Instead of always taking incoming fire, how about Republicans start sending some back? It's great that they stopped HillaryCare, but if they had actually fixed health care by forcing health insurance plans to be sold in a competitive free market, there would have been no opportunity for shyster Democrats to foist Obamacare on us.
It's fantastic that we caught the Boston Marathon bombers, but…

Imagine That: As Obama Denies Its Importance, AP's Ohlemacher Identifi
Well, it's not perfect, but it's a start — and it's certainly a far cry from what President Obama is now willing to admit.

Liberal Media Desperately Playing Word Games to Dismiss 'Knockout Game
Whenever liberals are in a tight spot, they adopt the scorched-earth policy of argumentation. With no answer, they start demanding that you define words: What do you mean "liberal"? What do you mean "democracy"? What do you mean "patriotism"?
