OBAMA IS A SPECIAL KIND OF STUPID Enough is enough, Mr. President. There's no "due respect" due you after pulling this stunt. Exploiting a sick, evil, ideological-driven attack on Americans to further your twisted anti-Second Amendment mission is disgusting. Today you're demanding an "explanation" from law abiding gun owners, but not demanding the same from followers of Islam, the religion behind this terror? If the demented Orlando terrorist doesn't represent all Islamic followers, then why do you insinuate he represents all gun owners? And why, after any shooting, do you always want to take away firearms from the innocent people...

.... “I was shocked to learn of the comment made by President Obama about Special Olympics,” Governor Palin said. “This was a degrading remark about our world’s most precious and unique people, coming from the most powerful position in the world. “These athletes overcome more challenges, discrimination and adversity than most of us ever will. By the way, these athletes can outperform many of us and we should be proud of them. I hope President Obama’s comments do not reflect how he truly feels about the special needs community.” ....

Just when you thought it couldn't get any uglier, it gets downright obscene. (I'm serious -- if you are easily offended, stop reading.) I had been remiss in not writing about a group I had joined recently. The gals over at the Susan B. Anthony List decided to start Team Sarah (www.teamsarah.org) -- a community for women to "gather" over the internet to discuss the campaign and show support for Sarah Palin, as well as John McCain. There is a message board, and you can post a profile, and even have your own blog within the community. There is also...

Sarah Palin responded to comments Barack Obama made on Wednesday when he told his supporters to try and persuade their friends to vote for him, “I want you to argue with them and get in their face” pressing that his backers “are the ones that can make my case.” Palin hit Obama and said that is not the politics of change, “He told them to get in your face and you know that doesn’t sound like the politics of hope or the politics of change to me,” Palin said. “What that sounds like is the worst of politics and earlier...

I worry Sarah Palin is going to force her faith on the American people. She has her own "pastorgate" brewing.

The state trooper at the center of Gov. Sarah Palin's "Troopergate" scandal denied yesterday that he ever threatened to kill Palin's father and expressed regret that his case has exploded into the national media. I would like to put this behind me and move on with my life," Trooper Mike Wooten said in an interview with The Washington Post. "I don't wish ill will on anyone. I think that the nomination that Sarah got is great for the state of Alaska. I wish her good luck and the family good luck. I honestly think that everyone involved in this wanted...

I’ve always known that the liberal elites were out-of-touch with mainstream America, but these last few days have been ridiculous. In Monday’s Baltimore Sun, Susan Reimer wrote: “Barack Obama was the editor of the Harvard Law Review, for heaven’s sake. And the best McCain can do is a woman who minored in poly-sci at the University of Idaho?” So, Susan, what is it McCain did that you have a problem with? Is it that he chose a woman as his running mate, or is it that he chose someone who did not attend Harvard as his running mate? I know...
