Liberals insist we are ONE mass of undifferentiated being. But, nothing they do or say can make it so. There is nothing ‘ordinary’, ‘common’, or ‘commonplace’ about a Michelangelo, Beethoven, an Einstein, etc.

All that the Liberals SAY is nowhere near the truth about the many and special differences between individuals! And that’s how it should be

OK, Mr. President, just fully honor the letter and spirit of the second amendment and we can talk about it. Give them a second chance, but allow US a defense!

It won’t be long before a “bi-partisan” effort is underway to give bonus hiring points to felons on federal job applications.

As long as they're all concentrated in DC, all we have to do is stay the **** away from there.

The elected criminals, who have the power to prevent the thuggification of the country, are on their own...

The bas-turd continues enacting crap that threatens our society and our lives.

Meanwhile, Congress sits back and does nothing.
