One of the fallouts of the real estate bust is that fewer banks are providing business loans and those who are have tightened their guidelines.

Before Voting, Examine the Root Causes of the Issues

Imagine going to a clinic to remove a splinter. The trained physician sees blood coming from your finger tips and remarks, “Blood emanating from the indexes is generally indicative of a severe stomach bleeding. I’ll schedule surgery immediately.”

Hedonism Leads to Apathy

The world has seen many cultures rise and fall. The common thread among all, from the Ancient Romans and Greeks to others, is that prior to their fall they became selfish, gluttonous and apathetic. They adopted the feel good and do it now mentality that today’s secularists feel is an invention of their own.

The Obama-Barr Ticket

Ralph Nader is doing what all Americans who care about national security and competent economic leadership should do, he’s helping John McCain and taking away votes from Barack Obama.

Truth in Reporting – If Only We’d Insist On It

Presenting true and accurate information is crucial to enabling the public to make proper decisions, yet it’s increasingly clear that this is of little concern to today’s mainstream media. But as inexcusable as their distortions and slanted coverage are, they come as little surprise.

Correcting Public Schools Through Competition With Private Education

We’ve heard the news. In 17 of 50 large US cities, more high school students are dropping than are graduating according to a study conducted by the highly reputable America's Promise Alliance. Even though reporting on the study was misleading, with much of the media portraying it to reflect all urban areas, not only 17 out of 50, the problem is real and extensive nonetheless.

If Only We’d Voted Democrat in 1972, We’d All Know How to Speak Russian

Everyone would like to have a presidential candidate we can always agree with. In the end, however, when two clear choices emerge, the responsible thing to do is to fight hard for the candidate you believe will best serve, govern and protect this nation.

The Near Death of Logic, the Clear Dearth of Integrity

One of society’s largest problems is that decisions on all matters, be it education, health, national security or any other issue, are no longer rooted in pure logic with a regard for what’s best for society. No longer do we analyze what’s best overall and then seek to implement sound solutions. Indeed, people who try to are often derided for doing so.

Small businesses are the backbone of America’s economy. This is especially true in South Florida, which according to last year’s bizjournals.com study is one of the top five small business markets in the nation.

The Root Cause of Why Some Liberals Are Unresponsive to Logic and Debate

Before I begin this column, please allow me to make clear that there are many people on the left who are open to discussion and to reexamining their views based on facts and analysis.

National Initiative To Get Students To Vote And Stay Informed

It’s unfortunate that young Americans, ages 18-29, are the least likely to vote, despite the fact that their lives are affected the longest by the decisions of elected officials. One 18-year-old is trying to change that by encouraging students to find their voices in a way that appeals to them, and that works.

Grassroots Members of all Political Stripes Rallying to McCain

In 1980, conservatives, moderates and even a number of independent minded liberals banded together on behalf of a candidate who proposed common sense solutions to the twin problems of the Cold War and the stale economy.

Lifting Up the House – If There’s One Race Republicans Should Focus On, It’s This

The year 2008 is gearing up to be better for Republicans than expected. A few months ago, a Rasmussen poll showed Republican Party affiliation at its highest level in two and a half years. In state to state matchups, our presidential candidate does much better than anyone had expected just a few short months ago. And while it’s highly improbable that Republicans will regain the Senate (though not impossible, if Reid, Pelosi and a Democratic presidential nominee who’s naive on national security combine to turn voters away from Democrats in general), regaining the House is a better possibility.

Busting Open Your Doors Without Breaking Down the Bank

On Election Day 2004, I had the pleasure of discussing the day’s events with a young and forthright Kerry supporter. I mean this with sincerity.

The Best Veep for McCain - A Winning Short List

A lot of speculation has taken place among the media's talking heads as to who John McCain will pick as his running mate. As is the norm when mainstream pundits discuss Republican politics, their suggestions are not in the party's best interest.

The Real Barack Obama

Even after Tuesday night, Barack Obama remains the clear favorite for the Democratic Nomination as Hillary Clinton has fewer and fewer possibilities of gaining a lead in delegates.  It is therefore crucial that we examine his largely unknown record.      

Why America Would be Headed for Disaster Without John McCain

For the past 25 years one voice has fought tirelessly to reduce congressional spending, often fighting members of his own party to do so. This is no small feat. Opposing the spending projects of your fellow members does not generally win you any friends.

Small Business Owners Need to Grow Their Assets – So Start Investing and Stop Spending

Every week we discuss a variety of marketing solutions, business development techniques and acquisition of investor capital all in an effort to help small businesses grow.

Black and Radler, Victims of Fitzgeraldian Injustice – And They Should be Pardoned

Imagine if someone operated a business in a certain country according to the laws of its land and then decided to take their company public in another country with similar rules and regulations. In doing so, they made sure to follow all statutes and laws listed on the books, that precluded nothing about business practices that were the norm in their native land, although somewhat less common in their new one, uncommon but not illegal.
