This week the UN, by a vote of acclamation, appointed Iran to a four-year term to the Commission on the Status of Women. As a PR professional, I am shaking my head at the latest move by the UN. This has to go in the category of “what where they thinking.” This appointment comes on the heals ...
I had a chance today to attend a workshop with Karl Rove, who was in town promoting his new book: Courage & Consequence. It was an interesting hour. I was a little disappointed that much of the time was spent on storytelling and not on sharing his thoughts on campaign strategy (which was how the ...
US Constitution: “provide for the common defense” – one of the pillars of government’s purpose. While Washington is chasing control of one fifth of the US economy (healthcare), they have totally lost focus of a primary role of the U.S. Government – protect the people. Instead, we have protected criminal rights so much that victims ...
One of the benefits of being a GOP delegate is that I get to see a lot more material from the candidates than the average voter. Over time, the mass amounts of emails, mailers, etc. invariably lead to little nuggets of insight about the “real” candidate. Today I found one of those nuggets in an email ...
Applause was generous before, and deafening after, Ted Cruz spoke to the Heritage Foundation Resource Bank 2010 audience in Miami. No doubt was left as to which side of the aisle the former Solicitor General of Texas comes down on. He spoke encouraging words to tea partiers, republicans, and other conservatives about the future of ...
There was standing room only in Miami at the Heritage Foundation Resource Bank 2010 conference. Fueled by the huge backlash against out of control government spending and erosion of personal liberty, conservatives welcomed national figures like Ed Meese, Bridgett Wagner, and Matthew Spalding to the podium. However, the hit of the opening luncheon presentation may ...

The Law: Fredric Bastiat American Cause: Russell Kirk Conservative Mind: Russell Kirk Commentaries on the Constitution: Joseph Story Road to Serfdom: F.A. Hayek What would you add/subtract from this list and why? ...
This week’s Republican caucuses drew much larger than normal crowds following this week’s unprecedented attempted takeover of health care by the Washington’s liberal left. Here’s one peak into the experience in Utah and the unanimous precinct rejection of the mystery health care bill just passed by the House and signed by the president. Daily Herald: 15,000 ...
The recent health care debate has reminded me how far we’ve fallen from the words stated by JFK. You’ll no doubt recall those famous words, “Ask not what you’re country can do for you…” At the end of the day, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is a 100% “what can government do for ...
A trillion dollars in new debt in the first year of the Obama administration. Breathtaking! Now, the CBO estimates the liberal spendthrifts are ready to borrow another trillion, give a take a few billion, to fund Nationalized Healthcare. This is BAD, BAD news for our economic health in the long run--to the extreme. ...
