America After Obama

Jeff Lukens — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 17:00:18 +0000

Altogether, Barack Obama will probably go down in history as the worst president of all time.

Barack Obama has gone from the “one we've been waiting for" to the one we can’t wait to kick out. No one ever thought one man could bring the nation to its knees, but here he is living [...]

Did Hedge Funds Throw The 2008 Election?

Jeff Lukens — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 18:22:53 +0000

Our government is protecting hedge fund traders, and there needs to be a public investigation into their behavior that led to our economic collapse.

Hedge fund traders had a great year in 2008. That year, hedge fund short sellers were instrumental in the spike in fuel prices, the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, the [...]

A Battle We Cannot Afford to Lose

Jeff Lukens — Thu, 03 Mar 2011 12:26:24 +0000

Saying that we are losing our prosperity is an understatement. We are at the edge of an abyss, and it is mostly a problem of our own making.

Patriots since the founding have always risen to the challenges of their time. Today, we must do the same. As the debt crisis deepens, the time [...]

Could China’s Instability Threaten America?

Jeff Lukens — Fri, 03 Dec 2010 12:18:31 +0000

A succession of wage increases has occurred this past year for factory workers. That, along with a rise in commodity prices, could bring a spiraling inflation where higher wages and prices feed off each other.

China's double-digit economic growth over the past thirty years has been breathtaking. Growth has limits, however, and China may [...]

Uncovering the Obama Conspiracies

Jeff Lukens — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 02:41:42 +0000

When it comes to Barack Obama conspiracy theories, there's lots of smoke but thus far very little fire.

Our worst suspicions about Barack Obama are coming true. He is not a centrist as he claimed to be. He is a leftist, and he is destroying our way of life. Obama could be perpetrating the greatest [...]

Just Finish the Dang Fence

Jeff Lukens — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 11:39:16 +0000

We have a proud history of accepting the world's poor in a system designed to provide gradual assimilation of new citizens into our language and culture. We need to control our border and allow that process to happen properly.

Why did building the fence along our southern border stop? Instead of building the fence, Barack [...]

Summoning Our Inner Hero

Jeff Lukens — Tue, 11 May 2010 01:21:34 +0000

The cancer of progressivism didn't start with Barack Obama and his corrupt Congress, but we can see to it that it ends with them.

Rarely does the concern of the middle-class reach a point where they start protesting the government en masse. The passage of ObamaCare and the impending financial ruin of our country is [...]

2008 Market Crash Should be Investigated

Jeff Lukens — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 11:51:43 +0000

Who exactly withdrew $550 billion on September 18, 2008?

Almost two years after the mortgage crisis and stock market crash, no one seems to wonder about the "September surprise" that shifted the 2008 presidential election to an unknown leftist politician who had been elected to the Senate only two years before. A pulp-fiction writer could hardly [...]

Change Our Military Can’t Believe In

Jeff Lukens — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 13:08:32 +0000

There is a big difference between fine-tuning existing DADT policy to see that fewer gay discharges occur, and declaring that open homosexuality is acceptable within the ranks.

Many gays and lesbians serve honorably in today's military. That is no secret. It is also no secret that open homosexuality within the ranks could hinder unit cohesion, reduce [...]

The Choice Between Prosperity and Decline

Jeff Lukens — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 13:11:46 +0000

For prosperity and innovation to continue, we must choose to preserve the honest relationship of self-interested individuals working in cooperation with a government of limited and divided authority.

This land of a free people and a free-market economy has generated a great wave of innovation that has benefited all of humanity. The essence of freedom [...]
