The GOP Nomination is a VERY big deal in this country at this time. While all the talking heads have given Mitt Romney the title already, we have to make sure we are nominating the right guy! If we need a reminder, just have a look in the White House. These two are scarily similar. [...]

The Editors — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 09:00:32 +0000

After Rudy Giuliani, my old boss, dropped out of the 2008 GOP presidential sweepstakes, I supported Mitt Romney. That was not a difficult choice for me. The former Massachusetts governor is a good man and he loves the country as is. That I wish he were...[...]

Romney’s Authenticity Problem

The Editors — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 05:00:59 +0000

Mitt Romney is the most improbable of presidential candidates: a weak juggernaut. He is poised to sweep every primary contest — a first for a non-incumbent. And yet, in Republican ranks there’s an abiding sense that he should be beatable[...]

VIDEO: The Reality of America’s National Debt

Josh Shepherd — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 19:24:09 +0000

America’s total debt now tops $15.2 trillion—the size of the entire economy. While this is a real concern, the greater problem is the growth of spending and debt in the future. Spending on entitlements is the real driver of future debt. In this clip from the documentary film “I Want Your Money,” Heritage expert Alison Fraser reveals why the national debt is a catastrophic crisis, stating: “We’re right on the cusp of 77 million baby boomers retiring into these entitlement programs, and that is absolutely unsustainable.” [...]
