First, the 10 counties in Western Washington that believe progress means destruction should be annexed to San Francisco. Then both annexed to Cuba. I believe the people living in these counties would be much happier living there so they don't have to put up with common sense, which they fight ...

Hate crimes, all of them! The anti-Christian liberals and secularists claim God has too many thou shall nots. I'd argue liberals have him beat one-thousand fold. The difference though is the liberals shalls are everything destructive to man.

First, Obama had no fears about abortion comments at Notre Dame knowing it is a liberal, non-Catholic university as with most Democratic politicians, Catholic-in-name-only whose board of trustees supported his candidicy for president.

Ted, you seem surprised. I'm not. The Dems in Washington State want transparency and accountability as much as Obama and the Dems in Washington, D.C. In otherwords, it's all talk. Dems say (and do) anything to gain power since their own political careers are always the most important thing to ...

In the 35 years since Watergate it now looks like child's play. Not only is corruption a mandate to obtain cushy federal government positions (look at most of Obama's nominees), but it is elevated to a virtue. Worse, our society has devolved from a civilized, moral people to a people ...
