Every week opensecrets.org highlights some group.  This week, in honor of President Obama declaring this month “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month”, opensecrets targeted the Human Rights Campaign: Among them. the Human Rights Campaign, which was founded in 1980 and boasts more than 1 million grassroots supporters, has some of the deepest pockets. During [...]

Recently was sent this link: That’s my image, here’s Townhall’s link.  Since I was a young boy, I hated NPR.  They’ve had a lifelong history of dumbing down content.  If they were reporting a war, you heard incessant gun fire in the background.  The noises alone drove me away.  It just struck me that they [...]

Juan Williams gets fired, George Soros donates $1.8 million pretty much the same day. Coincidence? Yeah.  Right. If NPR is going to sell itself to the highest “donor”, then I suggest maybe it go the route of all other broadcast media and we stop propping it up with taxpayer money.  Arguing that it’s unbiased because [...]

This email has been making the rounds according to snopes: This is a heads up regarding Progressive Auto Insurance. You know who they are. They’re the ones with the clever television ads featuring the perky brunette actress all dressed in white. What you might not know is that the chairman of Progressive is Peter Lewis, [...]

This weekend there was a rally in Washington, DC.  It was a pro-life rally.  There was also a counter-protest of abortion supporters.  CNN reported: According to Rick Sanchez, both sides were represented. He couldn’t really tell which side was best represented. He was standing in a crowd of about 300,000 pro-lifers and a couple of [...]

A fellow had this to say, among other things: ….we had already seen two tax cuts sold on massively, easily documented false pretenses; a war launched with constant innuendo about a Saddam-Osama link that was clearly false, and with claims about WMDs that were clearly shaky from the beginning and had proved to be entirely [...]

I have to admit, I had never heard the term “birther” before. I don’t watch tv much, so I guess that’s why. Dictionary.com doesn’t have a clue what “birther” is either. So, whenever a word is used I don’t know and dictionary.com doesn’t either, I go to urbandictionary.com. They of course have it. According to [...]

Hillary Clinton gave a 35:44 speech you can watch in its entirity at MSNBC: Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy Only thing about this speech is it was actually over an hour long. MSNBC cut off the last 34 minutes. That’s kind of understandable, it’s a very windy speech [...]

Today we’ll start one of the most annoying processes in politics I can think of.  Nominating a Supreme Court justice will bring us a week of guaranteed partisan political bickering and posturing.  No ifs, ands, or butts.  Guaranteed. Now, I don’t have that much of an issue with that aspect of it.  I just won’t [...]

On August 1, 2007, Obama posted on his site a long list of what he would do as President. Part of that included: …..This brings me to the fourth step in my strategy: I will make clear that the days of compromising our values are over. Major General Paul Eaton had a long and distinguished [...]
