FOXNews.com - Unemployment Benefits to Expire Sunday After Senate Stalemates On Extension

Imagine the audacity of a senator insisting that we find the money to pay for something. It’s not as if we are trillions of dollars in the hole, right. Oh wait...

Don’t get me wrong on this, I feel bad for the folks who really need help, but isn’t it time that we live in reality. How many more people are going to lose their jobs when our economy collapses from the continued bad policies of our government? You cannot spend your way out of a recession, and jobs will not be created by companies until the government gets out of the way. Government cannot and should not regulate every aspect of our lives. The more they try to, the further we are away from saving America for future generations.

Secure Communities: A Model for Obama's 2010 Immigration Enforcement Strategy

January 5, 2010 Secure Communities: A Model for Obama's 2010 Immigration Enforcement Strategy by Jena Baker McNeill WebMemo #2746 In 2009, 90 counties across the country became participants in the Secure Communities program. This program provides a modern means for state and local law enforcement to share information with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), helping to make immigration processing and removal more efficient. This year alone, the program took 11,000 criminal aliens off the streets and out of the United States. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) should find ways to improve...

Welcome to Conservative American!

Thank you for visiting my new blog. I'm new to blogging, so please be patient with me on this. I decided to start a blog for conservatives. It seems like there are plenty out there for everyone else, so I thought that we could use one for conservatives. America is the marketplace of ideas, and we all profit from the healthy discourse and debate that accompanies so many of the issues that we must address as a nation. Conservatism almost always wins when it is articulated well. My goal is to help keep people informed about current news and issues, and to encourage debate and discussion about them. Please refrain from using this blog to spread rumors, unfounded allegations, personal attacks, or violence in any form. I will delete any comments that contain any of these items or inappropriate language. The best way to win an argument is to know what you're talking about and why. I hope that together we can learn something from each other, and help to restore conservative principles to our government. Thank you.
