Thad Altman Introduces Legislation Pushing HPV Vaccine

By Tom Tillison

Either state Senator Thad Altman is completely out of touch with conservative values or he just believes that government really does knows best what’s good for you.

Yes, the very same vaccine that GOP presidential candidate Rick Perry came under fire for a few weeks back for being a good example of government overreach in healthcare decisions.

Justice Ginsburg Violates Her Oath

Justice Ginsburg Violates Her Oath

By KrisAnne Hall

Yet another point that Mrs. Ginsberg might be wise to share with Egypt instead of encouraging them to strive “to achieve a general democracy…”

The dichotomy of her praise and criticism of our founders and our Constitution shows that she is greatly misinformed of both…

And just as in 2008, Florida will be the impetus that thrusts this better wrapped version identified as Mitt Romney one step closer to an eventual match up with Barack Obama.

Clouds On A Sunny Day

By Allen Wilson

I remember the instant that the mood changed.

As my lens focused beyond the Washington Monument and upon the Capital Dome I recognized that I no longer felt proud of this city. I was embarrassed that under that dome sat men and women who first thought of themselves before they thought of their nation.
