My family came over to the United States from Ireland and Scotland several generations back.  They married the local inhabitants, which also makes me part Native American.  My brother is married to a Canadian (which is almost a foreigner, right?).  We have had first hand experience with the immigration laws of the United States.  […]

This is officially out of control.  Either someone missed the boat to begin with or else the Chinese are trying to take over via the kids.  How is it that almost every toy made in China in the last couple of years suddenly has too much lead in the paint?  I’m glad that the government […]

Congressman Ron Paul is a unique individual, making him a stand out in the institutionalized realm of Washington. This is a man that firmly believes in his understanding of the Constitution and chooses to defend that stand no matter what way the popular wind may blow.
