Is it patriotic to pay taxes? And if so, who are the most patriotic Americans? Who are the least? How many words are in the tax code? How much do patriotic Americans pay to prepare their taxes? How long do you have to work in a year to earn enough to pay your taxes? You [...]

He drafted the Declaration of Independence and was Governor of Virginia. As the 3rd U.S. President, he approved the Louisiana Purchase and had Lewis and Clark explore it.

Marie Jon’ At the time of our founding, most Americans were avowed Christians. Those devout believers would be shocked to see modern revisionists claim otherwise, and they would especially be shocked at the degree to which non-believing atheists have taken control of our country’s courts, legislative halls, and educational institutions. Barack Hussein Obama belittles the [...]

Star Parker STAR PARKER FOUNDER & PRESIDENT COALITION ON URBAN RENEWAL & EDUCATION There are some today who suggest that Christian conservatism as a political force is over. Those who make this claim point to the fact that liberal Democrats now control the White House and both houses of congress, that the number of Americans [...]

From our friends at Americans for Limited Government.

As I’ve said before, love of America and protecting Americans is just a big joke to liberals. Check out Secretary of State (the United States’ chief ambassador and representative of our interests to the world) laughing and yucking it up…even as she talks about the 21 American citizens in harm’s way because of Somali pirates [...]

I could be wrong here. I suppose it’s possible that Christopher Hitchens is just monumentally ignorant and misled about America’s Christian heritage and about certain very important facts about the founders. Somehow, I don’t think so.  He seems far too intelligent, with far too much ability to learn and investigate on his own to have [...]

Watch White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs squirm when confronted about President Obama’s bow to the king of Saudi Arabia. (video below) He knows they’re busted, and to his chagrin, even some in the American “mainstream” press aren’t buying it. You KNOW it’s bad when the “mainstream” media isn’t buying the Koolaid. One might possibly [...]

This is what liberals typically think of patriotism, love of America, and those of us who do have a passion for our great nation. Glenn Beck is an emotional guy…which is not a bad thing as long as one allows facts, reason and intellect to guide those emotions (and I believe Beck does). He loves [...]

From our friends at Americans for Limited Government.

Miller Time is usually good on Fox News, but Dennis Miller was in rare form during this segment. I was nearly crying with laughter a couple of times. Apparently President Obama’s handlers have come up with an excuse to try and “explain” his very obvious deep bow to the king of Saudi Arabia last week: [...]
