Fatherless homes If you count a generation as spanning 20 years, then approximately 36 percent of the American generation born from 1993 through 2012 - which has begun turning 21 this year and will continue turning 21 through 2033-were born to unmarried mothers. That does not count the 40.6 percent of babies born in 2013 who were also born to unmarried mothers. In fact, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, at least 40 percent of the babies born in each of the last six years - 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 - were born to...

I’m tired of hearing the nonsense that the Republican Party has been taking over by the far right, and that the Democratic Party is the “moderate” party. It is simply not true. The Democratic Party is the party that has changed, not Conservatives. God, Liberty, defense spending, and patriotism is all in JFK's inauguration speech. Today's Democrats don't talk this way.

I need some help finding some Democrat Party leadership who are considered DINO's. The last one I remember being a prominent leader was Joe Lieberman, but he's been kicked out of the party.

John Mcain Mitt Romney John Boehner Mitch McConnell Olympia Snow Scott Brown...

I just read a Robert Downey Jr. biography written by Ben Falk. Downey didn't help with it, but it was still entertaining. Downey supported Mel Gibson when Hollywood turned on him, and he has this quote from a 2008 NYTIMES article. “I have a really interesting political point of view, and it’s not always something I say too loud at dinner tables here, but you can’t go from a $2,000-a-night suite at La Mirage to a penitentiary and really understand it and come out a liberal. You can’t. I wouldn’t wish that experience on anyone else, but it was very,...

It's the new normal. (CNN) -- A transgender rights group announced Wednesday that it has filed a discrimination complaint in Colorado on behalf of a first-grader who was born a boy but identifies as a girl. The filing stems from a decision announced last December by officials at Fountain-Fort Carson School District that Coy Mathis could no longer use the girls' bathroom at Eagleside Elementary. Mother Kathryn Mathis said she and her husband were shocked. "We were very confused because everything was going so well, and they had been so accepting, and all of a sudden it changed and it...
