This week America saw the true colors of the Arab spring. Rioters all over the Middle East attacked and raised Islamic Radical Flags over Sovereign American Soil. These attacks have raised a number of questions in American's Hearts (like where in the world were the Embassy Guards?) but while many American's grieve and pray for the lost souls of these awful events, others are scheming on how to push their Agenda to pacify America. Many leftists will see these Embassy attacks as the rallying point they needed to turn America Against the War on Terror. However, like a bully on...

When we were kids, we saw the damage a twisted truth or unfounded rumor can do to another person. As adults, we have a duty to uncover the truth through contemplation and evaluation. When we fail to examine “facts” as they are presented, we become the audience in a farce is played-out before our eyes. An example of facts-as-farce is happening now. Harry Reid accuses Romney of going ten years without paying taxes. This fact is actually true because during the first ten years of Romney's life he did not pay taxes and lived with his parents. But Reid's statement...

Educational reform is a major issue in America. Not only are many schools going bankrupt but schools around the nation are failing to prepare Generation Y, leaving them helpless and dependent on the government. It has become apparent that radical changes must be made to America’s educational institutes in order to help the future of America. But while politicians and concerned parents attack the walls of Academia by trying to pass legislation in hopes to change the structure of the crowning kingdom liberals have created, what are the students to do? Students are on the inside of the walls and...

Senators Dick Durbin (D-IL), Mike Enzi (R-WY) and Lamar Alexander (R-TN) are rallying this week to pass a bill known as the “Marketplace Fairness Act” that will impose sales tax on internet purchases under the bill of “Small Business Jobs and Tax Relief.” The new tax is a deadly spike being driven into our already handicapped economy. A tax on internet sales would harm America in a time when the economy is already fragile. Many companies have used the internet to sell their products in a quicker and more efficient means. Consumers will now see the prices they pay on...

Entitlements are strangling the wealth of our nation and crippling the American Spirit. The Welfare State is devastating America. As the number of entitlement recipients increases, our country drifts towards a place of no return. More terrifying is how our current administration promotes the growth in the number of people receiving entitlements and how “good” the programs are for our country. Food stamps are a prime example. Currently in America, over forty-five million citizens in the food stamp program. The program adds about sixty billion dollars per year to the national debt. Too many people abuse the system by paying...

It is the way of Mankind to pass stories along through generations to teach future generations important lessons and morals that must never be forgotten. Although the story may change from time to time, the lesson does not change. However, what if people used the popularity of a story and subtly altered the meaning to meet their own agenda? What if these twisted stories began to be used to counter the original morals of the story completely? What if the original meaning of the story is as American as Johnny Tremain but the lesson is attacked by Americans themselves. One...

Governor Walker's victory is the Capture of Fort Ticonderoga. Leftists (specifically unions) now must face the fact that they have wanted to ignore all along; The Tea Party is alive and strong. Although not the majority in the political field, the Tea Party pick their battlefields and are armed with a vision, a vision that America will become the land of life, liberty, and (most importantly) a land of and for free people. The Tea Party has placed the Republican party in a position where they either support the Tea Party, or lose in 2012 (much like how the continental...

Today, walking by my hometown's Middle School I noticed that the Californian Flag was upside down. I asked a teacher walking by why the flag was flying upside down and her answer was “Because the state is in distress.” Intrigued I asked why and I got a long explanation about how Administration was cutting teachers and that it is not fair that they are being cut. She concluded her rant with “If it weren't for those Tea Radicals in administration schools could actually teach.” These people were never taught that life is not fair and after hearing their whines, it...

It has become increasingly apparent that our Culture has become leftist. With Environmentalists, Unionists, Big-Government supporters, bias media, teachers, and liberal Hollywood it has become clear that the original Counter Culture of the 60s has won the battle over the minds of Americans. CNN and NYT are preaching to their dwindling fan base that the Occupy Movement is the New Counter-Culture in America. Occupiers resemble the 60s Counter-Culture in a number of ways. Both movements believed that government should end it's overseas wars, wanted sexuality to be more open, and believed that fat cat businessmen should pay their “fair” share....

Election season is in full swing and this election will decide whether America continue it's road to a corrupt system of Federal overreach or whether America will return to the Founder's intent. It has also become clear that this election will become violent in major cities across the country and the use of fear will be used heavily by the Obama Administration in order to win your vote or convince you not to vote (which is the same thing). Obama will endorse the Occupy Movement throughout these next months and the more he claims they speak for the country, the...

After that fateful day of September 11th, 2001, Americans had a since of pride and stood hand in hand together simply because they were America. However, people did not rejoice in being American simply because they were American. They rejoiced because our enemy reminded us of the many things we take for granted such as our life, liberty, our pursuit of happiness, and our rights that protect us from becoming slaves to an oppressive state. A phrase that used to be coined throughout American culture was revitalized at this time: “It's a free country, let me do what I want.”...

Our Founding Father's established the most remarkable system of government the world has ever seen. Not only did they defy a tyrant in order to achieve their vision but also defeated the British twice in order to secure our way of life. It is no doubt that the Founders were impressive visionaries but how far has our government drifted from the Founder's original intent? One of the duties of government is to collect taxes (and we know they exercise their right to tax) but in the Constitution it states “The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties,...

In these recent few years we have seen a rise in the ever-growing strength of the Chinese. They are taking our manufacturing jobs, they are manipulating their currency to make it impossible for other nations to compete with China, and they are communist. Don't be disillusioned, the Chinese control their industries and the only glimmer of hope for capitalism in that country is Hong Kong, which is filled with Chinese troops to remind the businesses who is truly in control. China (like the Soviet Union) stands for everything we stand against including (but not limited to): Collectivism, Communism, Socialism, police...

After seeing the SCOTUS trial on Obamacare it has become increasingly obvious that Left-wing Democrats (leaving out the moderates) live in a bubble and are detached from the American people. They believe that they know what is best for not only America, but every individual inside of this great country. So who is to blame for this isolation of the Democratic Party and why they are disconnected from the public (and sometimes reality)? Us. For too long Americans have left unchecked powers reign supreme over this land. Americans stopped following politics and ideological stances their candidates were making. All Americans...
