The Failed Deficit Reduction Attempt

  Obama and his Democrat allies in Congress have spent an unprecedented amount of the taxpayer's dollars and the nation has  absolutely nothing to show for it--except the enrichment of the White House's allies in unions, and other pressure groups. It has been nothing less than a redistribution of the wealth, not to the poor, but to the politically connected.

    The result of this disgraceful misuse of the public treasury is the bankrupting of the nation.  Now the President is continuing his call to raise taxes.  To do so would be the equivalent of giving the rent money to an alcoholic for another trip to the bar.  Keynesian economics and the leftist refusal to acknowledge the basic laws of economics have trampled the greatest economy in history into the dust.

    In addition to a political philosophy that has ravaged countries around the world, there's a lot of self-serving going on.  Our current crop of politicians consider their own re-election more important than the national interest.

    It's time to end this disgrace.

Remembering Heroes

We extend our sympathy to the families of the servicemen who lost their life in the recent helicopter downing in Afghanistan.  It is yet another reminder that "freedom is not free."  Each day, every American should recall that our liberty and our safety depends on the courage, skill and sacrifice of our men and women at arms.  We can never truly repay our debt to them.  We can, however, do all that we can to insure that they have the best equipment in full supply, that they and their families are provided with appropriate compensation and benefits, and are provided with appropriate opportunities and respect upon their return to civilian life.
