Orrin Hatch Should Retire!
June 30, 2009 | Comments Off
Senator Orrin Hatch former conservative from Utah is an embarrassment to proponents of limited government. No, he is not currently advocating for in state tuition for illegal aliens (that I know of, at least.) What he is doing is sticking the federal government where it does not belong, college football’s BCS!
Excuse me, Senator Hatch, but [...]

What Passes For A Leader
June 22, 2009 | Comments Off
Some days the news is depressing. Some days the news is outlandish. Some days the news is funny. Every day the news about President Barack Obama leads a rational person to wonder if the “reporters” are auditioning to be replace the bumbling fool that currently attempts to be his spokesman.

June 20, 2009 | Comments Off

June 14, 2009 | Comments Off
As a frequent reader and contributor to Illinois Review, I can’t help but notice the lower right sidebar occasionally.

June 13, 2009 | Comments Off
There is a troubling bit of information that is being neglected in all the discussion of healthcare reform. As “Big Brother” Barry presses on in his destructive quest, no one is considering the alarming rate of E.D. among registered voters.
