Fat President,Lean Government

Tom Purcell,FloydReports.com

A week ago,Los Angeles Times editors asked readers if New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has the look of a president.

The editors explained that [...]

Courage,Sacrifice,and the Anti-American in the White House

Don Feder,GrassTopsUSA.com

Should We Be Thankful Obama Ignored the Civil War’s 150th Anniversary?

Danny Tyree,FloydReports.com

I recently read an article lamenting the fact that federal participation in commemorating the 150th anniversary of the War Between The States has been practically nil.

This lackluster performance should have come as no surprise,since the U.S. is too busy meddling in everyone else’s civil wars to acknowledge its own [...]

As the nation digests Barack Obama’s plan to ride a tax hike to re-election,one phrase from yesterday’s budget speech confirms what this author has long stated:the president is fundamentally an anti-American Messianic figure who believes he was sent to save our nation from itself and its Founders.

Reagan Would Not Support Obama on Libya

Ben Johnson,FloydReports.com

For some conservatives,the most sacred initials in policymaking are WWRRD:What Would Ronald Reagan Do?

Barack Obama’s undeclared war in Libya is such a situation,but I’m afraid [...]

Tom Purcell,FloydReports.com

Ah,New Year’s Eve. What a great night to revisit the past year.

Though I’d rather revisit 1999.

The unemployment rate was 4.2 percent in 1999.

Dot-com stocks were still creating lots of paper millionaires.

The U.S. deficit for that year was $1 billion —that’s right,“billion”with [...]
