The Left’s Evolution of Intolerance on Marriage
A few years back, the Democrat majority New Hampshire legislature strong-armed its caucus into passing “gay marriage.” No, it did not have the votes on the first pass. It failed. A few people took the day, a few flipped, and we were told no one was going to make churches perform them.
What Would You Do as President?
We start by asking former congressional candidate Jim Lawrence what he’d first do if he were president, which leads to getting congress to embrace reform, problems with fraud and EB-5 and HB-1 visas, the rigged game in general, and a lot more.
Adventures in Babysitting
J.Robert Smith has a good article at American Thinker on Republicans taking back the tax issue, and that is certainly true, but there were two things in particular that stood out to me… First, the current US tax code consists of almost 74,000 pages.

GrokTV Event – Seacoast Republican Women Congressional Forum – Question 2
Another question from the audience related to that big bug-a-boo from the Maker / Productive class (as opposed to the Taker / Moocher / Socialist class) – taxes? They see it as unfair that some are forced to pull the entire weight of the cost of government for all, and that it is used for behaviorial modification according to ideological grounds (instead of just evenly distributing the cost of a limited govt across all beneficiaries of that limited govt).
