The Bill of Rights

July 26, 2012 in Bill of Rights, Constitution, Faith of the Founders, First Amendment, Obama, Obama's radicalization of the American presidency, Obamacare

Introduction The Bill of Rights comprises the first ten amendments to the Constitution and are considered sacrosanct, inalienable rights bestowed upon us by God. During his term, Mr. Obama has taken certain liberties either through executive order, the use of an Executive Branch Agency or by treaty and thus has threatened these most precious of rights, in particular the Frist involving freedom of religion through Health and Human Services to force the Catholic Church to… Continue reading …

Glenn Beck bites hand that feeds him

December 15, 2011 in Editorials, Election, Political Pundits, Republican Party

Glenn Beck is almost as new to the political scene as is the TEA Party movement, and the relationship between the two has been as symbiotic as a honey bee and a flower. He promoted the movement on his Fox show and the TEA Party movement made him a rising star at Fox News. But for those of us who’ve been spinning about in political circles for awhile there has always been something about Beck… Continue reading …

Cain’s pains: lessons learned from a bungled campaign

November 10, 2011 in Articles

Herman Cain is a good and wise man, definitely presidential timber. But that timber has some widening cracks in it that could well snap apart and take him down, and that could well be due to campaign mismanagement. Politics is all about perception. In campaigns, rumors fly and are often taken as fact. Not a day goes by without my receiving at least one fallacious email. Right now Cain is being perceived more and more… Continue reading …

Disaster comes in many forms and a lack of preparedness could cost you your life. That’s what happened to way too many people in New… Continue reading …

Members of GOP House ask for special counsel to investigate Holder for Fast and Furious

October 4, 2011 in Congress, Editorials, Justice Department, Republican Party, The Government

This story came in a Breaking News email and was welcome indeed: “Fox News has learned that House Republicans have asked the White House to appoint a special counsel to determine whether Attorney General Eric Holder lied during testimony on Operation Fast and Furious.” This usually doesn’t happen unless a Congressional committee or investigator has something darn close to a smoking gun. Rep. Darryl Issa, chairman of the House Oversight Committee, and other committee chairmen… Continue reading …

United we stand, united we win; we must fight together

James H. Hyde, Editor-in-Chief

September 2, 2011 in Editorials, Republican Party, Unity

By James H. Hyde, Editor-in-Chief   Was it an indication of things to come? I really do hope not, but Jack Kimball, chairman of the New Hampshire GOP and strongly backed by the Tea Party in that state, has resigned. For some time now there have been some major disagreements that have held the GOP back, and Kimball’s fund-raising results have been abysmal. Wherever the is strife and division of purpose, clarity concedes to a… Continue reading …
