Pennsylvanians will be paying more to shop online

Pennsylvania’s “conservative” Governor Tom Corbett (R) broke the news a few months ago that he wanted to start enforcing the law that online retailers collect taxes on purchases made by Pennsylvanians and return them to Harrisburg. This, Corbett claimed, would increase our revenue by getting the money that was “owed” and help us with our government funding issues. Corbett also intimated that it might help boost struggling brick-and-mortars in the commonwealth because the tax collection would discourage online purchases. So, starting September 1, 2012, expect all of your online …

Have Social Conservatives Sold Out?

If the Barry Goldwater-Ronald Reagan legacy embodies what most observers think of as traditional, small-government conservatism, there have always been those on the right who stress character and morality first. I too am socially conservative, in that I believe human life is sacred, societal health is dependent on the health of the family and our religious traditions and heritage should be observed, protected and even promoted. I actually believe having a small or limited government would naturally promote all of these things.
That said, when Bill Clinton was conservatives’ main target, …

Newt’s Victory is Tea Party’s Loss

Sen. Rand Paul has said that Newt Gingrich “goes against everything the tea party stands for.” This might be an understatement.
The tea party originally stood for one simple but important message: Stop spending. For tea partiers, the “Troubled Asset Relief Program” or TARP was the litmus test and any Republican who supported it faced the wrath of the movement. Explained Utah tea party leader David Kirkham in May 2010:
I think it’s a matter of fiscal or financial responsibility … What the tea party people are about and the vote for …

Truth Justice and the American Way

When I was growing up, Superman was the ultimate hero on American television. The opening promotion proudly proclaimed that Superman was fighting for “truth, justice, and the American way!” Unfortunately, Superman is fiction, and there is neither truth nor justice in our American court rooms today.
My good friend, Bernard Von Nothaus has been convicted of counterfeiting in what I perceive to be one of the most blatant examples of fraud this world has ever known. An Alice in Wonderland event where up is down, and nothing is real. Bernard is …

Bob Casey’s US Senate Seat is up for Grabs

It is finally 2012 and there is a huge debate going on in the public square as to the direction our nation will go for the next four years. This is because 2012 is a Presidential election year and people on all sides of the aisle are getting involved in the political process, many of whom will be doing so this year for the very first time.
Make no mistake, the 2012 presidential election is huge but I am afraid it is overshadowing many other races that are going on …

Ron Paul: I Went

During the ABC News debate on January 7, 2012, the moderator brought up a statement Ron Paul had recently made regarding “chickenhawks,” or politicians who are hawkish about going to war but personally shirked the opportunity and dodged the draft and/or chose not to enlist to serve in the U.S. military.
When asked if he would recant this statement, Dr. Paul stood his ground and said, “I think people who don’t serve when they could and they get three or four or even five deferments have no right to send our …

Rick Santorum Hates Your Freedoms

In 2006, in an interview with NPR, Rick Santorum said:
One of the criticisms I make is to what I refer to as more of a libertarianish right. You know, the left has gone so far left and the right in some respects has gone so far right that they touch each other. They come around in the circle. This whole idea of personal autonomy, well I don’t think most conservatives hold that point of view. Some do. They have this idea that people should be left alone, be able …

Santorum’s Liberal Record on Gun Rights

A press release from Dudley Brown, Executive Director of the National Association for Gun Rights:

The fact is, Rick Santorum does have a long history of supporting gun control.
In the 90s, he voted to support the Lautenberg Gun Ban, which stripped law-abiding gun owners of their Second Amendment rights for life, simply because they spanked their children or did nothing more than grab a spouses wrist.
He voted for a bill in 1999 disguised as an attempt to increase penalties on drug traffickers with guns… but it also included a provision to …
