I had no intention of endorsing a candidate until we had one conservative alternative to Mitt Romney, but I felt compelled to back Rick Santorum after the events of the last couple of weeks unfolded. In particular, the Obama administration demanding the Catholic Church’s many charities and hospitals provide access to abortions and contraceptives for its employees and patients was a screaming red flag that Obama needs to be a one term President. I knew he was a liberal when I voted for him... Read Full Story

… and for the same reason John McCain lost the 2008 presidential election the moment he secured the nomination. Look at the exit polls and see what the number one reason is that a Republican primary voter or caucus goer votes for Mitt Romney. The answer: Can Defeat Barack Obama. Why do they say he can defeat Barack Obama? Well, the media never asks that question in their exit polls; but I think we can safely conclude it has something to do with his massive amounts of money. There is... Read Full Story

This is the first of a series of posts I’m going to write about the topic of privatization. Nobody is going to like what I have to write. I’ll be accused of betraying the Republican Party, conservative principles, and everything else under the sun. Perhaps somebody along the way will skip the name calling and convince me I’m wrong about the conclusions I’m reaching. It’s happened quite a few times before, as it should happen to any open minded individual interested more in truth than politics... Read Full Story

Last year in March, I put myself out there and shaved my head to raise money for a really awesome charity: The St. Baldrick’s Foundation. If you weren’t following me then, or if you just need a reminder; St. Baldrick’s Foundation is devoted to finding a cure for Childhood Cancers and helping the thousands of children who are currently inflicted with cancer. Thanks to your incredible support and donations in 2011, I managed to raise $500 in less than a month. My biggest regret wasn’t the... Read Full Story

Here in the United States, we are all familiar with the phrase that “all men are created equal.” Thomas Jefferson first used the phrase in our Declaration of Independence and it’s been repeated countless times and across the world. Unfortunately, it seems like few people actually think about the implications this would have for global policy making. Not surprisingly, the blind fools following Ron Paul; who evoke the Founders at every turn as though they just had lunch with them; are the most... Read Full Story

Last night’s Republican Presidential debate in South Carolina was kind of low key, as we discussed . However, I think it may have been one of the most important of the entire primary season. Up until now, conservative Republicans have wanted to know who their alternative to Mitt Romney was. It was very hard for a while because there were so many choices. Pawlenty, Cain , Bachmann, and Perry have all dropped out of the race; and people (I hope) are finally convinced that Mike Huckabee, Sarah... Read Full Story

I never would have voted for Rick Perry in the first place, but that’s besides the point. I said the other day that whoever loves their country the most will be the one who drops out of the race first and endorses another conservative BEFORE South Carolina (justifying it with a King Solomon’s Judgment analogy). But then I forgot to publish that post… Oops. Rick Perry endorsed Newt Gingrich, who is currently leading in recent South Carolina polls (polls taken almost on the eve of his 2nd ex...

On January 24th, Congress will be voting on two very controversial bills, SOPA and PIPA. Well, perhaps “controversial” isn’t the right word. You see, there aren’t that many people who are actually in favor of this legislation. The exceptions are in the music industry; which has funded this entire effort. The coalition that opposes this legislation is as diverse as the global population. The goal of the legislation is to give the executive branch the power to shut down all Internet sites...

Word broke last night that the Huntsman family decided to throw in the towel. The campaign; which brought in less than 20% of the vote in New Hampshire; has reportedly run out of money and can’t buy basic television or radio ads in South Carolina. To be honest, I’m surprised they went to South Carolina at all. After spending all of your time in a state, earning the majority of your votes from non-Republicans because of your moderate-to-progressive policies, and coming in behind a lunatic... Read Full Story
