Even Dems Sour on ObamaCare Disaster

WH Science Czar: We Need To Rebrand Global Warming

Posted on by William Teach

First we had “global warming,” a proposition that Mankind’s release of greenhouse gases, mostly CO2, was causing the Earth to warm.

Posted on by Donald Douglas

That’s Molly Norris of Seattle. She was placed on an “execution hit list” by fanatical Islamist Anwar al-Awlaki. FBI recommended a change of identity and complete relocation and seclusion.

Hanoi John Kerry as Secretary of State

Posted on by Dave Blount

It only seems like the collection of radical leftists, slippery lobbyists, and tax cheats who comprise the Obama Administration could not possibly get any worse.

Burning The Koran Is Unconstitutional? Says Who? Only A Supreme Court Justice

Posted on by John Hawkins

We don’t live under the Constitution in this country anymore. Instead, we have conservative judges who follow the Constitution and liberal judges who take whatever position is currently fashionable on the Left, and then they call that Constitutional law. In other words, justice isn’t blind in this country, it’s random. If you want a great […]

The big story from last night was, of course, Christine O’Donnell’s victory over ultra-RINO Mike Castle in what may have been the biggest festival of jackassery in years.

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

When the GOP started attacking Christine O’Donnell fiercely a couple weeks back, I figured she must be up in the internal polling. In fact, I figured she’d win.
