Please take a look at my new article at Pajamas Media, “Give Me Liberty or Give Me Social Justice.” The subject is health care reform, but the real subject is the threat to liberty represented by the left’s agenda and … Continue reading →
Iowahawk gives us all a Christmas present. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry! Just read it.
Continue reading →Yep, it’s a historic vote all right. A milestone (or is that millstone?)—setting a new record in partisan-driven, mendacious, incoherent legislation that ignores the will of the American people while affecting our lives in the most intimate of matters.
