Did a Former Nancy Pelosi Aide Screw Up the Komen Decision? Ogilvy Public Relations Should Explain. February 4, 2012
Judd Legum at Think Progress did what appears to be a pre-emptive strike against former Bush White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer claiming that Fleisher was “secretly involved” in the Susan G. Komen Foundations’ strategy on planned parenthood. In fact, according to people I’ve spoken to who are aware of the decision making processes at Komen, Fleischer […]

Obama’s failed promises: Nevada edition February 4, 2012
The good folks at the RNC took a look at what candidate Obama promised in Nevada during the 2008 presidential campaign … and the record of failure that followed. The result reveals President Obama’s failure to live up to candidate Obama’s promises. In a new video the RNC reminds us of how Obama’s failed promises impact Nevada.

The U.S. Department of Transportation imposed new regulations on airlines Jan. 24 that were supposed to benefit consumers.

Some consumers might be […]

For Now, Government Still Lets You Pick Your Own Roommate February 4, 2012
The people of the United States ordained a Constitution of limited government. As time passes, the people have more of the “government” and less of the “limited.” Americans must work at maintaining their freedoms. Defense of the constitutional freedom of association involved in choosing roommates to share housing illustrates the effort required. Governme […]

Exit polls in Iowa showed that regardless of whom the Republican caucus voters were supporting, their motivation was to beat President Obama. Liberals understand this, and they have launched a “Voter ID” battle to counter the energized conservative voters in the 2012 election. It has become increasingly obvious that liberals are going to do whatever […]

Protecting the Party Rather than Protecting American Citizens January 3, 2012
Last week, several south Texas law enforcement officials protected the Democratic Party and the Obama Administration’s failed border security policies, rather than speak out to protect American citizens.
