The
"American Sniper" Controversy
By
James
Hirsen
Clint
Eastwood's, "American Sniper," has Hollywood insiders in a virtual
state of shock. Executives and creative minds in Hollywood are wondering why
the film did almost twice the revenue that anyone in the industry had expected.
The project had initially been perceived (and by some is still viewed) as a
simplistic, partisan, pro-military film and has a few Hollywood celebs in an
uproar. But what Eastwood actually delivers in the movie is a realistic
characterization of the consequences of war. [more...]
The
VP Dodging Bullets
Who
knew that it would be so hazardous to be the Vice President? The life of a Vice
President of the United States of America cannot be an easy existence as it is;
most are likely aware of this fact. Set aside the daily responsibility that
naturally comes along with the life of being the heir to the most powerful man
in the world. Set aside as well, the inability to divulge classified
information which likely correlates with the creation of multiple stomach
ulcers. Now think about how many of the most recent Vice Presidents (two of
two) have had encounters with live fire ammunition. The most recent case with
Vice President Biden is certainly a no harm, no foul situation considering the
victimless nature of the crime. [more...]
If We Increase Taxes, We Decrease America's Standard
of Living
More
taxing and more spending is precisely the wrong
strategy to take in this anemic recovery with over 92 million people who are
not working. I might add that the administration's third leg of their
strategic policy triad, namely a whole lot more regulating of the American
economy, is also counter-productive and a boat anchor on economic growth. Increasing
capital gains tax rates is a roadblock to economic growth. In examples
throughout the last century, we know that lower capital gains tax rates act as
an incentive to capital formation and investment, new business formation, new
products and services, and new jobs. Ultimately and ironically, even
government revenues get a boost with a more robust economy with lower marginal
capital gains rates. [more...]
More
Tax Hikes?
By
Joe
Messina
For
those of you who really don't get it, the government does not make "revenue,"
they collect taxes. Or in plain, simple English, they take your money! I don't
have a real problem paying taxes. I don't want to do it, but I do understand
the need to pay taxes for the basics like first responders (fire, police,
ambulance), military, "basic" healthcare (hospitals and clinics),
road work and maintenance (in the form of tire or gas taxes), snow removal,
landslide removal... you get the picture: paying basic taxes for services
received. But I don't want to fund the government's stupidity and inability to
spend money wisely. [more...] Check out Joe

Are the Deadly Attacks in
Europe a Warning? Are Radical Islamic Terrorists Coming to America?
It
is now war in Europe – Radical Islam vs. freedom. Is this war now
going to come to the U.S.? Is Washington, D.C. hopelessly late to the dance?
Why did it take one week for Secretary of State Kerry to get to Paris? Where is
the GOP on this – and on Obamacare and immigration? Is there a growing feeling
of betrayal inside the base of the Republican Party? Do any of the GOP's 2016
candidates actually stand for anything – other than themselves? This – and much
more – will be discussed by the POLITICAL INSIDERS. [more...]
