We like to think that the GOP and conservatives are one, but there is a lot of ground between some of the Republican hypocrites calling the shots and the conservative voters they rely on. Eric Cantor just found out what happens when you step over the line. Was the majority leader a hypocrite? That was an issue for Virginia to decide. The larger question is how many voters … [Read more...] about Republican Hypocrites Include Conservative Voters?
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of American greatness espoused by our Founding Fathers in the Declaration of Independence and Constitution have been replaced by ideals and values dictated by increasingly divisive, polarized politics.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.

Pandering to poverty … [Read more...] about Helping the Poor: the Political Issue That Will Hurt You
Does Class Warfare Make Corruption Okay?
It hit me while I watched the FBI agent with the perpetual five o’clock shadow riding home on the subway, elbow to elbow with other bedraggled working class commuters. Having endured several hours of The Wolf of Wall Street’s antihero drinking, drugging, and womanizing his way through untold millions of ill-gotten gain only to run afoul of this stalwart, middle class government … [Read more...] about Does Class Warfare Make Corruption Okay?
Both Parties Agree: Veterans Are Useful Political Tools
Veterans are an inconvenience for our government. When they have done their duty they don’t go away. Supportive programs and benefits have to be funded and administered, something Washington has trouble with. This is good for both of our political parties. They know opportunity when they see it. It is not good for America's heroes. Bipartisan agreement: veterans are political … [Read more...] about Both Parties Agree: Veterans Are Useful Political Tools
