Thanks to Barack and the Left, Gas Prices are Still Rising
Unfortunately for now-President Obama, the reality of $4-$5-a-gallon gasoline is a much tougher sell to the general public. He’s put himself to work spinning the line that “speculators” are at fault for high prices, but the actual explanation is far more matter-of-fact. No new wells are being drilled and no new refineries have been built in decades. Gas prices have gone up 67 Percent since Barack Obama became president. That’s compared to a 7 percent increase under Bush in his first 26 months. That’s something even a community organizer should be able to understand it.
Hollywood Conservatives. There are More Than you Think
The newest closet for celebrities to come out of is definitely Conservatism. Just like in the McCarthy days, once you’ve been labeled a Conservative (or Lord forbid, a Christian) you are not only ridiculed but also somewhat blacklisted in Hollywood. We decided to focus on some of these amazing Hollywood Conservatives. We think some of the names on this list will surprise you.

The IAR is made up of hundreds of REALTORS® promote the real estate industry and private property rights at the Illinois State Capitol.

The Green Thing: A Different Definition of Recycling
It is always easier to look back at the generations that preceded us and say, that “they” are responsible for all that ails our society. Easier, but is it correct? Are our parents, grandparents and those before them guilty of abusing Mother Earth?
White House Fails to Issue Easter Proclamation
President Barack Obama, with daughter Sasha, attended the White House Easter Egg Roll on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, Monday, April 25, 2011. He did little else to honor one of our most sacred Christian holidays. We, of course, do not know if Barack Obama is a Christian, but if he is, why does he play mind games about subjects like this and his birth records?
Westboro Baptist Church Protestors Go To a Mississippi Funeral
On April 7, USMC Staff Sgt. Jason Rogers, killed in action in Afghanistan, was buried in Brandon, Mississippi. That, by itself, is a sadly unremarkable though certainly noteworthy and solemn occasion for us to mark. What happened when a well know group of “fallen” Christians appeared in town to protest this brave man’s service to his country and applaud his death is what is noteworthy.
