With the nation in an economic crisis, Barack Obama is leading in the polls. I do [...]

According to the CDC, there have only been 3 cases of mad cow ever in the United States and none since early 2006. From what I can tell, not [...]
I just don’t get it. How do the Barbara Boxers of the world get elected and then continually re-elected? In defense of the global warming cap and trade bill which will cost taxpayers $6 TRILLION, she said,
Why do this [the Lieberman-Warner bill] now? We’re in a recession. Precisely because we’re in a [...]
It took him a while, but Obama finally quit the Trinity United Church of Christ after a 20 year membership. Apparently he didn’t quite get it when Jeremiah right proclaimed, “God Damn America” and suggested the government created AIDS to kill blacks. It took a white Catholic priest, Michael Pfleger channeling his inner [...]
