The Age of the Common Man
The Age of the Common Man, as Cooper termed it, is upon us. We have created a world of sensitivity and inclusion and community that is slowly choking out older values, values that helped to create this wonderful world we live in. Ideas like community have replaced self reliance, sensitivity has replaced achievement and political correctness has made liars and cowards of us all.

Nothing could be more apparent than his recent video at this site. He’s doing what every single Governor of every state should be doing – fighting back against the unions. He brings up a very important fact for New Jersey. If the Unions had agreed to let the teachers not take a pay raise then many of them would not have been laid off. Instead the […]
