By Alan Caruba While the debate rages about the White House policy regarding conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, a very real war is being waged here in America…by President Obama and his appointees.

There are continuing propagandized reports that the majority of seniors appose healthcare reform. Well sir, I am a senior and I’ve yet to speak to another – and I know many – who are against healthcare reform. The truth, we see right though... Read Full Story

Captive Voters

By Alan Caruba Americans are beginning to learn what it is like to be governed by a Congress that doesn’t care what they think or want.
