Over the past two weeks there have been protests and violence in St. Louis, demonstrations after the death of a black woman at a local hotel,1 Republicans getting the word out on tax reform, and Nancy Pelosi being shouted down by pro-DACA agitators in San Francisco. What do these things have in common? They are all about inequity. They wouldn’t exist in a nation where we truly … [Read more...] about Equal Means Not Special in a Nation That Rewards Inequity
American Values
The American Ideals and Values category includes posts on freedom and liberty, equality and rights, the battle between liberals and conservatives and most important, what it means to be American.
The bulwarks of American greatness espoused by our Founding Fathers in the Declaration of Independence and Constitution have been replaced by ideals and values dictated by increasingly divisive, polarized politics.
The growing might of a America's radical left undermines, re-imagines, and destroys our fundamental beliefs about what is good, morally justifiable, and worth protecting at any cost, whether that means protecting the sovereignty of our borders, defending the First Amendment, affirming property rights violated by squatters, or saying no to thriving, pro-terror antisemitism on college campuses.
President Biden's weaponized justice, covert censorship, election manipulation, and autocratic executive orders reimagined our great nation and started us down the path to social, economic, and moral decline.
We no longer live in the America envisioned by our Founders. We have devolved into a vicious, valueless Banana Republic for the sake of delivering overwhelming power to one political party.
Evidence-Based Policymaking a Desperate Ploy by Ryan

Both sides do it and they aren’t very good at hiding it, whether the goal is creating a hate crime trend or rationalizing spending more money with … [Read more...] about Evidence-Based Policymaking a Desperate Ploy by Ryan
Erase History for Alt Left, Preserve it For America’s Sake
The destruction of two Trump Business Advisory Councils* because members took offense after Charlottesville isn’t much of a tragedy. Corporate America is more than a little guilty of hypocrisy when it beats us over the head with its dedication to diversity, fairness, and tolerance. You usually don’t have to go out of your way to convince people what you really are. The problem … [Read more...] about Erase History for Alt Left, Preserve it For America’s Sake
Celebrate July 4th If You Answer These Questions Correctly
Do you still have a right to celebrate July 4th? The nation is up in arms because many of us are going along for the left's angry ride instead of questioning what we are told we have to believe to be good Americans. When we do that we give up our freedom. Democratic propaganda vendors are hard at work. Ask yourself: can a free society accept that it’s fair for celebrities to … [Read more...] about Celebrate July 4th If You Answer These Questions Correctly
Work Requirement: Foreign Workers vs. Welfare State Americans
President Trump’s newly-announced plan to ban immigrants from receiving welfare for five years was an easy promise to make. Newly-arrived noncitizens don't qualify for most federal benefits and they aren’t the ones who cause us the most grief when it comes to being dependent on the government. Dependence is an issue for Americans who don’t work, so why are we telling them that … [Read more...] about Work Requirement: Foreign Workers vs. Welfare State Americans
