Plot Turn #1:
One of the things you can always expect from the Left is an attempt to control the language of the discussion. Gay marriage? “Oh, it’s not a matter of behavior — it’s a matter of RIGHTS!” Abortion? “Oh, it’s not a matter of life — it’s a matter of women’s health!” Taxes? “Oh, it’s not about hurting or not hurting economic growth — it’s a matter of fairness!” Spending? “Oh, it’s not about the government wasting money doing things it’s not good at doing — it’s about helping people!”
You control the language, you control the discussion. That’s what

(Note: Don’t worry, folks—that’s a movie title.)
This past week has seen a fair share of scandals that demonstrate what happens when government gets too big. In addition, we’ve got some more news on the Zimmerman-Martin Incident. So ….
First—the sex: So a group of Secret Service agents are now in hot water, after the shocking revelation that, while preparing for a presidential visit to Colombia … said group got involved in prostitution. Apparently, the curtain was lifted — get this — when one of the agents refused to give his girl the payment she demanded.
Let’s recap: First, they let in

Your Vote Counts
by T Akery April 3rd, 2012 | Political Facts, Presidential Election
Your vote counts. Don't let anyone tell you that it doesn't. It isn't true. Our whole government system is based on the right to vote. That was a reason that the 15th and subsequently 19th Amendments were added to the U.S. Constitution. There was a lot of effort to give everyone this basic fundamental right. If history alone isn't enough to convince you, then perhaps this will.
Your vote is your voice. It is really that simple. If you don't vote, you don't have a voice. Remember, it doesn't count if you don't cast it.

Never Let A Crisis…

One of the things I don’t think I’ll ever get used to is the shameless tendency of the Left to try and exploit a tragedy. Timothy McVeigh?

It’s Bush’s fault — Dick Cheney blew up the levees, and “George Bush doesn’t

(A brief note: Faithful Camp Campaign followers may have noticed the clash another writer here seems to want to initiate with yours truly. I will make it a point, as I always have, to not dignify such by addressing him directly. Instead, in any conflict of opinion here, I've made it a point to invoke the facts as I see them—including, but not limited to, an article of my own regarding Rick Santorum, and the beginning of my last article—so as to challenge arguments on those grounds, rather than engage in dismissive name-calling. Let the readers read both. To
