Let’s not get confused, President Obama ended the hunt for Osama bin Laden but it was President George W. Bush who started it. And without Bush, Obama wouldn’t have been able to take credit for killing bin Laden.

Whenever the U.S. government enters into a state of fiscal austerity, politicians always look for budget cuts from programs they deem to be less important or have little or no constituency. Foreign policy budgets, especially those directed towards Africa seem to always show up near the top of that list.

They can listen to a song and dream of living “the good life” but that same artist turns around and advocates for more public housing, food stamps, and overall government dependency. When will Hip Hop draw the line and share the whole story about their success with the very people that need the most inspiration?

The left in America has tunnel vision they see and hear what they want to see and hear. How many of them remained silent when death threats were directed at Bush? How many were outraged when images of Bush were being hung with blood pouring from his head at so called “Peace Rallies?

It seems like the Saul Alinsky way-”How to Be an Activist 101.” You have to cause a scene, right? Wrong. Now Democrats tell us a citizen being disruptive is suspect.

From the 2008 election cycle you would never know that the most important issue today is the dismal state of our public education system.
