Everyone knows that this presidential election will be one of the most contentious in U.S. History. The ideologies are extremely different: Donald Trump wants to bring back the lost industrial base to the United States while Hillary Clinton wants to continue the policies of the Obama administration and add a few tweaks of her own … Continue reading
The job of government in a democratic country is to protect the rights of its citizens. At this point, though, it doesn’t seem like that’s happening. The rights we have are eroding at a quick pace and we have less economic opportunity and freedom. Citizens are willing to give up their rights for safety and freebies rather than be … Continue reading
The Bill of Rights was added to the U.S. Constitution in 1791. But it only took seven short years for the U.S. Government to attempt its first assault on citizen’s rights.

One of the problems that Americans face is that we don’t know what our rights are. Yes, everyone knows that freedom of speech is part of the first amendment in the Bill of Rights. But ask anyone if they can list any of the other rights we have. Most Americans can’t. That’s why we’re slowly … Continue reading
Americans are a people of little faith – in government. And we should stay that way. In the past 16 years we’ve been lied to a lot. Remember when George Bush told us about the weapons of mass destruction being produced and hidden in the deserts of Iraq? We went to war, destabilized … Continue reading

Now that the candidates are set for the main event in November, polls are showing that both Clinton and Trump … Continue reading
