I’ll Still Vouch for Vouchers

Tuesday, November 27th, 2012

If a local church in your community were to catch fire, should your local fire department let it burn to the ground? If a local priest, minister or rabbi were being robbed, should the cops just drive by and tell him he’s out of luck? Or should the government make it illegal for you to […]

Dem Maps

Tuesday, November 27th, 2012

Indianapolis City-County Council Democrats Monday night unveiled their version of new district maps, despite the promise of a veto by Mayor Greg Ballard.

A close look at election results in the donut counties shows Republican candidate Richard Mourdock grossly underperforming which enabled Democrat Joe Donnelly to become the next U.S. Senator from Indiana. In the overall election Donnelly beat Mourdock 49.4% to 44.3%.  Libertarian Andy Horning came in at 5.8%.  In Marion County, Donnelly beat Mourdock 64-30.  While […]

Teachers vs. Tony

Saturday, November 10th, 2012

It is no big secret that the Indiana State Teachers Association and their members launched a successful social media campaign to defeat Republican Superintendent of Public Instruction Dr. Tony Bennett.  I’ve come across some of their correspondence and decided to reprint one e-mail in particular.   Frankly, I think the Hitler video is a little over […]

Wednesday, November 7th, 2012

If there’s one thing we can take away from the 2012 Election in Indiana, is that there are 12 things we can take away from the 2012 Election in Indiana.
