Leftists: Being Pro-Life Is Selfish, Good People Endorse Murder

Who cares about her?  Not Barbara Boxer or Linda Hirshman.

Hollywood Newspeak: Islamists Good, Americans Bad, It’s a Bum (W)Rap

Really, why does President Obama refuse to use the words “Muslim” and “terrorist” in the same sentence?

When I heard the news that a vote on Puerto Rican Statehood was set to take place tomorrow, my heart stopped. I couldn’t process the fact that this rather transformational news did not reach my ears until the day before it was to be voted on. It reminded me of that awful dream where you realize that [...]

Thompson and Pataki Won’t Run but GOP Can Still Take Senate

In disappointing news for Republicans, Tommy Thompson and George Pataki have decided against running for Senate in Wisconsin and New York respectively. The latter appears to have turned down the challenge so he can lay the groundwork for a 2012 presidential bid—which shows that Pataki is so out-of-touch with reality that he did his party [...]
