Founding Fathers - Brilliance or Luck?

This segment examines the motivation of the Founding Fathers.

Is President Obama an economic Idiot

As President Obama announces potential tax cuts to businesses, you have to ask yourself, "Is he an economic idiot?" This proposal is all hype and political maneuvering.

This will bring back corporate investment, repatriate offshore profits, and put people back to work.

Instead he went on ABC's "The View" to chat it up and campaign for himself and the Democratic Party.

Suing Mexico for Illegal Immigration - Part 2 - Drug Cartels

Judge Bolten has castrated the Arizona Immigration law and now more than ever we will have to deal with the problem ourselves. One idea is to have all 50 states sue Mexico and the drug cartel families for damages. It's time to point the finger at the real bad guys.
