Most of us knew back during the election that ACORN–ostensibly a non-partisan community organization that also does voter registration–was deep in the pocket of Barack Obama and the Democrat Party.

I have had some really amazing discussions on airplanes, when a small white Bible seems to become a controversy. For instance — “You Christians believe you know it all.” Then [...]

John W. Whitehead Political correctness—a philosophy that discourages diversity of viewpoints—has become a guiding principle of modern society. If someone might be offended, freedom of speech is erased. Nowhere is this more evident than in the schools, especially when religion is involved. Things have gotten so ridiculous that the mere mention of God is enough [...]

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has been painting herself into a very tight corner for the past week or so, but she is almost completely out of room.

If the Republican Party wants to fire up the base and win big again like John McCain did (and win big like the GOP did in congress in 2006 and 2008), then they should just keep on listening to advice from liberals. From our friends at Americans for Limited Government.
