The Day After

June 16th, 2010

By Larry Ennis I intended to write something yesterday before the President made his Oval Office pitch.

Obama: Man vs. President

September 4th, 2009

Its a shame really but he did get himself into this “politically charged” situation with all of his flim-flam tactics on healthcare and his ‘economy-destroying-in-the-name-of-Green’ Cap and Trade proposal.

The Cap-and-Trade Tax

March 7th, 2009

Democrats continue to dither over secondary issues while the economy goes from bad to worse and Americans suffer. Peggy Noonan, in a column about an honest, forthright Marine Corps investigation of an aircraft accident, contrasts that with the behavior of politicians in Washington: The White House this week was consumed by extreme interest in a celebrated […]
