A lesbian is attacking the Catholic Church because a priest denied her communion at her mother’s funeral. Liberals are outraged that the church would act like a church.

Rick Santorum is getting hammered because of his social issues message. Critics say that he should be talking about the economy and not contraception and abortion. When a candidate gives a speech, he talks about a lot of things. Members of the media pick and choose what to concentrate on.

“To sit back hoping that someday, some way, someone will make things right is to go on feeding the crocodile, hoping he will eat you last — but eat you he will.” — Ronald Reagan Ronald Reagan was the consummate collector of great quotations. The one about the crocodile was

On February 26th, Rick Santorum defended a statement he made last October in which he said that he “almost threw up” when he read John F. Kennedy’s 1960 Houston address on the role of religion in public life. As a presidential candidate Kennedy gave a major speech to the Greater

In 2008, the New Mexico state Human Rights Commission ruled “that an Albuquerque wedding photographer discriminated against her would-be client by refusing to shoot a same-sex commitment ceremony.” Elane Photography was ordered to pay attorney’s fees of $6,637.93 for the discrimination. Let’s understand the new discrimination standard: It is wrong

Tim Geithner serves as the Treasury Secretary under President Obama. He was previously the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. You may recall that Mr. Geithner had some trouble during the nominating process to his present position. It was revealed that he had not paid $35,000 in

Last week, the French Parliament voted for Nicolas Sarkozy’s “Robin Hood tax.” The tax will be “on high-finance transactions and currency trades by banks and institutions.” Sarkozy hopes it will lead to France becoming the first European Union country to adopt such a levy.

Rick Santorum gave a speech in Detroit on February 16th, 2012 on the topic of economics from a conservative point of view. As usual, the liberal media pulled an out-of-context paragraph and then gave it their own Leftist interpretation: “I’m not about equality of result when it comes to income

The following is part of a speech that Pres. Harry S Truman gave on November 3, 1949 in St. Paul, Minnesota, as part of the city’s “Truman Day Celebration.” It shows that our government has been trying to promote the “General Welfare” through wealth redistribution for a very long time.

“Blameshift: a process in business and government wherein the blame for something bad is shifted from person to person.” Blameshifting has a long and inglorious history. When Adam fell into sin, he blamed his wife and eventually blamed God: “The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave

Reports are coming in that the voter rolls have been faked. We knew that the voter rolls were padded in places like Chicago, but now we’re learning that the fraud is more widespread than we ever could have imagined. The question is, can we do anything to stop it? In

Most kids growing up in the 1950s and 1960s either took a “brown bag” lunch to school or brought one in a metallic square box. Those lunch boxes have become collector’s items. Some sell for more than a $1000. If there’s a working thermos, it’s even more. I saw kids

Jack Lew is President Obama’s Chief of Staff. He made the talk-show circuit on Sunday and lied, lied, and lied about who’s to blame on the budget impasse. If he’s not lying, then he doesn’t know how our government operates and this would make him incompetent. Lew is trying to

54% of Catholics voted for Obama in 2008. Now the Catholic Bishops are screaming bloody murder because of contraception mandates. Maybe it’s only the 46% that didn’t vote for him who are doing the screaming. What about the Catholic bishops? They got behind Obamacare like they got behind every so-called
