WHAT IF?

America is hurting, and most of that hurt is directly caused by actions taken by our own government. Their goal was admirable, I am sure, but the results have been anything but admirable. I believe our citizenship, that part that pays attention to politics and current events, knows things are wildly out of control, [...]

A WORLD WITHOUT RULERS

What is it that Americans REALLY want? Do we want strength in our leadership or do we want pampering? Do we see a big government as a strong government, or do we see a big government weakened by its size? Do we want quality health care for those who can afford it or do [...]

Many people disagree with Ayn Rand’s objectivist philosophy, especially when it comes to the issue of morality. How can there be only one true moral code, when people have such [...]

I received this in an email and found some food for thought. I think others may too.

The numbers I checked out are okay except I can’t verify the $1 Billion to run the program. I suspect that is way off base. There was an article that said [...]

President Obama on January 29,2009 signed into law the Lilly Ledbetter Bill and made remarks that included “…..it’s bad for business to pay somebody less because of their gender or their age or their race or their ethnicity, religion or disability; and that justice isn’t about some abstract legal theory, or footnote in a [...]
