» Barack Obama: "I am not an ideologue!"
By John Armor | Published 02/2/2010 | From Our Writers | Unrated

         "I jumped out of my chair when Obama claimed in front of the Republican meeting in Baltimore that he was 'not an ideologue.' What he is not is any kind of 'pragmatist.'  So, he is an enemy of facts, law, history, and of America as it currently exists.  Hence this column.''

» Getting Control of Congress, Permanently
By John Armor | Published 01/13/2010 | From Our Writers | Unrated
         The people are strongly indicating that they think Congress is out of control and needs adult supervision.  Particularly galling is the revelation that Senate leaders bought critical votes on the health care bill by dumping hundreds of millions in special benefits into states whose senators had withheld support--until they got their bribe.

» A Fitting Legacy for Teddy
By John Armor | Published 08/29/2009 | From Our Writers | Unrated
