So was Cruella a capitalist? I don't know, but I'm sure we could all agree she was clearly a conservative. She wanted to kill puppies for their furr. And she was white. So there you have it. Heh.

Something called Snoop Doggy Dogg was frequently seen rolling down the street, while smoking "Indo," sipping on Gin and Juice, and getting paid.

The symbols, which are prominently displayed outside the school, have prompted questions about the appropriateness of images like a hammer and sickle and a marijuana leaf on school grounds — and have led critics to say they are blatant proof of political indoctrination of young children.

However, this plague does not attack the glands and rot the flesh, as did the Black Death, but instead it clouds the mind and hardens the heart.

If Obama is a liberal (and he is), then he will pursue liberal policies, and those policies will fail. You can set your watch by it. It is one thing to assume (at least, for the sake of argument) that a liberal like Obama desires what is good for America.

It’s more typically “ex-navy man commits….

Just like the ones we were warned about in a certain famous report from the federal government labeling conservative veterans as potential terrorists. The most sickening of these came from Shep Smith at Fox News who spent his whole program using the shooting as a way to confirm the report had been accurate. Now we are learning that Von Brunn hated conservatives, and may be a registered Democrat. The fact that he was a truther should have spelled this out to everyone.

In America there will be about 290 million people who will likely not be rushing out to observe this month long celebration. Barack Obama proclaimed June as LBGT month saying he has partnered with the gay community to “Advance a wide range if initiatives.” He plans to enhance hate crimes, repeal “don’t ask – don’t tell in the military and advance the right for gays to adopt.

This year has been Misogyny Mania for liberals who claim to be “pro-woman.” First there was the character assassination of Miss California Carrie Prejean, in which liberals thought a deft response to her anti-gay marriage comments was to call her a slut. By saying that marriage should be between a man and a woman, Prejean did nothing more than restate the official position of Barack Obama, Joe Biden, John Kerry, Bill Clinton—and every other male politician liberals adore. There’s no doubt that Prejean’s femininity determined how the media treated her. As Miss...

Obama had no idea at the time what closing the facility meant, a characteristic common to so many of his campaign ideas. This is a result of his lack of experience in virtually any meaningful endeavor that would prepare someone to serve his country as its president.
