Finding a Real Solution to Government Gone Wild
Should bad behavior be rewarded in hopes of reform? Or should it be punished? Parents would have a pretty good answer to this, but the federal government apparently doesn’t.

What If Obamacare Subsidies Disappear?
Does the Affordable Care Act really mean what it says? The Supreme Court will be answering that question in King v. Burwell in the coming months.

The Real ‘Dirty Dozen’ at the IRS
The IRS just released its “dirty dozen” list of tax scams and schemes for the American people to avoid.

Government Overreach Strikes Again: The FEC Recommends Cracking Down On Bloggers

The words of his inaugural address are full of timeless truth… and perhaps are even more powerful today […]
A Nation United: History Is Being Made
It is so often said that the nation is “divided,” or “polarized.” The pundits and politicians tell us the fight is between the left and the right, conservatives and liberals or Democrats and Republicans. They are very wrong. The nation is indeed divided, but the divisions are not really the ones they want you to […]
Obama’s Affordable Internet Plan
After settling healthcare and fixing the immigration system, defeating racism and single-handedly stopping global warming, the President has now turned to improving the internet. This is not a joke. In preparation for the State of the Union address next week, Obama has been making “preview” announcements about issues he plans to address. “Since I’ve only […]
