Posted on April 08 2013 - 9:00 AM | By: Whitney Pitcher
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.

Lessons To Learn From Marc Lamont Hill’s Chance Meeting With Gov. Palin
Posted on April 06 2013 - 7:37 PM | By: Firelight
Intelligent disagreement is good and even a little playful smack down but constant insults and harassment on Twitter and Facebook is not. The same can be said of treating someone with respect and kindness and agreeing to disagree in an adult manner… It is time to decide if we are here to help or hear for retribution… I think Gov. Palin is the perfect example…

Green Energy: Learning from Recent European History to Re-Embrace Our American Philosophy
Posted on February 20 2013 - 10:00 AM | By: Whitney Pitcher
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 February 17 2013 - 6:36 PM | By: Whitney Pitcher
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.

Why is the Illinois GOP Honoring an Obama Crony?
Posted on February 05 2013 - 7:55 PM | By: Whitney Pitcher
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 January 29 2013 - 10:00 AM | By: Whitney Pitcher
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.

The Fiscal Cliff–Compromising Our Founding Principles and Holding Hostage Our Future
Posted on December 03 2012 - 9:30 AM | By: Whitney Pitcher
The actual compromise is not a potential one between Republicans and Democrats, but the compromise that decades and decades of politicians of both parties have made with our Founding principles. Those who are held hostage are not solely the constituents of the present, but also future generations who will have to pay for the fiscal failures of the past and the present.
