  • Abortion and rape

    Published August 23, 2012

  • November’s choices -- tough to support either Romney-Ryan or Obama-Biden

    Published August 16, 2012

    We have a choice between a president who has posed more of a danger to personal freedom than any in the past 150 years and a Republican team that wants to return to Bush-style big government.

  • President Obama, Attorney General Holder and executive privilege

    Published June 20, 2012

    Wednesday, President Obama granted a request by Attorney General Eric Holder to assert executive privilege over documents in the botched 'Fast and Furious' anti-gunrunning operation.

    Published June 14, 2012
