The ideal presidential candidate is a man or woman with God at the core of his or her life and the Constitution at the center of his or her philosophy of government.
I found President Obama’s State of the Union address this week infuriating — and exhilarating.
That wasn't a wave. That wasn't even a tsunami. Tuesday was a Category 5 political hurricane in which the American people effectively wiped out the entire agenda of President Obama and the Democrats.
