CNN Lobs Softballs as Contributor Says GOP Isn't Fighting for Liberty

Ready to Join the Faith Dream Team

I stated a few weeks ago that I believe that former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and former Sen. Rick Santorum have shown the greatest passion for highlighting and fighting against the war on religion (specifically Christianity) being unleashed by the Obama administration and other secular progressives. They are also avid supporters of Israel. However, in light of the potential global clash…

Andrea Mitchell: Hillary Was Right--There Really Was A Great Right Win

Andrea Mitchell famously said she had to catch her breath after Foster Friess's Bayer aspirin line last week.  Well, call me a bit verklempt myself this morning, after Mitchell said on today's Morning Joe that: 1.

Current TV's Putzel Claims 'Much of MSM Mocked' OWS, Cites Only Fox Ne

Few people watch Current TV so perhaps Christof Putzel, correspondent of that channel's Vanguard show, thought he could broadcast a whopper on The 99 Percent episode about the Occupy Wall Street protests without being called on it.
