Whatever Happened to The American Spirit?

I just had to post a little rant…a little food for thought. Feel free to argue with me if I’m missing something. Also note, that when I say “we”…I mean the collective “we” and certainly include myself in that.
So here we are, facing the biggest economic crisis of our generation.

A Historic Event?

Isn’t Dopey Dwarf the Chief Justice?

So we, the American people elected this idiot not once…………. but twice into office.

People honestly believe that McCain is a…no…I won’t use the “m” word.  McCain is still a republican.  He maintains the same core values & policies of the current administration.  Is he really going to bite the hand that feeds?
He constantly claims Bipartisanship [...]

By Kathleen Parker

If at one time women were considered heretical for swimming upstream against feminist orthodoxy, they now face condemnation for swimming downstream — away from Sarah Palin.
To express reservations about her qualifications to be vice president — and possibly president — is to risk [...]
