Is WI Gubernatorial Candidate Scott Walker playing on homophobia?

I received this in my inbox today: That’s how State Rep. Pocan characterized the $36.7 million in special favors that Assembly Democrats added to the state budget last week. According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, some of these “non-substantial” expenditures include:
• $5 million in bonds for the Bradley Center
• $46,000 to purchase recycling bins for [...]

You don’t mess with the USS John McCain.

An Explanation…

I need to apologize to my readers for the long period without any posts. I’ve been busy working on a few things, both personal and related to college – including an attempt to form a new College Republicans chapter. As soon as I’ve gotten things sorted out, I’ll post an update on this site – [...]

An Unholy Embarrassment to the Catholic Faith

This is nothing less than a complete embarrassment of the Catholic faith and a dark stain against Catholic education in the United States. As a supporter of abortion rights – which [...]

Same-sex Marriage

Matt suggests that only a small majority of young voters support same-sex marriage.

Wisconsin Smoking Ban

Given the fact that the Democrats won full control of State Government in November, a statewide smoking ban was inevitable.

Where does the Government get off setting smoking policy on [...]

On the Recent Lack of Posts…

Basically, I’ve caught something or other (no, its not swine flu), and that, plus work, plus school has zapped my energy. I’m not ignoring the blog, but the motivation to write things is minimal right now. More once I get over whatever it is I’ve got.

Out of the Tax Day Tea Party movement emerged renewed calls for tax reform, a very honorable goal that I am strongly in support of. But most of these calls seem to be in support of the fair tax – a proposal that would replace all income tax with a national sales tax of about [...]
