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.

Despite poll numbers that show the laughably low regard we have for what politicians say and do, threatening our country is business as usual in Washington. Does our distrust of our elected representatives threaten American democracy? Hardly. It protects the republic. It keeps us on guard. Something a … [Read more...] about Threat to Democracy is Just a Con Job

Ethics Rules: Term Limits Will Never Be Enough
Term limits are back, or at least they are in Illinois. A petition to help fix Illinois from Turnaround Illinois is trying to stir public interest in an ethics issue that plagues the state, Capitol Hill, and almost everywhere politicians refuse to hop off the public service gravy train. This doesn’t mean term limits will be passed in Illinois any more than we will limit … [Read more...] about Ethics Rules: Term Limits Will Never Be Enough
