Demonstrators Angry at Cost of Not Being Free

November 15, 2016 by Bob Prokop Leave a Comment

Take a moment to ponder the hypocrisy of the angry demonstrators who think they lost something big last week. The Constitution and our free society honor their right to protest. They have the freedom to voice dissatisfaction after losing a completely legitimate election. What doesn’t make sense is why they would use this freedom to demand reforms that will make them slaves to … [Read more...] about Demonstrators Angry at Cost of Not Being Free

This week The Hill reported that we have proof of a coordinated effort by … [Read more...] about Americans Attacked Because of Who We Pick for President

There is one absolute worst reason to vote for Trump. Ironically, it is also the best reason to support his candidacy: you are being told not to. As an American, being told not to vote for someone should make you really, really angry. Everyone has turned on Trump. Democrats hate him. We expect that. Republicans fear and dislike him.

National Leaders Take Away Our Respect

Bill Clinton. Do national leaders deserve respect? Christopher Mardorf /FEMA

It’s embarrassing to think about the shoddy roster of national leaders who will grace Cleveland and Philadelphia this summer. Some of them will eventually make their way to Washington as Cabinet members, advisors, and sycophants for a new administration. Some are already entrenched. One will become the president. In the process we may forget that something very important was … [Read more...] about National Leaders Take Away Our Respect
