The simple concept that the United States is a nation of laws and not men or women has been at the heart of equal protection under the law whether one is the President of the United States or a ranch hand living just outside Cheyenne, Wyoming. President Obama’s nomination of Thomas Perez to become our nation’s next Secretary of Labor flies in the face of this basic principle.

Conservatives and conservative positions have been under assault in America going back at least as far as the 1960s when radical Leftists came to infiltrate every level of academia and intelligentsia, including the media.
