  • “The whole thing is noxious.”

    I hate to post this, but it is necessary. Republicans and conservatives need to be better…more accountable…than this garbage. We must have the moral high-ground…the “moral clarity”…that Mr. Erickson mentions below. Erick Erickson writes: [Paying to play in the Conservative Movement] is a problem on the left and the right, but only [...]

    bullsheet! I apologize, but that’s all I can say about the twisted illogic of Washington Sen. Patty Murray and the Senate Democrats on the hate-crimes amendment (S. 909)…conveniently attached to the defense appropriations bill.
