One of the best things about CYP has been our speakers.  We feel that the quality of our speakers has really been top notch.  From Tim Sheehy to Mike Grebe to Scott Walker, we are very proud to offer a tremendous assortment of Milwaukee conservatives.  You should come to our events to see our speakers in ...

Despite what Democrats and some Republicans are saying in Washington, there is no more money.  I suppose that’s a little imprecise–there is a question if the US can pay back its debt at the rate its going.  In 2011, the US will run a deficit of 10.8% of GDP.  That is a $1.5 trillion deficit.  ...

Election day is here once again. With all that has taken place in Madison over the last couple of months, today’s statewide race for Supreme Court and the local race for Milwaukee County Executive are especially important. Among those on the ballot today are recent CYP guests Justice David Prosser and County Executive candidate Jeff Stone. And ...

By now, we’ve all heard about the protests and the governor’s stance. Obviously, most people in CYP support the governor whole-heartedly.   Our friends at WPRI have some of the better write-ups on this here. After reading this article about how the protestors have made this into a big sleepover, it reminded me of that great ...

I watched parts of the President’s address.  It is clear that he doesn’t want to spend any more money….  He wants to “invest” it!  Not like you or I may invest in our 401(k), though, by owning a hard assets.  More like by spending more money, but this time, with the idea that it could ...

President Obama and his surrogates are attempting to blunt his refusal to extend certain tax cuts (or, if you like, his desire to raise taxes) by saying that 95% of Americans have already received a tax cut under his plan.  His surrogates then generally go on a clever aside about how clearly the tea partiers are out ...

Governor-elect Scott Walker has asked the lame-duck state legislature and the governor not to pass and bring into law contracts with state unions.  Walker probably wants to further negotiate these to get the best possible deal for the state. He’s aboslutely right to do so.  The people who attack Walker for doing so are conflating ...

We are living in extraordinary times.  Generally, when politicians have to make cuts to budgets, it is unpopular (that’s why they don’t do it very often.  That’s also why we’re in the situation that we are in now). But that does not hold true today.  Chris Christie is showing that the angst over debt is ...

In the final weeks of 2010, it will be interesting to see what, if anything, the outgoing Congress accomplishes. Supporters on both sides of the aisle tend to forget at this point in the year that the newly-elected officials have yet to take office. It is possible that current officeholders, many with nothing to lose as they ...

“There is one day that is ours. There is one day when all we Americans who are not self-made go back to the old home…Thanksgiving Day is the one day that is purely American.” –O. Henry There is something to be said for Thanksgiving being one of the few uniquely American holidays. Although originally initiated ...
