  • Dave Ramsey Town Hall for Hope

    I am a HUGE Dave Ramsey fan. Dave's financial advice is on the spot 99% of the time. In fact, his no-prenup policy is the only advice of his I disagree with (I'll claim the high ground as the authority on the divorce industry- tyvm). Although I personally own single' [...]

  • Ridiculous with an exponent

    Capping off Angler's post....I have my own take.The only thing more laughable than DHS's report on "Right Wing Extremism" is CNN's coverage of it.I honestly tried to be offended by the report, but I'm more insulted by a process that would allow such a moronic document to ever see the' [...]

  • Depo of Homeland Spying zeroes in on the Pundit.

    Right Wing radicals beware! Radical ideologies such as Christianity, opposing illegal immigration, opposing abortion and federal taxes are cause of great concern for the fascists taking over America. Such radical ideas as the constitution and states rights will be dealt with by Big Sis and the Obamanation Fascists. Returning war veterans [...]

    Another great feature of being a conservative, as opposed to a water carrying partisan hack, is the ability to blindly apply metrics.I’m not buying into crediting Obama with ANYTHING to do with the pirate rescue this past weekend. In fact, short of issuing a personal apology directly to the pirates, [...]
