2008 and 2009 will mark the most cataclysmic changes in American society since the revolution of 1776. Our government will have been taken over in a bloodless coup. Barack Obama will step into the White House on January 20th to take the helm of “The Socialist States of America”, the way having been prepared for [...]

If President Bush had stayed at least partially faithful to his oath of office, historians may have listed him along with Reagan and Truman for his stand against Islamic terrorism. Instead, he will be listed with Roosevelt and Johnson as the President who finally brought socialism to America.
On Thursday, Republicans in the Senate stopped the [...]
Welcome To Politics, Chicago Style

After reading all seventy-six pages of the Blagojevich indictment, I am shocked—shocked that anyone would be shocked that politicians engage in politics. Welcome to politics, Illinois and Chicago style.
What has all the politicos so upset is the crude way in which Blago went about making his deals. The most outrageous accusation, the selling of a [...]
Save The Electoral College

The end of 2008 finds America in one of the most precarious situations since its founding, its Constitution in tatters and its free market economy under assault as never before. All thanks to unscrupulous politician’s lust for power and an uninformed public bent on raiding the pocketbooks of their fellow citizens to satisfy their own [...]

A panel of Supreme Court Justices will meet tomorrow to consider one of many lawsuits attempting to force Barack Obama to show that he meets the Constitution qualification for President; “No Person except a natural born Citizen,…shall be eligible to the Office of President.” (Article II, Section 1)

Was the election of Barack Obama as President of the United States a bridge too far for the socialist movement? Since the beginning of our Republic, the political struggle has been between a liberal big government and a conservative limited government. The early contests were between the federalists led by Alexander Hamilton and John Adams [...]

In Defense of Gov. Balgojevich
Posted in Politics, commentary, tagged Chicago Politics, congress, curruption, Governor Blagojevich, Illinois Politics, pay to play, Politics on December 21, 2008 | Comments Off
If you live in Illinois you are probably hoping the Governor, Rod Blagojevich will just go away. If you are also a politician, you are probably hoping he can be eased out of office without being forced to allow the people of Illinois to elect a replacement for Obama’s open Senate seat.
