On Wednesday, I got together with Congressman Thaddeus McCotter for a phone interview about the future of conservatism and the Republican Party. Now typically, interviews with politicians tend to be dull because they’re very guarded and they tend to go on and on about whatever the wonky issue of the day is. However, we got […]

“All change is not growth; as all movement is not forward.” — Ellen Glasgow As people who have followed Barack Obama closely over the last few months have long since realized, there has been very little substance to the man’s campaign besides his determination to lose — oops, I mean “end” — the war in […]
