Well, the Supreme Court has done it again. In its latest decision, the court has demonstrated that we need at least three more Antonin Scalias on the bench. (The way the Democrats filibuster, that will likely never happen, unfortunately.) For those of you who are unfamiliar with the latest court ruling, Davey was a college […]
For the past few days, the city of San Francisco has been passing out fake marriage licenses to gullible gay couples. "Progressives" are lauding the act of "civil disobedience."
