I recently had the opportunity to interview 2012 GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain​.  Here’s what he had to say about Social Security, his plan to revive the economy, ObamaCare, energy independence, and more. You’re not a conventional politician.  You’re a businessman.  Do you think a candidate needs to have political experience to inspire confidence, or [...]

Sarah Palin hit the stage in Indianola, Iowa this afternoon to keynote the Tea Party of America’s “Restoring America” rally. And she certainly pulled no punches. Palin took on President Obama’s failed policies and proclivity toward crony capitalism, stood firm in her support for tea party principles and rekindled the 2008 RNC speech she gave [...]

Many in the mainstream media have been busy! It must be tough spending hour after hour trying to amp up supposed rivalries between GOP candidates. Plus, rereading Sarah Palin’s emails with a magnifying glass can get awfully taxing on the eyes. As always, what have remained untouched by the vast majority of “objective” reporters are [...]

There has been quite a bit of talk about whether the killing of Osama bin Laden will increase President Obama’s chances of winning the 2012 election. A New York Times/CBS News poll this week revealed that “57 percent said they now approved of the president’s job performance, up from 46 percent last month.” However, The [...]

Many aspects of President Obama’s policies and approach give me indigestion. His reckless spending, economically destructive and unconstitutional Obamacare, deceit with respect to Paul Ryan’s “Path to Prosperity,” perpetual arrogance, and love affair with an EPA that repeatedly jeopardizes our ability to become energy independent, are just a few examples. However, there’s one facet of [...]

It’s that time of the year again—chocolate hearts, flowers, mushy cards, and romantic dinners are the talk of the town.  That’s right, Valentine’s Day is just around the corner.  And rather than write you a love letter—I’m really more of a boot camp/horror film kind of girl—I’ve decided to offer some advice on how to [...]

I remember working on a history project at a local library in high school.  In the midst of photocopying, my best friend and I overheard a woman passionately whispering to a friend about the dangers of government overreach.  When she noticed us staring, she smiled and said, “You’ll see.  If we don’t get this under [...]

I had a blast watching the State of the Union address, but that’s only because I spent most of it dancing around my apartment to the tune of “Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies.” The speech was no different from nearly every other oratorical endeavor by our Campaigner-in-Chief. It was a bundle of [...]

Would you ever consider working for a political candidate? – Joseph M. Yes, but only for someone I’d trust. In the world of politics, that’s quite difficult to come by. What do you expect from Obama’s SOTU address? – Kristine L. Lots of talk of bipartisanship (after cramming a health care law we didn’t want [...]

It’s almost 2011. In some ways, the “hope,” “change,” and “yes we can” shenanigans of the 2008 presidential election seem like they were born just yesterday. But the actions of a President who has added more to our national debt than George Washington through Ronald Reagan combined have been in progress for far too long. [...]
