Peter Schweizer’s Report Details “Compassionate Corporatism”
Posted on 08 April 2013.
These programs, intended at least in word, to be a safety net for the poor, have actually become a hammock for large corporations. In essence, such programs are really “compassionate” corporatism.

Here’s to Liberty!: Governor Palin’s CPAC Prescription
Posted on 19 March 2013.
While the GOP issued a 2012 GOP “autopsy report” yesterday, Governor Palin played political apothecary on Saturday in her barn burner of a speech on Saturday at CPAC. Her prescription for the GOP and the conservative movement was not one of consultants, pandering, navel gazing, and restraint of principles, but a prescription of the grassroots, outreach,optimism, and liberty. If the [...]

President Obama’s anti-Keystone Cronies
Posted on 06 March 2013.
Last week the State Department released a report indicating the Keystone XL pipeline would have little impact on the environment and would create more than forty thousand jobs during construction.

Green Energy: Learning from Recent European History to Re-Embrace Our American Philosophy
Posted on 20 February 2013.
Margaret Thatcher once said that Europe was built on history and America was built on philosophy. She is right. Our leaders would do well to learn from Europe’s recent “green history” by eschewing the green socialism and corporatism of Europe and embracing again the pro market philosophy that founded this great nation.

My Name Is Whitney, and I Used to Be a Low Information Voter
Posted on 17 February 2013.
We don’t try to make a bigger tent by driving the stakes of the tent into swampy, unstable ground. That will only make the tent collapse, no matter how many people are inside. We make the tent bigger by making it attractive to enter, and for low information voters, this means that we meet them where they are politically and culturally.

Posted on 16 February 2013.
Following President Obama’s State of the Union address earlier this week, Senator Marco Rubio and Senator Rand Paul gave Republican and Tea Party rebuttals respectively.

Why is the Illinois GOP Honoring an Obama Crony?
Posted on 05 February 2013.
Sadly, it seems that this is only further proof that the already blurry line between Illinois Democrats and Illinois Republicans is becoming increasingly more blurry. We are governed by a single party–corruptocrats.

Posted on 29 January 2013.
President Obama’s immigration speech was 3,079 words and applause lines, meaning that President Obama’s speech cost the taxpayers just under $520 per word and applause.

When Reform Takes Precedence over Reputation
Posted on 29 January 2013.
Of course, Governor Palin isn’t the political equivalent of pogs or Shirley MaClaine, who has had more lives than most cats. Rumors of her political death are greatly exaggerated, which is just how she wants it.
