Folks, our country is heading down a slippery slope. We have to stop it before it is too late.

After the 2012 campaign, liberal journalists swarmed around Republican Party chair Reince Priebus offering what was called an “autopsy” on every way Republicans failed, with a special emphasis on more outreach to minority voters.

Terse AP Story Shows It Clearly Wants the Gruber Story to Go Away
As I noted yesterday, the Associated Press, aka the Administration's Press, finally broke down on Friday and mentioned the name "Jonathan Gruber" in a news story — a Friday afternoon item which, among other things, dishonestly attempted to distance the Affordable Care Act advisor from his long acknowledged and celebrated (until recently) "architect" role.
As of early this evening, the only other…

Tiger Woods Slams Fake Interview That Makes Him Look Like a 'Jerk'
While many attention-seeking celebrities would agree with the statement, “bad press is still press,” professional golfer Tiger Woods apparently does not. And he has good reason.

Appearing on "The O'Reilly Factor," Comedy Central star Jon Stewart said Democrats lost the midterms "Because they curled up in a little ball and tried to make sure that nobody hit them too hard...I don’t even know what they ran on....Right? Here’s what they ran on: ‘We don’t like Obama either. I don’t know who voted for him. We’ve got nothing to do with the guy.’”
