Doing What’s Right vs. Doing What’s Convenient

Mass had not quite begun this past Sunday morning when I suddenly saw the woman -  who I have, in many ways, always considered a second mother -  approach me and sit down next to me.  We hadn’t seen one another for a short bit, mainly because I usually attend the 11:30, and I believe she [...]

The Student and the Teacher

As I’ve intermittently mentioned during my time at America’s Right, in addition to my duties as an administrator for an all-boys’ Catholic college preparatory high school, I’m also one of its baseball coaches. That is where this story begins. About fifteen years ago, a sophomore at our school, Travis Rowley, was one of the young [...]

America’s Right Interviews: John Robitaille, Republican candidate for RI Governor, and John Loughlin, Republican candidate for House, RI-1

John Robitaille The state of Rhode Island is emblematic of the social, cultural, financial, and political problems that have seized the heart of America.  For decades the smallest state in the union has, for the most part, been held hostage to the unionist-controlled, political Left, the faction that is at this time in our history [...]

Garbage In, Garbage Out — The Real Cost of Health Reform

By REP. MIKE COFFMAN (R-CO) Guest Contributor In the final days leading up to passage of the health care bill, and in the days since, Democrats have touted claims that the legislation will reduce the deficit by more than $1 trillion over the next two decades. These claims are utterly false, and it doesn’t take [...]

‘Ultimately Not Sustainable’

A tad over one year ago, your faithful servant noted in Obama’s Doo-Doo Economics that Obama administration budget guru Peter Orszag had conceded that the out-year budgets being then proposed by President Barack Obama–budgets which the Congressional Budget Office projected would result in deficits of “four to five percent of gross domestic product (‘GDP’),”–would be, [...]

The Burning Question

How much is it worth? On Sunday, the elected majority demonstrated to all that they believe they can construct a “more perfect Union” by means of a government takeover of our national health care system. Proven powerless to stop it were those in the elected congressional minority, as well as those of us in the [...]

The ‘Spending Limit Amendment’

Regardless of whether many in the media or in the Democratic Party are willing to admit it, yesterday’s stand by Kentucky Sen. Jim Bunning–who had the audacity to insist that the U.S. Senate abide by its own pay-as-you-go rules and offset new spending with spending cuts elsewhere–likely struck a chord with an American public sick [...]

Bunning’s Last Stand

“How do you negotiate with the irrational?” That question is the official response from the White House, proffered by Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, with regard to the political theater unfolding today on the floor of the U.S. Senate surrounding the so-called “Jobs” bill, a $10 billion spending sweepstakes The “irrational” one referred to by Gibbs [...]

A ‘Stimulating’ Anniversary Come And Gone

Alas, the one-year anniversary of the signing of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act has come and gone.  The only recovery, as it seems, has involved a renewed sense of patriotism and adherence to conservative and libertarian values, ideas and ideals among Americans concerned about the direction in which the nation is headed.  And the [...]

VIDEO: Paul Ryan on Debt Ceiling Increase

It’s a funny thing how, depending upon the issue of the day, certain people will step up.  Recently, as talk has turned to matters of debt and deficits and the president’s new budget, the one to step up has been Wisconsin Republican Paul Ryan.  Admittedly, other than reading a few of his op-ed pieces over [...]
