How the Left Projects Their Hate on the Right
There is something disturbing about the vile treatment directed at conservatives in this culture. Usually, conservatives and libertarians are called “hateful”, “cruel”, “intolerant”, and so forth. Yet, for all of these attacks, it is not the Right that is intolerant. It is the the Left.

Senator Reid Should Be Careful What He Wishes For…
This past week, Sharron Angle won the Republican nomination to oppose Senator Harry Reid in his re-election bid in Nevada. This race has become a huge deal for both parties. Not only is Sen.
