His words, not mine. The problem starts at the top. And when you have a commander in chief who has not been engaged and …

Tea Party candidates were universally trounced in yesterday’s GOP primaries. Last night, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell decisively beat his tea party challenger by 24 percentage points.

“I like to think of myself as a tolerant person. I have, however, one prejudice that is based on biology and history.

“Hey! Hillary’s brain is off-limits! Leave her health records alone! Democrats are right – scouring records of a female candidate is just politics of personal destruction, and for the media to engage in it would be unfair, unethical, and absolutely UNPRECEDENTED. You can’t probe a woman like that because, well, it’s a war on women! Bunch of sexist, big meanies …

Snork!

Nobody seems to have noticed that millions of teabaggers are in DC today to overthrow the federal government. Phase 1 – Field millions, as many as ten million, patriots who will assemble in a peaceful, non-violent, physically unarmed (Spiritually/Constitutionally armed), display of unswerving loyalty to the US Constitution and against the incumbent government leadership, in Washington, D.C., with the mission …

This weekend Sen. Marco Rubio declared that he doesn’t believe “human activity” is causing climate change. The Washington Post editorial board reacts: It is one thing to invite a debate about the best policy to address rising global temperatures, a problem no country can tackle on its own.

“Many Americans were grossed out by the spectacle of two men kissing on TV. Many were appalled by what was obviously a staged event to push an agenda. Over the last few years, the NFL has become much more of an arm of the political left. From the Baltimore Ravens pitching Obamacare to the NFL’s implied threats to move the …

An Arkansas GOP state senator wants to impeach the judge who overturned that state’s ban on same-sex marriage. How surprising.
