Seven minutes of the most repulsive Democratic hypocrisy broadcast since George Wallace....also a Democrat racist.

Why do you make this baseless assumption? In the form of an indictment of insensitivity?

If your idea of corroboration involves providing links from the internet.....then you’ll need to do the research, I have no interest being asked to...

Placing legal restrictions on abortion is from what I have researched largely ineffective and so it is a better argument to say women are forced into...

Well, Catherine, we have had the benefit of statistical analysis of the “program” since its inception in the 70s and it is patently obvious who has...

There is a difference between permitting it, condoning it and facilitating it. You and I have a fundamental difference of opinion as to what our...

As long as we have a Democratic Party which celebrates the ease with which a life can be terminated....none of the other profile participants above...

I seem to remember that their moralizing is protected by the first amendment and so is some hate speech against unborn children.

Part of the reason we have immigration laws and need to enforce them....and part of that are physical barriers.....is that cheap illegal labor drives...

Agreed, but I think both capitalists and socialists find reasons to justify false markets propped up by governments. Historically, subsidy markets...

I would rather neither. But at least Bloomberg would tell you what he is really thinking even if it is crazy whereas Schultz would blow sunshine up...

I would agree that the use of large agribusiness crops is more geared towards profit than what’s best for the health of the country but that goes to...

For my money, the root cause of all this angst and anger hangs directly around the neck of Hillary Clinton as a result of her “for the ages” choke in...
