We need to start drawing lines in the sand domestically over treason. We are still very much at war, much of it trying to bring us down from within. There are laws on the books—apply them!

DeMint supports Romney. Our gay senator, Lyndsey Graham, supports McCain. I’m just sayin’.....

Is Graham gay or is that just tongue and cheek? I have always wondered...

This attempt by Sen. DeMint is praiseworthy.....but futile.

I wonder how much China would pay us for the Bay Area.

Why would they buy that cow when its milk is free?

The rumors have been circulating for years. It’s one of the things that really pissed me off when he said anyone who opposed JMcCain’s amnesty bill was a small-minded bigot: had the people of SC been small-minded bigots, the little queen would never have gotten elected in the first place.

, advising them that the Marine recruiting office is not welcome in our city, and if recruiters choose to stay, they do so as uninvited and unwelcome intruders;

Absolutely unbelievable !!!

Be careful what you ask for Berkley, you may just get it. Personally, I'd tell you to f*** off next time you needed something, unfortunately, the Marines are too professional to do that.

“We need to start drawing lines in the sand domestically over treason.”

I couldn’t agree with you more, and I will never understand why it’s not being done with great diligence.

I hope California secedes. I don’t care that they are the fifth largest economy in the world. We’ll make up the difference somehow.

San Francisco has long been one of very favorite cities.But, I just have resisted going there for years because of their communistic approach to every aspect of what made America great. When even my moderate-leaning son chose not go to Grad School at Berkeley because it was “too liberal”, I was immensely gratified.
The closing of the Presidio was the last straw for me!

I’d bet there’s more conservatives in California than in your state. This Web site is in California.
