Posted on by William Teach

Here we go: Darwin Foes Add Warming to Targets Critics of the teaching of evolution in the nation’s classrooms are gaining ground in some states by linking the issue to global warming, arguing that dissenting views on both scientific subjects should be taught in public schools.

Newsweek Claims “We The People” Are The Problem

Posted on by William Teach

In Gun Case, Washington Post Rewrites Intent Of Bill Of Rights

Posted on by William Teach

If there is any document out there that is more annoying to people on the Left, it is the Bill of Rights. To them, it is something to be used when it serves their purposes, and denigrated or ignored when it hurts their radical agenda. They read “rights” into it that are not there, and […]

Insurance is currently […]
