Our President is a Jackass - “[I]nstead of calling for religious tolerance – as he would have if the shooter had been a muslim – the President instead demands gun control.” Last night, as the sun set over Washington, if you asked President Obama who had been brave that day, he’d have said himself, not the students who declared themselves Christians…

The One Question Someone Should Ask Barack Obama - The next time the President comes down from Olympus to receive the sacrifices and prayers of the American press corps, they should ask him just one question. This one: Mr. President, you had a majority of the House of Representatives and United States Senate for two years when Republicans could not block or obstruct you….

 

The Shooter Targeted Christians. But How Did He Get His Guns? - The media is willingly rushing to demand gun control after yesterday’s shooting in Oregon.

Despite a lot of bluster about Georgia turning purple, in 2012 and 2014, the Republicans held.

 

There are, unfortunately, a lot of warning signs that the days of the GOP are coming to an end. Greed and corruption have set in quickly. To be fair, many of the present Republican officeholders were Democrats and changed their party to stay in office. Now they view their offices as get-rich-quick schemes.
