    Good to have you back in the fold. No doubt your holiday season will be especially bright with your son back home. Please make sure he's aware that there are many of us who appreciate his service and patriotism.

    "Dream Act" immigration bill blocked in Senate

    That is the false premise so often used to justify this amnesty. The fact that they are HERE ILLEGALLY is reason enough to ship them back where they belong.

    This is just a last minute gesture by BHO and the Democrats to appease their liberal base, and of course there were a handfull of Republicans that will go along to show their "bipartisanship". As Greg pointed out, the normalization of homosexuality has been going on for a generation now...

    Limbaugh calling out Republicans?

    Why would you want to impose a huge increase in taxes on the American public with the economy still in recession and unemployment hovering just below 10%? Cut spending - agreed, we need a big dose of that. Crack down on corruption - with politicians - good luck. Getting the Congress to only vote...
