Faulty Ideas About Marriage

Political junkies will remember how former Indiana Gov.

Obama hasn’t been on the campaign trail much either, […]

Theater of the Absurd in Ferguson, Missouri

What reminded me of this is now “playing” in Ferguson, Missouri, following the […]

Hard Left Teachers Union President Karen Lewis Owns Three Homes

Karen Lewis, the grotesque personification of teachers unions who has managed to politicize even mathematics, has it in for the wealthy. Here she is spewing demagogic communist lies at an Occupy Wall Street infestation: Astute observers will note that it is not public institutions that create wealth, but private citizens. If her point of view […]
