Untitled Document I’ve been known to call it like I see it. I talk way too much about my Maltese. I adore handwritten letters. I watch horror movies and listen to music that makes my grandmother proud. I fantasize about winter cottages. I hate that dream where I’m running from something and I’m in slow motion. I believe in God. I eat lots of kale. I run, spin, lift weights, and like to climb things. Oh, and I LOVE my country.

Full Speed Ahead

on November 22nd, 2011

“The system is so broken and I don’t see anyone who I think will actually fix it,” a retired friend of the family said to me this past weekend. “I’m staying out of it this election season.” I have heard that sentiment expressed more times than I can count these past few months. Activists who [...]

GOP, what are you so afraid of?

on May 23rd, 2011

I spend quite a bit of time calling out some on the left. I detest big-government policies that simultaneously snatch our liberty and rob us blind. I find class warfare to be profoundly un-American. I have no patience for leftists who demand civility while spewing hateful rhetoric, or those who insist that feminism, diversity, and [...]

Q & A with Jedediah: April 2011 Edition

on April 28th, 2011

With all of the infighting in the Republican Party, how can a non-political junkie decide who the right candidate is? If I were Obama, I would keep my mouth shut and let the other side self-destruct. Why can’t they just concentrate on Obama’s record and stand together? – Ben While I agree that some political [...]

Kicking Class Warfare to the Curb

on April 27th, 2011

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 [...]

Sarah Palin Rocks Madison

on April 17th, 2011

She was feisty. She was bold. And she was gutsy. At a Tea Party rally in Madison, Wis., on Saturday, Sarah Palin pulled no punches. The former Alaska governor and 2008 vice-presidential candidate credited the Tea Party with winning “an electoral victory of historic proportions last November.” She praised Scott Walker’s efforts toward fiscal discipline. [...]

My Statement on President Obama’s 4/13 Address

on April 14th, 2011

Yes, folks, I watched President Obama’s speech yesterday. Of course, I first cued up Fleetwood Mac’s “Little Lies.” I also entertained Emma with a creative interpretive dance, but I digress. I tweeted the speech live. Here is a sample of my comments during and shortly after the presidential address: President Obama’s class warfare rhetoric is [...]

My statement on the budget deal: No more pale pastels

on April 10th, 2011

The United States is over $14 trillion in debt. The AP reported in March that, “The federal government’s budget deficit grew by $222.5 billion in February, the largest one-month increase in history. Economists are forecasting the deficit for the year will be the biggest imbalance on record.” So, am I popping the cork on the [...]

New Year’s Resolutions For The 112th Congress

on December 30th, 2010

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. [...]

on September 14th, 2010

What’s your take on the Senate races overall? – Ronald; Florida I’m looking forward to solid conservative victories. We need more leaders like Alaska’s Joe Miller and Florida’s Marco Rubio. —>CONTINUE READING HERE

Challenging the GOP Establishment

on September 8th, 2010

What do Marco Rubio, Sarah Palin, and Joe Miller have in common? One:  They’re principled conservatives. Two: They aren’t part of Washington’s business-as-usual machine. And three: They – and many like them – have caused quite a few in the GOP establishment to shake in their boots. The National Republican Senatorial Committee has backed RINOs [...]
