"It should be the highest ambition of every American to extend his views beyond himself, and to bear in mind that his conduct will not only affect himself, his country, and his immediate posterity; but that its influence may be co-extensive with the world, and stamp political happiness or misery on ages yet unborn."
-- George Washington (letter to the Legislature of Pennsylvania, September 5, 1789)

Issue 2 was defeated, but the moral argument against it remains... Why I'm for Ohio Senate Bill 5 (and why you should be, too!)
Some questions that I'd like to ask the Ohio Senate Bill 5 opponents: Why should I go to work and take that which I earn and deposit it into your retirement account?

Mosque Talk
One of us is clearly living in a parallel universe. Mr. Watson, your statements simply do not correspond with reality. There aren't just "some" whack-jobs killing in the name of Islam. And if Islam is such a beautiful, peaceful religion, why aren't the beautiful, peaceful adherents...

The same values and principles that millions of our brothers, sisters, parents, and grandparents offered as the ultimate sacrifice in defending. We have entered a rock-star era of political...
