David Ratowitz is presenting himself to voters as the business oriented, conservative candidate for their 5th District Congressional seat. Ratowitz says he represents “hard-fought professional achievement” and “personal resilience,” and says his “genuine free market outlook” makes him the perfect candidate for conservatives.

James Sherk has a very good post over at the Heritage Foundation’s The Foundry blog about how unions have hurt us all by fighting for tax increases.
Unions almost never go on strike anymore. Instead, they fight to get more for their members by lobbying for tax increases. Unions spent tens of millions [...]

You may remember Obama mentioning nuclear power plants during his snoozefest of a SOTU speech. For a change, he might actually be looking to get new ones built, so, if the following is true, kudos, Mr. President! Obama moves quickly to promote nuclear power

A wise politician knows when they’re reaching too far. They know when it’s time to draw the line. In Obama’s presidency, that wisdom is completely non-existent. Show him a problem, and he’ll get the government involved. It doesn’t matter how much is on his plate or how annoyed Americans are about [...]

That’s what the intellectual elite think of working class conservative voters. They think that voting Left is OBVIOUSLY in the best interests of the workers and cannot understand that the base of support for the GOP is mainly among the less affluent. They think that working class people are cutting their [...]

We’ve been through this Somali Humanitarian Refugee situation before, many times, and it did not turn out well for America. Nevertheless, we’re doing it again.
I was browsing at Refugee Resettlement Watch, and found an article about this new batch of Somali’s coming to America in September.
According to The New Vision, a [...]

Time Magazine is stunned!
There’s been a remarkable amount of coverage of President Obama’s appearance at the House Republican retreat today, but I haven’t seen anyone focus on the President’s rather stunning admission about the Democrats’ health care legislation (Video):
And what is Time Magazine stunned about? This is what Obama remarked

As Allah says, this is only step one…step two is to get rid of the ridiculous civilian trials for terrorists completely.
“New York is out,” one administration official told the Post, speaking on the condition of anonymity because the decision had not yet been officially announced. “We’re considering other options.”

President Obama spent 1 hour and 10 minutes on the State of the Union. I understand that is the longest State of the Union our Union has ever endured.
He failed to mention the fact that our US Marines finished their mission and left Iraq last week. A colossal and unforgivable omission.
