By: Matthew Hayward edited 7/4/2013 I decided to write up a little response to a recent post I saw about Republican unity. For better context, I am going to repost the original message and than my response. "I have been a Republican my entire life. I first went out and campaigned door-to-door at the age of ten...for Richard Nixon in 1960. Having been doing this now for somewhat over 50 years, I would like to take a moment of your time and talk about RINO's. Not the African beast, but the so-called Republicans In Name Only. The debate within the GOP is about issues, ideas, the heart and soul of the party. Being a real Republican, however, entails more than merely claiming the name for your own. It also entails working for the party year in and year out, working for and voting for the party nominees even if you don't agree with them on every issue, realizing, as Ronald Reagan said, "A person who agrees with you 80% of the time is a friend and ally - not a 20% tra...

By Matthew Hayward Why are ‘ USA Today’ and other news outlets losing readers and viewers? Could it have anything to do with the fact that they all read the same script? Yesterday I heard the catchphrase Chrysler blinks, but only after… on two radio stations and three TV news programs.

I have talked to a lot of people who are sincerely afraid to get politically involved out of fear of being put on a...

The president openly admits we are going to "have some problems” if we don't trust the president, don't trust Congress and don't trust the judges ... What kind of problems Mr. President? It almost sounded like he was going to say something about a new American Revolution. What else happens when faith and trust is lost in a government that serves to undermine our rights?  "That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government,..." "....We're going to have some problems here." Our President
