America needs some tough love
America faces serious challenges, but has an un-serious culture. And the heart of the problem is that few of the “grownups” – the people in charge, the ones who have traditionally spoken the tough truths – are willing to do anything other than simply tell people what they want to hear.
Politicians are no use – they just want to pander for votes. Most of the media is just an extension of the Democratic party, and many of the rest are afraid to challenge their audience, lest they lose viewers/readers/listeners.
This leaves us with a stultified national dialogue. A country that can’t even discuss its real problems.
So it’s up to us “regular folk” to step up and force that conversation. This site is a humble attempt to contribute to this effort.

TL4A Quick Take
President Obama has added $7 trillion to the federal debt in his first six years, and he's adding more every day. He's also doing nothing to slow soaring college tuition, perhaps because university workers were huge donors to his campaigns. Instead, he distracts young people by showing he is so cool he'll do interviews with YouTube stars. How hip is it to weaken America and leave young people with the tab?
