Over a month has passed since the BP oil spill and fingers are STILL being pointed. BP is getting most of the blame (with good reason). The Obama Administration has not been let off the hook either. The problem with the blame game is that it halts efforts to fix the problem. The ongoing oil [...]
By the time you finish reading this, the tension surrounding the immigration law passed by the governor of Arizona will have reached a fever pitch. The Arizona law criminalizes illegal immigration by defining it as trespassing. It empowers police, to question anyone they have a “reasonable suspicion” of being an illegal immigrant. President Obama and [...]
In an unintended (or not) push to force the Obama Administration to address the immigration issue, Arizona passed a law this week that basically makes racial profiling legal. This new bill criminalizes the lack of alien registration documents for those in the country illegally. It also allows police to question any person suspected of being [...]
Barack Obama has hit a new low. Despite that one of his first actions as president was to block all offshore drilling that his predecessor had approved, President Obama has now decided to support one of Sarah Palin’s most vocal issues: offshore drilling.

The 2010 Winter Olympics are in full force. The United States leads with 25 medals, 7 of those gold. But before you start those U-S-A chants, consider how these games were made possible. But every Olympic games comes with controversy. Vancouver taxpayers are shouldering the burden of a very expensive production. Once estimated at CAN$580 [...]
Recent polls show that the overwhelming support of President Barack Obama has started to dwindle, falling to below 50% for the first time since taking office. While some of this has to do with the growing popularity of the tea party movement, the numbers also reflect disappointment among Obama’s core supporters. Many liberals expected more [...]
Hundreds of protesters gathered in LA, Chicago and New York this week. They could have been raising funds for Haitians, whose country was tragically hit by a 7.8 earthquake, leaving thousands dead and many more injured and homeless.
