“At the end of the day, we don’t think gay Americans should have to rely on a benevolent corporation or government to provide a plan that meets their needs. We want a system where individuals and couples can make their own health-care decisions. Health-care needs are too important to be left to the discriminatory whims of a third party. When …

Not only does GOProud oppose a federal anti-bullying law, they are cloaking their support for school vouchers by claiming it would protect gay kids. In fact, what GOProud really wants is to further erode the crumbling public education system by having the government redirect funds to private religious schools. Or as in the case of the Santorums, pay the parents …

GOProud’s Jimmy LaSalvia says if we’d just pull all the gay kids out of public schools and learn ’em at home, then POOF!

“The left and their friends in the main stream media don’t want to talk about the issue most Americans in this country today care about – jobs. Instead, they want a culture war. They want a culture war because they cannot defend this President’s record of failure when it comes to creating jobs and growing our economy. They hope to …

In 2009 Samuel Werzelbacher, aka Joe The Plumber, infamously declared that he wouldn’t let gay people be around his children. Having just won his Ohio GOP primary for the U.S. House, this morning he appeared on CNN where he was asked if he’s evolved on gay issues. That prompted Werzelbacher to accuse the host of “gotcha” journalism and compared CNN …

“Despite the large delegate lead enjoyed by Governor Romney, other candidates in the field have made it clear that they intend to continue on. The question that Republicans, and conservatives in particular, must begin to ask themselves is whether continuing this process is in the best interest of our movement, the party and – most importantly – our country. “President …

“While the thought-police replace our language with words that advance their political aims, they’ve also mastered the misappropriation of others. Take the word ‘racist.’ It’s about the worst thing one can be called in our society. And it’s now being applied to those brave enough to speak out against Islamic fundamentalists.
