Sounds like a pretty perceptive article.
This is about the author of those two articles, Tim Rollins.
A New Yorker with attitude, a veteran of the United States Marine Corps and the Army National Guard who majored in Business Management at the University of Utah, Tim Rollins took over as Editor-in-Chief and Publisher of The American Partisan (TAP) in July 2001. He brings a wealth of writing experience to the position, to include publication online in Covenant Syndicate, USA Journal Online, Enter Stage Right and Femme Soul among others, as well as in print in USA TODAY, the Toronto Sun, the Deseret News in Salt Lake City and the Halifax Daily Herald in Nova Scotia, Canada.
He has been a guest on Canada's #1 talk radio station CFRB 1010-AM. His column is titled "Beneath the Surface" because of what he feels is the almost always hidden and often not-so-hidden agenda of lawmakers that often lies just beneath proposals they claim will make America a better place, when all too often, the exact opposite occurs. In addition to his work at TAP, he is also a columnist with OpinioNet, The Patriotist and has appeared in GOPUSA. His long-term professional ambition is to be a regular columnist for the Wall Street Journal, The New York Times or other major American newspaper with a lead into syndication nationwide - or maybe a shot at CNN's Crossfire or better yet, the Fox News Channel. A member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly known as the Mormons), he is the father of three children and lives in the Greater Toronto Area.
