		<description><![CDATA[Memorial Day in my book is not just another day off for backyard barbecuing. In my opinion, Memorial Day is a time to remember all those who gave their lives to protect the freedoms we enjoy. This Memorial Day, I find myself thinking what it means to be an American.

		<description><![CDATA[If our children are being taught that America embodies no worthwhile principles to defend, no values to cherish, no traditions to preserve, then our republic is truly in jeopardy. Academia, the education establishment and most educators do not believe America’s values and principles are exceptional. Curriculum guides and textbooks characterize America as a country that is destroying [...]]]></description>

We continue to have faith in our rulers despite their betrayals, the squandering of the loot they steal and the unsustainable debt they have created.

Mixed martial arts is a rapidly growing sport already legal in other states. It rivals both wrestling and boxing in fans and attendance for events. Why should we miss out on the jobs, economic growth and new tax revenues? If Governor Andrew Cuomo, State Senate Leader Dean Skelos, [...]]]></description>
