Unsafe, Legal, and Not So Rare
Archbishop Timothy Dolan says, "Abortions in New York City should be 'rare.'" Those are the same words Bill and Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama use when trying to moderate their lethal stance on abortion. Obama, the most pro-choice politician in the history of America, said abortion should always be "safe [for whom?], legal, and rare" and that "families, not the government, should be the ones making the decision." Why, then, is a magnanimous government, headed by B...

Rush Limbaugh: If Obama Had Not Been African-American, He Would Never Have Been Elected
Rush Limbaugh touched on the fun subject of race on today’s show, using Ronald Brownstein’s article in the National Journal about the seeming exodus of whites from the Democrats as a starting point.

Roseanne Barr Calls Sarah Palin Our National Pom Pom Girl, Is Not An Obama Fan
Not too much has been heard from Roseanne Barr lately. The reason, she says, is that she’s been hard at work on a new book - Roseannearchy: Dispatches From the Nut Farm.

Democrats Becoming A Minority Party Comprised of Minorities
