When Indianapolis City-County Councilor Jose Evans switched to the Republican Party early this week, it took the media by storm and apparently shocked Marion County Democrats. However, no one should take those shocked Democrats seriously. Why? Because “Establishment Democrats” only love you when you act according to their “sit down and shut up” policy. They [...]

Last week, a white paper was leaked to NBC News regarding the President’s alleged legal authority to order drone strikes to assassinate American citizens. Reason.com published an excellent follow-up analysis of why the justification is scary and should worry everyone who values our civil liberties. While I have been very critical of Barack Obama on [...]

When you are writing a news article, you should get both sides of the story. Ideally, you should get a statement from the primary person on both sides – especially a state senator who has proposed controversial legislation. Why is this so difficult for the Bloomington Herald-Times to understand? Or is it more likely that [...]

In its most recent fiscal report, Planned Parenthood of Indiana reported that they took in over $900,000 more than they spent. Yet the Monroe County Council decided that PP “deserves” $2,564 forcibly confiscated from Monroe County taxpayers. Since there is a limited amount of money to be distributed, legitimate local charities that do not have [...]

Without evidence of corruption or gross incompetence, the President should have the ability to appoint whoever they want for positions in their administration. The Senate may reserve the right to block a nominee, but most of them should go forward. This is why I think it was a mistake for Republicans to block IU law [...]

Leftists (especially Rachel Maddow) have been declaring for weeks that Mitt Romney’s ads attacking Obama on welfare reform are a “dog whistle” to racists and play on racist resentment whites have against black people. With these criticisms, Romney’s critics on the Left reveal their own racist views. Here’s the issue: The only way the accusation [...]

Last night, ABC Nightline had an eye-opening report about corporate cash at the Democratic National Convention. Specifically, Duke Energy got over $200,000,000 from the Obama administration. Now Duke’s CEO has pledged to raise millions of dollars in campaign contributions for Obama, as well as spending huge amounts of money at the convention. How’s that hope [...]

I have said previously that I think Todd Akin should step down and allow another candidate to take his place in the effort to unseat Claire McCaskill. And while I think the Republican Party would be better off with a different candidate, some of the hysterical freaking out about Akin’s comments (for which he apologized, [...]

Barack Obama’s Consumer Product Safety Commission is doing its best to destroy another American business with burdensome overregulation. This time, it is the makers of BuckyBalls who have been targeted by Obama. BuckyBalls makes powerful magnets that can be put together in various formations as an adult desk toy. Sadly, some children have swallowed the [...]

Militant homosexuals and their supporters have no interest in tolerance, and the Chick-Fil-A controversy demonstrates it. They demand acceptance (which is very different from tolerance) and will viciously attack anyone who does not accept their sexual behaviors as normal and natural. A little over a year ago, some “students” attempted to get Chick-Fil-A banned from [...]
