They worked hard and showed Herman that the American dream can come true. One of their dreams was to send their kids to college. Herman graduated from Morehouse, and his brother Thurman from Morris Brown College. Herman continued with his parent’s fine work ethic and his education by earning his Master’s degree in computer science from Purdue University while working full-time developing fire control systems for ships and fighter planes for the Department of the Navy. Though Herman enjoyed using his talents as a civilian employee for the Navy, he gravitated towards the culture of business. Herman enjoyed a corporate career that began Atlanta at Coca Cola and Pillsbury, then on to Burger King and Godfather's Pizza. He then was chosen by industry peers who named him President of the National Restaurant Association. More recently, he hosted a radio talk show, The Herman Cain show on Atlanta's WSB.

Smith, and with him most of modern economics, took for granted that somehow helpless children grow into functioning adults capable of making contracts, keeping promises and having empathy for others.  In other words, she discovered that the economy depends on the intact family raising children. Religious thinkers and ordinary moms and dads knew this all along, of course. But Dr. Morse brought this common sense observation into direct contact with economic analysis. This discovery, which she fully develops in her seminal work, Love and Economics, is the basis for all of her subsequent work promoting what are now called “socially conservative” issues. Mark Neumann went to Congress in 1994 to balance the federal budget and restore out economy. And he succeeded!  In fact, Mark was such a fierce opponent of deficits, Congressional leaders of both parties threatened to end his “political” career if he voted against their spending. In September 1995, Republican Party bosses kicked him off the Appropriations Committee for voting against higher spending. Conservative Republicans rallied to support Mark, they backed his reinstatement and forced Congressional leaders to restore Mark to the Appropriations Committee and had him put on the Budget Committee, the first freshman in Congress to serve on both the Appropriations and Budget Committees at the same time. Considered Wisconsin’s most conservative Congressman in the last thirty years, Neumann repeatedly voted for lower taxes—never raising taxes—voted 100% pro-life, pro-marriage, and was rated A+ by the NRA in 1998. Senator Jim DeMint has called Mark a “full spectrum conservative. In 1998,  02:00:00stacyswimpnoJennifer Morse,Stacy Swimp,Mark Neumann,Right,Bishop Ira CombsJennifer Roback Morse, Ph.D,  discovered and elucidated an unstated assumption made by Adam Smith, the founder of modern-day economics.

Values which place God, country and family back in the center of our lives. This can be accomplished only if we are resolutely committed to breaking the chains that are often shackled around our minds, separating us along class, ethnic, and even political party lines. This has to occur one relationship at a time, sparking a national dominoe effect, which can lead to making America a better place to live, work, and play, now and for generations unborn. We believe that the principles of limited government, free market, and personal responsibility, as outlined in the Constitution of the United State of America, provide the only hope for cultivating and developing solutions to the challenges facing America in the 21st century. Our mission is to provide public policy discussions and contributions to solutions through independent and objective presentations on key social, economic, and political issues. Through the efforts of some of our best and brightest American Conservatives, we hope to provide our readers with essential information that shall inform, equip, and empower you to get involved with the political process.

Smith, and with him most of modern economics, took for granted that somehow helpless children grow into functioning adults capable of making contracts, keeping promises and having empathy for others.  In other words, she discovered that the economy depends on the intact family raising children. Religious thinkers and ordinary moms and dads knew this all along, of course. But Dr. Morse brought this common sense observation into direct contact with economic analysis. This discovery, which she fully develops in her seminal workLove and Economics, is the basis for all of her subsequent work promoting what are now called “socially conservative” issues. Dr. Morse earned her Ph.D. in Economics at the University of Rochester in 1980. She taught economics at Yale University and George Mason University. She has served as a Research Fellow for the Acton Institute for the Study of Religion and Liberty and has held fellowships at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution, Cornell Law School, and the University of Chicago’s economics department.
