Depends On What Your Definition of “Is” Is
Extremism. Webster’s defines it as: Advocacy of extreme measures or views: Radicalism. Let that sink in for a minute. Extremism is radicalism as defined by the most widely used Dictionary on planet Earth. Why do I bring this up you ask? Simply put, the left are trying to paint the Conservative movement, the Tea Party, [...]
Florida Swings Like A Swing State Do
Those of you who are old enough to remember one of my favorite country singers, the late, great, Roger Miller, probably remember one of his most famous songs, England Swings. The title of this column fits pretty well into the tune, and is also apropos for the upcoming November elections. If you believe [...]
Romney’s Taxes – And Why He Shouldn’t Release Them
Anyone on the right side of the aisle who thinks Mitt should release his taxes is a moron-I repeat a complete moron, and here’s why: Romney’s taxes were prepared by a licensed, insured CPA, and probably one with a JD to boot. Guys who make that kind of money don’t go to H&R Block. [...]
The Thin Line Between Taxes and Mandates
There is a good reason why the line is murky between an individual mandate to purchase insurance and a tax. Politicians laid out this semantic shell game for us back in the 1930’s.

To Arms! To Arms! British Healthcare Is Coming!
In the Spirit of the 4th of July holiday, the following is an updated version of an article published in “General Surgery News” – August 2009. April 18, 1775 was a fateful date in American history. That night, Paul Revere, a Boston silversmith, rode his horse through the countryside and called his fellow colonists “To [...]
The One Fourthers
Poll after poll recently indicates that upwards of a full one in four people are still undecided when it comes to their presidential choice in November. These One Fourthers, as I will refer to them henceforth, are typically generation Xers, the majority of which did not go to college, and are those who identify themselves [...]
‘Do Nothing’ Congress? Far, Far From It
In November of 2011, UCLA fired football coach Rick Neuheisel after the Bruins lost to crosstown rival the University of Southern California 50-0. Quoting UCLA Athletic Director Dan Guerrero after the firing, “Decisions such as this one do not come without a great deal of heartache. However, it is apparent to me that a [...]
The Obama Campaign: A Dangerous Campaign of Division
One could argue with a great deal of certainty that Barrack Obama is the most divisive and dangerous President in American history. His ultimate goal of furthering the socialist agenda in America has been underestimated and continues to be underestimated to this day. I have heard members of the Republican party refer to him [...]
