Democratic Candidate: I’ll Support Israel Because That’ll Be Politically Helpful
Democrats publicly supporting Israel for political reasons is nothing new. They just don’t usually post the explanation in campaign emails. Meet Kate Marshall, Democratic nominee for Nevada’s 2nd congressional district. She’s facing an uphill battle in a district Republicans have historically win by somewhat comfortable margins. Apparently she decided that pandering on Israel would be [...]

As Obama Golfs and Fundraises, Team Obama Attacks Boehner for…Golfing and Fundraising

Best end of civilization ever. Please, liberals and libertarians, please tell me this is a line even you aren’t willing to cross. The decriminalization of pedophilia in order to promote tolerance of pedophilia — that must be a social experiment too crazy even for you.
