Focusing Only On Fiscal Issues & Economy HUGE Mistake

Focusing Only On Fiscal Issues & Economy HUGE Mistake

This three video series lasting approximately 30 minutes is worth the watch. Speaking to a church congregation, Ann Coulter entertains with her typically cutting wit. Beyond that, however, she speaks to essentially every pressing issue of the moment and the political forces at work. In some ways Coulter’s wit is cutting because she is one […]

Deserving of Darts? Jeff Fortenberry On Repealing Health Care

Originally published November 2, 2010, By Shelli Dawdy. Updated March 9, 2012. 8 Comments

By Shelli Dawdy Typically the GiN “Deserving of Darts” feature articles lay out an issue and an assertion is made that some individual is indeed – deserving of a hail of darts. In this instance, I submit to you, the Nebraska citizen, tax payer, and voter, the decision regarding whether or not Nebraska’s First District […]

Stopping The Big Government Trend: Have We Earned It?

Those of us who believe our state and our country are going very much in the wrong direction should expect it will require much from all of us. Are we all doing all that we can do? George Washington’s favorite play was Cato, the story of a Roman who struggled, along with others to preserve […]

What We Can Do To Stop Health Care: So Far It Is NOT Enough

Two-thirds of Nebraskans don’t want the health care law implemented. Of that number it’s impossible to know how many realize that there is more than one way to fight its implementation. Considering the potential damage the fully implemented law would cause to the economy, quality of care, medical innovation, and individual liberty, it stands to […]

Sen. Ben Nelson Obstructs Efforts to Audit the Federal Reserve

Originally published July 9, 2009, By GiN Admin. Updated January 25, 2011. Leave a Comment

This was a frustrating piece of footage to watch: There is no justifiable reason to block an audit of the Federal Reserve.  As noted by Sen. DeMint, that entity has been in control of the US money supply since 1913 and its actions are not seen in the light of day. Who in their right […]
