Mitt Romney: ‘Better America Begins Tonight’

Mitt Romney tonight delivered remarks in Manchester, New Hampshire:

Thank you Pennsylvania, Delaware, Rhode Island, Connecticut and New York!  And tonight I can say thank you, America.  After 43 primaries and caucuses, many long days and more than a few long nights, I can say with confidence – and gratitude – that you have given me a great honor and solemn responsibility.  And, together, we will win on November 6th!

The direct election of senators has created the federal monster

By Louis Adimando

Ever wonder why the federal government does not respect the 10th Amendment? Because of the 17th Amendment. It changed our Republic forever by establishing the direct election of senators. Previously, senators were appointed by each state’s legislature. The direct election of senators has led to a marked erosion in states’ rights. No longer were senators beholden to their state legislatures; no longer would the interests of the states have representation in our federal government.

Mitt Romney in 2012 – Believe in America

“A house divided against itself cannot stand.”

Abraham Lincoln.

This year is a very special year. Elections in 2012 are crucial not only to us but to our children, and generations to come. This year we are electing our beliefs. Do we believe that coming years of this century will be years of prosperity with United States as an undisputed leader of worldwide progress, peace and economic growth? Should we believe that in our future, we are facing only chain of economic collapses, world conflicts and moral decline?

What Happened To Our Cheap Oil?

By Alicia Colon, aliciacolon.com

When I was in high school I learned that the price of oil in England was as high as $5.00 a gallon. That meant nothing to me because I lived in Manhattan and cars were totally unnecessary because of our superb public transportation system. Years later, living in Florida in 1972 gasoline was about $.24 a gallon. Today US gas prices are close to what European prices were decades ago and the question arises-What happened to our cheap oil? It didn't disappear. It's still here. We just can't get to it so why are we being held hostage to the whims of oil rich hostile nations? I'm no expert but the villains in this situation are the "Greenies" and our own stupidity for falling for their claptrap.

The spoiled leftist radical

Provocative foreign activists exploit Israel’s tolerance and comfortable lifestyle.

During my first year at the Hebrew University I worked at a typical Jerusalem bar – coffee and pastry in the morning, hamburgers for lunch and plenty of beer in the evening. The bar's proximity to Jerusalem's city center made it popular with the foreign peace activists who arrive in Jerusalem quite often. On numerous occasions I spoke to those who grabbed a drink after another day of protesting in Sheikh Jarrah or Bi'lin. Time after time I found myself wondering – why do they even bother coming here? How can a 20 year old Danish boy wake up one morning and tell his parents he's flying to the Middle East?

Multiculturalism in the Work Place

by Les Christianson

Recently, I participated in a “diversity and inclusion” program at my place of work.  Fear of retaliation for going against the philosophy of diversity keeps me from specifying where I work. Participating in the “white male affinity” group was not as obviously odious as I had feared; I had feared Soviet-style sessions where minorities harangued us to force a confession of our sins.  The reality was softer, yet much more frightening.

What is the proper amount of salt you would use for a rib eye stake? That sounds like a question on an internet cooking forum or a chat between two buddies on a Sunday afternoon barbeque.

Would you begin, Janine, by giving us a little information about yourself, your family background?

Sure, my name is Janine Materna and I’m a third generation Staten Islander. I’m the daughter of two loving hard working parents Joseph and Dolores Materna.
