasting President Bush and accusing him of “undermined the Constitution,” President Obama now realizes that President Bush was correct in keeping the secrets around the Terrorist Surveillance program and is fighting the same lawsuit that President Bush fought. What…
