Gingrich’s comments were labeled as anti-Capitalist and even compared to policies of Democrats and President Obama. It was argued...

Dead People Voting is a Good Reason for Voter ID Laws

A friend sent me this video. I watched it, horrified at the potential for Voter Fraud and justified in my support for Voter ID. I am aware each deceased voter died recently.

Corrupt men exploit vulnerabilities. They find them regularly. We must...

Enough is Enough! It’s Time for States to Start Pushing Back.

President Barack Obama incorrectly, improperly and unconstitutionally used the power of recess appointments to install Richard Cordray as the head of the newly created Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) along with three new members to the National Labor Relations Board.

Merry Christmas Message from the Muse

Despite a cultural bias that would say otherwise, the traditions and celebrations that have coalesced around the observance of the birth of Christ are not universal. While the Scriptures promise a day when the entire world will have heard that Jesus is Lord, that day has not yet arrived....
