Obama's "Rules for Radicals" Health Care Buy Alinsky-affiliated group scores $56 million Obamacare co-op grant.
Video: Gas Prices Affect Us All, Did Obama Want Them Higher? The rising cost of gas is bad news for literally everyone in the U.S. Yet, somewhere in his mangled response to a question back in 2008, Barack Obama implied he wanted them to be higher.
The cause of limiting government looks bleak People concerned about the out of control spending in Washington should be concerned about the alternatives to Obama.

By Rick Manning
Not content with making the health insurance industry unprofitable, through rules and regulations set out in enacting Obamacare, the Obama administration released the first eight grants/loans under the Consumer Oriented and Operated Plan (CO-OP) program.
The CO-OP program was established under the Obamacare law to put into place one federal government selected group in every state that is supposed to provide an insurance alternative to those few companies that remain after the imposition of the law.
The grants/loans have raised the political antenna of Bill Wilson, the President of Americans for Limited Government who said, "These grants/loans reek of political payola as one group, the Saul Alinsky-affiliated, Common Ground Healthcare Cooperative of Wisconsin was formed in August, 2011 just three short months prior to applying for the taxpayer money. In true, Rules for Radicals fashion, Obama's administration found this group worthy of receiving $56,416,000 in taxpayer largesse."
Common Ground is an affiliate of the Industrial Areas Foundation, a group the radical Saul Alinsky founded, as reported by the Journal Sentinel in Milwaukee.
The provision of $56 million taxpayer funds by the federal government for health care organizing comes at a time when Wisconsin's public employee unions are orchestrating a recall election of the Governor after failing in a retaliatory bid for power in the Senate last year. Wisconsin's state government moved forward with changes in the state's collective bargaining rules early in 2011 over the objections of the unions. Ironically, those changes have allowed the state to bring the budget into balance without having to lay off any public employees.

By Adam Bitely
It seems like every presidential election cycle people get excited to nominate candidate that will roll back the expansion of government under the previous administration. For months, speculation of who the candidate will be that will stop the growth of government runs wild. But, as is always the case, reality sets in and those who thought they could stop the growth of government with a miracle candidate are left with choosing between the lesser of two evils.
2012 appears to be no different.
As it stands today, Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum are generating the most buzz for Republicans. With the GOP establishment lining up behind Romney and the social conservatives lining up behind Santorum, the media is focusing on these two candidates with Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul fighting to get in the mix.
People concerned about the out of control spending in Washington should be concerned about Romney or Santorum being the alternative to Obama.
Santorum's record on spending leaves much more to be desired. He voted multiple times to raise the debt ceiling, supported the largest entitlement expansion since the Great Society programs started in the 1960's and supported increased spending throughout the federal government especially to the Department of Education. He was known as a "yes-man" for the Republican form of Big Government spending during the Bush administration. Now he is campaigning as a small government conservative, even though his record is that of a Washington big spender.

Ronald Reagan's "evil empire" speech delivered on March 8, 1983 "re-moralized American foreign policy" and reversed and era of détente in foreign policy that had given the advantage to the Soviet Union, Prof. Paul Kengor of Grove City College explained during an interview with Americans for Limited Government (ALG) at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).
Kengor, who is also a prominent Reagan biographer, said the speech had tremendous reverberations. It put the Soviet Empire back on its heels and help shifted the Cold War back in America's favor.
The "evil empire" speech was delivered on March 8, 1983 and just a few weeks later on March 23 Reagan announced the "Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI).
"Reagan used his voice as weapon," Kengor explained. "He destroyed this whole idea that there was somehow a moral equivalence to both sides and it made it plain and clear that America's struggle against Soviet expansionism and Soviet communism was a just cause.
The same U.S. State Department officials who tried to strike out the "Tear Down this Wall" comment from Reagan's 1987 Berlin Wall address, were also scandalized by the "Evil Empire" speech.
Kengor served as the moderator for a panel entitled "Rendezvous with Destiny: What Can We Learn from Ronald Reagan in 2012." Craig Shirley, author of "Rendezvous with Destiny" and Steven Hayward, a scholar with the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), also took part in the discussion.
