Evidently, Biden has a history of trying to limit the 2nd Amendment in his Senate career. We started off, of course, with the gun control crowd, including some who have been affected by gun violence. When he spoke about Obama's power grab, I think it was concerning tightening background checks and high power ammo clips.…

Republicans were hung out to dry but I see no other realistic outcome. Those hand-wringing that the leadership "caved" disappoint me. Do we not save as many people and the country if possible? It will be a rude awakening, though, to those Obama supporters who think it is right to overburden the "rich" when they…

The embarrassing media moments seem to happen regularly, especially during 2012, as most of those in the media were so heavily invested in the re-election of Barack Obama. One moment stands out as a prime example: Peter Hamby of CNN tweeted out the campaign contribution page info from Team Obama on Twitter. That was rather…

I think our current military leadership is a mixed bag. Where once we assumed that our military leaders were doing the work of keeping us safe at home by following orders from the Commander-in-Chief and being good soldiers, now we have an increasing political element creeping into the narrative. I think the resignation of General…

I am disgusted that John Kerry would be awarded the position of Secretary of State. This is like the final spitting upon Vietnam veterans. I am married to a Vietnam veteran and he is incensed about this choice. Vietnam issues aside, Kerry has been consistently wrong on his foreign policy decisions, though like Biden, he…

Just as I strongly disagreed with his Nobel Peace Prize, I think a better choice could have been made for Person of the Year. Many would certainly be worthy but I think I would go with the young women in Afghanistan and Pakistan who are being murdered for simply trying to go to school. Recently…

I'm a fiscal conservative so I don't want any tax hikes. That said, the reality is that the GOP only controls the House. This president is determined to raise taxes on everyone so raising them on millionaires is better than everyone. We'll all see enough extra taxes once the mandates of Obamacare are fully implemented.…

The GOP must be able to effectively communicate to single women that we are the party of smaller, more efficient government. We are not the party of no government, nor are we the party that believes everyone must go it alone, as we have been characterized by the likes of Bill Clinton. We believe…
