I’m not sure what’s more painful to watch: Hillary’s wildly over enthusiastic fake smiles early in the video or her clumsy, rhythm-less dancing, which occurred soon after. Either way, it’s like a truck full of chickens running off the road and crashing into the middle of the world’s largest ant-hill; it’s horrific and you’re just […]

I’ve never been a fan of John McCain. Not only is he not a conservative, he may have done more damage to the conservative movement than any other Republican over the last few years.
