Tea Party Conservatives and Occupy Wall Streeters don’t agree on much, but they do agree on one thing — both groups despise crony capitalistsand crony capitalism.
Huge corporations, especially banks, insurance companies, and other big financial institutions are nominally born of free-market capitalism where success and growth comes from providing the best services at the lowest prices. One might think that these huge corporations would therefore favor unfettered competition. And...
Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) today introduced the Television Consumer Freedom Act of 2013, which provides consumers the ability to buy cable channels individually, also known as “a la carte,” giving Americans more control over their viewing options and, as a result, their monthly cable bill.

Another Democrat senator shows us why we need a change in control of the Senate in 2014
Whether a particular member of the electorate knows it or not, the fact is, government debt constitutes an existential threat to the Republic. We simply cannot sustain these levels of sovereign debt, unfunded liabilities, and the interest payments that will soon begin to balloon therefrom.
Also, whether a particular member of the electorate knows it or not, government debt is created not by a lack of taxes, b...
STATE CAPITOL, PHOENIX (April 30, 2013) – Late last night, Governor Jan Brewer provided advocates of responsible governance and Second Amendment rights with reason to celebrate. HB2455 (unclaimed property; firearms; disposition), sponsored by State Representative Brenda Barton (R-Dist. 6), was signed into law.
The bill requires state and municipal agencies to sell unclaimed or forfeited firearms. Once it takes affect, the legislation will preserve...

Is Hoplophobia Real?
Abstract: Hoplophobia, the morbid fear of guns, is a real, extremely dangerous, widespread and clinically recognizable complex specific phobia with a number of unique characteristics, described. It has caused and continues to cause grievous harm in America. Dr. Sarah Thompson, M.D., author of two seminal papers on gun phobia, claims hoplophobia is little more than name cal...
In March, PoliceOne conducted “the most comprehensive survey ever of American law enforcement officers’ opinions” on the subject of gun control, and the results are stunning. Simply put, law enforcement officers are overwhelmingly of the belief that more gun laws will not help reduce crime, and than guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens will.
This was no small survey, either. Over 15,000 “verified law enforcement professionals” took part, and there were 28 question...
America is in a gunfight. The bad guy government wants to disarm the good guy citizens. The battle: tyranny versus freedom. The Obama government has started the bleeding-out of Constitutional rights and protections for all citizens through its ramped-up attacks and erosions of Constitutional amendments. On patrol at the Constitution’s perimeter are leaders like Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, among others, who refuse to back down and bow to totalitarianism.
The public relations campaign to support Medicaid expansion frequently uses testimony by patients with serious medical conditions who have lost their private insurance. It is assumed that once they qualify for Medicaid, they will easily get their chemotherapy, hepatitis c treatment, or defibrillator battery replacement.
“The messages talk only about coverage, not care,” states Jane Orient, M.D., executive director of the Association of American Physicians and Sur...
The strongest advocate for expanding Medicaid—and the likely source of funding for the massive advertising campaign—is the hospital lobby.
We hear that hospitals are going broke. They can’t make ends meet. The uninsured are breaking the hospitals’ backs from emergency room over-utilization. Hospitals won’t survive unless Medicaid is expanded. (This is the most interesting claim, as hospitals simultaneously complain that underpayment by...
Since January, many of us at the State Capitol have been trying to determine a common sense way to approach reliable health care for our neediest citizens. It is clear that a full expansion of our Medicaid program to 138% above the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) will add 400,000 patients or more to an already overloaded system. After carefully studying this complex issue, I have determined the plan is unsustainable and potentially harmful to hardworking Arizona taxpayers....
State retains power to own all especially deadly guns Forces federal agents to either violate state law or deny civil rights Effectively immediately That’s not the way networks covered it, is it, but it’s the identical story
Can you imagine what a tough uphill struggle the anti-gun-rights people would have if the “news” media wasn’t falling all over itself to support the anti-rights side?
