I grew up in a day when there just weren’t a lot of options. My home of origin had three television stations, two grocery stores, and one Bible translation, the KJV.

Bill Whittle spells out what those greedy, fascist, racist republicans are after.
There’s massive fraud going on in the Scott Walker recall petition drive but few people seem to care. It has become accepted practice for democrats to lie, cheat, steal, and break the rules and plain sight – just part of their normal operating procedure.

A jury in Dearborn, MI has found Pastor Terry Jones guilty of attempting to incite violence for something he hasn’t even done yet. Jones is the Florida preacher who gained recent notoriety for burning a Koran, which supposedly forced some crazed Muslims to kill people in the Middle East. Continue reading
Conservatism is often described in the press as an idealogy defined by what it opposes. It’s actually more accurate to define conservatism by what it espouses, not what it rejects. Continue reading
Glenn Beck went into full rant mode this morning going off on Chris Matthews’ blasting Michele Bachman. Great fun to listen to (and watch). Watch it all the way to the end to hear Beck lampoon Matthews for possibly inciting violence against Bachman.
