It’s one thing when you have communist Amy Goodman of Democracy Now! interviewing convicted computer hacker and communist activist Julian Assange on the U.S. government’s response to WikLeaks.

An earlier decent into progressive rule brought us the debacle of Prohibition. This generation’s dictatorial do-gooders aren’t focused on alcohol; they have it in for food.

One of biggest mistakes the Left has made during the Obama presidency is overplaying the race card. Not only do they play the card constantly, they’ve applied it to an ever growing circle of people.
