Dear President Obama, My neighbors here in Murrells Inlet have appointed me their spokesman in order to relay to you the results of our latest kitchen cabinet meeting. We believe we've come up with some great solutions to many of America's pressing problems. Of course, not a one of us is an expert or has any letters after our names, but we're hoping you'll listen anyway. (And we have no problem if you want to take credit for them.)

. . . . .Nancy Morgan at American Thinker has a different take on the timing of our economic crisis, its cause, and its intended outcome. Was this "a very high stakes poker game with the prize being the White House?",  one reader asked.  Consider this:In the summer of 2008 as McCain and Obama were in the midst of their campaigns to capture the presidency, a series of events dramatically changed the focus of the campaign from Iraq to the economy. From that point on, Obama took the lead and eventually won the presidency.Now, a full two years later, the Pentagon...

In early 1992, I heard five words that were to drastically alter the course of my life. H. Ross Perot was on TV. He held up a toilet seat and said "The government paid $700.00 for this toilet seat." He then stated, "And this is public knowledge." Huh?   Perot then went on to outline more fascinating nuggets of information I had absolutely no knowledge of. He pulled out charts and graphs and proceeded to inform me of a world of facts to which I had never been exposed.   Having long prided myself on being informed, I decided to...

Through a series of supposedly random but arguably deliberate chain of events, America is poised to jettison 220 years of a free market system called capitalism, in favor of the tried and failed system of socialism. This writer, and others, are now starting to question how we reached this point.

CULTURE WATCH, Volume 16 by Nancy Morgan Right Bias This weekend, the country mourns our fallen soldiers. Without them its very possible our lives would mirror those poor souls in Burma, or worse. Thank God for our country, our soldiers and our way of life. I count my blessings every day. Unfortunately, there are those that don't appreciate how very blessed we are to live in the greatest country in the world. I'm referring to the liberal media. A resounding Shame On Them for their continuing refusal to inform the American people of the progress our soldiers and the Iraqi...

CULTURE WATCH by Nancy Morgan "I'll take 'DEMOCRAT and DISENFRANCHISED' for $1000, Alex." It's official. If you are a Democrat, your vote doesn't count. The Democrat presidential nomination will eventually be decided by superdelegates and the uncommitted superdelegates in Congress overwhelmingly say they won't necessarily back the candidate who wins the most primary delegates. Instead, they will vote based on which candidate will be most electable. Oh, those wacky Dems. With Hillary appearing dead in the water, the media has had time to focus on more important things, like the climate tour John McCain is planning. And polls on which...

How does one debate with a liberal? Sorry, under current rules, debate is not allowed. Just as our new national conversation on race is limited exclusively to authentic blacks, so is any semblance of debate with those on the left limited to those who accept the rules of debate, as defined by liberals. Just as Boy Clinton redefined the meaning of sex, so have liberals redefined the meaning of debate. If your view doesn't accord with the progressive, politically correct elites, the debate is relabeled an 'argument', your opinion is redefined as a 'judgment' and both are promptly dismissed. By...
