Did patriotism get a bad name, or have we had it so good for so long that we forgot what made America a superpower and world leader? We need to remember. Disloyalty to what made this country great is being cultivated by elected opportunists who decided that the principles this country was founded on are flawed.

Which of these outrages is less believable, that immigrants with no work permit or green card are guaranteed the minimum wage, or that our elected representatives are pushing for a pay increase because they failed to deliver amnesty?

Rallying the troops before campaign season in support of collectivism and class warfare, Barack Obama spoke to the DNC last Friday about opportunity:
It’s what this country was built on. And it is the idea that this party is built on.1
Opportunity is not what we get when a politician trained in Illinois hits the big time. Obama’s collectivism targets groups that vote for Democrats and drains the economy while real economic growth flounders. So where does opportunity enter the picture?

If you expect the government to protect you from cyber crimes, you better stop reading this. Go cut up your credit cards. You have no business using them.

Washington has been using the escalation of cyber crimes and computer security problems to threaten us with everything from bad credit to death and destruction (see: The Real Cyber Threat Is From Politicians and Bureaucrats).

Helping the poor would be a good thing if we could do it right. Demands to do it wrong makes helping the poor the most dangerous political issue of this election year. It will hurt us not because we are afraid to take a stand against throwing money at poverty, but because we won’t voice outrage at an agenda determined to use the bottom to control the top. Pandering to poverty keeps public officials in power and for some that makes it a good thing (see: A Recovering Economy Could Be Bad for Democrats).

The rule of law has worked its way into the headlines again after the president’s excuse last week that there was only so much he could do on his own to stop deportations. He has already done more than enough with deferred action’s amnesty (see: Visa Overstays and DACA Applicants Get Lucky). Despite his ignoring of one of our country’s fundamental values, extremist Democrats still won’t see things his way.
