Sandra Fluke Is Simply The Latest Excuse For Liberals To Get Conservatives Off The Airwaves

If Sandra Fluke thinks her far left comrades really care about her, perhaps she should ask Cindy Sheehan about her own 15 minutes of Liberal fame. Once Cindy became old news and inconvenient, she was unceremoniously dumped by the hard left. The Left is simply using Fluke as a means to attempt to get Rush […]

ACLU On Targeted Killing: We’re Cool With Obama, But, We Don’t Trust Future Presidents

On first blush, I wrote the headline to reflect that it was weird for the ACLU to even attack Holder and Obama. How often do they do that? Not that often, and, the attacks are generally soft.

Obama Reinforces Stance On Unconstitutional Contraceptive Mandate

It boggles the mind why Obama would want to pick this fight with Catholics, which also means Conservatives, Tea Party members, Republicans, and the 60+% of Americans who oppose ObamaCare get riled up again, in an election year. Democrats, including Obama, avoided mentioning ObamaCare during the 2010 mid-term elections in the same manner people avoid […]

An Obama Compromise On ObamaCare Contraception Requirement?
