Lobbying in the White House
By David Bossie on Wednesday, May 23rd, 2012
The Washington Post  has an explosive exposé on the level of access lobbyists have to the White House, as revealed by the official visitor logs. According to the Post, the logs “show that the lobbying industry Obama has vowed to constrain is a regular presence at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. The records also suggest that lobbyists with personal connections to the White House enjoy the easiest access.” This, it turns out, is business as usual in ...
Holding Our Military Hostage
By David Bossie on Tuesday, May 15th, 2012
At the end of each May, Americans come together to remember our deceased war heroes on Memorial Day.  Every day our men and women in uniform are on the frontlines protecting our freedom and our way of life.  Our military is the best in the world because of the American soldier.  Unfortunately, Washington is playing a dangerous shell game that threatens the readiness and stability of America’s military for years to come. During last year’s ...
America’s Lost Labor Force
By David Bossie on Wednesday, May 9th, 2012
As the White House and its friends in the liberal media crowed about the unemployment rate moving ever so slightly down to 8.1 percent from 8.2 percent in April, the real story was how the American labor force shrunk to 63.6 percent.  This means that 88,419,000 Americans are sitting on the sidelines, not even looking for a job.  To put that into perspective, that totals about the combined population of France, Greece, and Cuba, which ...
Three Years of Failure
By David Bossie on Tuesday, May 1st, 2012
The last time the United States Senate passed a budget was three years ago on April 29, 2009.  It is a complete outrage that what is supposed to be the greatest deliberative body in the world cannot figure out a fiscally sane budget that will put America back on a path towards prosperity.  I have said this before and I will say it again, American families sit around their kitchen tables and make hard choices ...
Size of Government: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
By David Bossie on Tuesday, April 24th, 2012
As America heads towards a presidential election this fall, the growth and size of  the federal government will and must be at the heart of the electoral debate.  Both Republicans and Democrats have had a hand in increasing the size and scope of the federal government for decades.  But President Obama has taken the expansion of government to a whole new level with the passage of Obamacare, the “stimulus” bill, and other government programs.  In ...
War On Mothers
By David Bossie on Wednesday, April 18th, 2012
There they go again.  Liberals launched yet another disgusting smear campaign and this time it blew up in their faces.  After months of hammering hateful “War on Women” and class warfare messages, Democrat operative Hilary Rosen got her signals crossed when she badgered Mrs. Ann Romney, a stay at home mother of five with multiple sclerosis who survived breast cancer, as never having worked a day in her life. Despite the outrage, Obama’s million dollar ...
The Tax Man Is Coming
By David Bossie on Wednesday, April 11th, 2012
Americans get a two-day reprieve from the Tax Man this year due to April 15th falling on a Sunday and the following day being a Washington, D.C. holiday.  The deadline to file federal taxes is April 17th, a day which many Americans dread and Big Government relishes.  The old saying that death and taxes are the only things certain in life rings truer every day.  We are all going to meet our Maker, but do ...
Two Philosophies On Display At The Supreme Court
By David Bossie on Wednesday, April 4th, 2012
In our political system there is a fundamental divide between the two political philosophies.  Liberalism versus conservatism has long been a battle of ideas and has ebbed and flowed in various forms throughout our nation’s history.  Liberals advocate for Big Government whereas conservatives call on government to get out of their lives.  Last week, President Obama said that government “made this country great.”  I beg to differ, Mr. President.  America was made great because of ...
A Slip of the Tongue or Just the Truth?
By David Bossie on Wednesday, March 28th, 2012
In the past week there have been two instances where President Obama or a member of his administration were far more candid than usual. Maybe it was because both were not in front of Teleprompters or scripted on poll-tested talking points. President Obama and his administration have continuously altered the facts to prepare the landscape for this year’s reelection campaign. With the uncommon frankness from President Obama and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, the narrative that ...
Time for Democrat Controlled Senate to Step Up and Pass a Budget
By David Bossie on Thursday, March 22nd, 2012
Americans across the country deal with their family budgets every day. They must! To have a financially stable household, families need to spend within their means. During these tough economic times the American people have shown that they are able to tighten their belts. Unfortunately, those in Washington – in particular Senate Democrats – have taken the opposite tack and busted the budget without proposing one of their own. It has been well over 1,000 ...
