Obama's Nobel Prize-McCain Stole the Election
Isn’t interesting how all the major TV and cable networks (except balanced FOX), along with all of Hollywood (except Chuck Norris), the entire music industry (except country) all of academia (except economists) and all European Nations (including Canada ;-) are pushing for Obama and the polls are still close?! The Communist News Network (CNN) and ...

Hitchen's failure to understand Comparisons
When anyone asks you to compare two things A and B, they're always asking you to compare them relative to some criteria X. A comparison allows us to understand some quality of A by likening it to some quality in B.

Ferraro was right - why can't we say that?
What's so wrong about saying that Ferraro was right? Why does that make one instantly a racist? Let's look at the facts. Obama is only two years out of the Illinois state house.

Clinton's Camapign Proves She Is Not Who She pretends To Be.
