The right wing Christian conservatives have taken this as their anthem [...]

Earlier today, I commented on the phenomenon of those screaming loudest against Obama’s tax plans and complaining about tax-and-spend Democrats mentioning in passing that they’ve been the recipients of those social programs they decry. I didn’t realize at that point that the man who has come to symbolize the “common man” shared that hypocrisy with [...]

No, I’m not talking about the Republican party for a change.

It was at -best- a misrepresentation of a clause that assigned 20% of [...]

Hello. I’m calling for John McCain and the RNC because you need to know that Barack Obama has worked closely with domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, whose organization bombed the U.S. capitol, the Pentagon, a judge’s home and killed Americans. And Democrats will enact an extreme leftist agenda if they take control of Washington. Barack Obama [...]

So all right. I’m not an economist. I don’t have any letters after my name so I’m talking from a pure common sense perspective here.

You can help make it even more just by indulging in your need for chocolate. M&Ms is actually doing a great deal to help find a cure for breast cancer. They’ve [...]

Yesterday I posted the contents of a very creepy email that I received. I jumped the gun and I want to set the record straight. This morning, I went beyond checking out the web site of the supposed church listed in the email and did a search for Faith Covenant Ministries – which I should [...]
