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 spill erupted...

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...

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.

Barack Obama has hit a new low.
