Time to Clean the Cabinet

It's time to clean the White House's cabinet. The appointees have failed, one right after another. On top of that we now have the DOJ refusing to charge terrorist murderers and the State Department reported Arizona to the U.N. on Human Rights violations. It's time to clean house. This is part of the Political Common Sense for America series.

McCain...Really??

The Republican and Democratic parties have failed to provide us with reasonable candidates. They are giving us a choice between bad and worse when we enter the voting booth. We must stop the idea of career politicians who can buy elections with special interest money. This is part of the Political Common Sense for America series.

Making Headway Deporting Illegals

Recently, ICE Director John Morgan claimed great success with record deportations. The problem is that he doesn't know his history and when you calculate in the number of illegal births every year, we're not making much headway. This is part of the Political Common Sense for America video series.

What Is Your Life's Blueprint?

This is a reading of the Dr. Martin Luther King speech, sometimes called "The Street Sweeper". The purpose of this video is to make people aware that in 1967, Dr. King understood that education, perseverance, and self-worth was going to change more than all of the politicians and legislation combined. At a time when we have 30% dropout rate, it's important to hear these words and make certain that our children have a blueprint for their lives.

Overturning Gay Marriage Ban

There is a lot of press right now on the overturning of the gay marriage ban in California, but I think the bigger issue is that the government shouldn't have anything to do with it in the first place. Marriage is a religious ceremony that has been hijacked by the government to enforce a legal contract on people. This is a contradiction to the 1st Amendment. Find out how this can be fixed.

Obama Ignores the Boy Scout Anniversary

Obama has now twice chosen to make a campaign stop instead of fulfilling his duties as President. In this latest disgrace, he ignored an invitation to talk to 45,000 boy scouts at their 100th anniversary.
