U.S. Senate Passes Budget to Nowhere

Posted on March 24, 2013 by D3 Support

The U.S. Senate has passed its first budget in four years. This in itself is a pathetic commentary on the inability and unwillingness of our government to do even its minimal, Constitutionally mandated duties. The budget, while not binding as … Continue reading →

Immigration Doesn’t Have to Be a Problem (Part 1 of 2)

Posted on March 12, 2013 by D3 Support

Rand Paul’s Brief Flicker of Liberty Shows the Power of Principle

Posted on March 9, 2013 by D3 Support

What’s interesting, and sadly unusual, about U.S. Senator Rand Paul’s victory over Obama on the issue of military drones is: His insistence on arguing from principle. This attention to fundamental principle is not something we saw at the time Obamacare … Continue reading →

Columbine Survivor Asks the Hard Questions About Guns

Posted on March 5, 2013 by D3 Support

It’s amazing. When Hollywood celebrities who support gun control or gun bans advocate these policies, we’re supposed to humbly and uncritically listen. Even when some celebrities, such as Rosie O’Donnell, support gun bans while claiming special exceptions for themselves, we’re … Continue reading →

Does the National Debt Even Matter?

Posted on March 3, 2013 by D3 Support

It’s No Longer “the Economy, Stupid” (Part 2 of 2)

Posted on March 1, 2013 by D3 Support

As Wal-Mart Goes …

Posted on February 19, 2013 by D3 Support

We’re always hearing from politicians that the battle is ‘Wall Street vs. Main Street.’ The politicians promise to protect Main Street from Wall Street. In a fog of ignorance, it might sound appealing and it certainly generates applause. But in … Continue reading →
