The Tea Party screams at the GOP constantly and all they get is a pat on the head every election cycle. Its almost like GOP leadership isn’t worried about the Tea Party vote, like they don’t think there’s an alternative to the [not so] Grand Ol’ Party. Well, there really isn’t at the moment. A […]

Daily Haymaker: A loyal reader of this site forwarded me a recently-published piece in National Review by John Hood, president of the Raleigh-based John Locke Foundation.

This is similar to a democracy because our representatives are selected by democratic elections, but ultimately our representatives are required to work within the framework of our constitution. In other words, even if 90% of Americans want something that goes […]

I keep hearing that the republic was overthrown four years ago when Obama took office. I’m tired of people with short memories and I’m tired of the GOP.
