Four Ways the Left Destroys American History
Happy Independence Day, or, as the left might call it this year, “Original Sin Saturday.” July 4th is when we celebrate the birth of The United States.

Salon: Hollywood ‘Gutless Weasels’ are ‘Scared of Gay Characters’

ABC Censors Conservatives As It Touts 'Loftiest' Marriage Ruling
On Friday, ABC's World News Tonight aired a completely one-sided report on the Supreme Court's ruling that legalized same-sex "marriage" in all 50 states.

Politico Mag Writer Says 'It’s Time to Legalize Polygamy'
The left routinely ridicules "slippery slope" arguments from sensible people who recognize that when you establish a dangerous principle or precedent in one area, the fallout will spread to others.

Most advocates for same-sex "…

Politico Columnist: Putting a Woman on the $10 Bill 'Isn't Worthy'
One of the latest in a seemingly endless stream of missives from the perpetually aggrieved comes from Ruth Graham at the Politico, which seems to have become an especially fertile repository for such ridiculous items.
Mr. Graham is completely unimpressed that Obama administration Treasury Secretary Jack Lew has announced that the image of a famous woman to be named later will soon grace the $10…
