…Congress warned AIG execs to return their millions in bonuses – or face a possible new law taxing those payouts at up to 100%. “They should voluntarily return them.

Secretary Clinton wants to use the hysteria over climate change to remake society. Never waste a good crisis, she declared.

A Michigan man found some passages in some Bible translations “emotionally distressing because they did not endorse homosexually. Once upon a time Americans believed the cure for speech they didn’t like was more speech that they did like. This is why I am skeptical of the expansion of hate crimes laws. They can be used [...]

In case you missed it, I must inform you that news has broken that we don’t have an immigration problem. We have a language problem. Senator Barack Obama said yesterday that “instead of worrying about whether immigrants can learn English,” Americans “need to make sure your child can speak Spanish”. 83% of Americans don’t quite [...]

The Liberal controlled Congress is at 9% approval, but the NRA is at 56% approval. No wonder we will be more likely to see Senator Obama with a rifle than Harry Reid.
