The audacity of this president never ceases to amaze me. It’s reached the point where he’s asking— and I’m trying hard to write this with a straight face… he’s asking newlyweds… to forgo their wedding presents… and instead, tell their guests to instead make a donation… to the OBAMA CAMPAIGN!!!
Really, this is the kind of thing

This Week on Winners and Losers
by Ronald A. Rowe June 27th, 2012 Winners & Losers
It was another eventful week on the political stage. Like a good episode of any quality drama, some answers were doled out while other questions were raised. Old friends and new faces came to the forefront. And, like a good episode of any quality drama, there will be more next week.
WINNERS:
Illegal immigrants in Arizona -
It's not illegal for you to try to get a job even if it is illegal for you to work in this country... um, OK. You don't have to carry your immigration papers. That part isn't surprising. We have a real thing about carrying

Zimbabwe Exposé Part IV: That’s Racist
by Jason Lightner June 26th, 2012 Independent Ideas
You know what's interesting about visiting a foreign land? You're an outsider, a stranger – a minority. You're not part of the crowd, and you stick out like a sore thumb.

After all, it's just a dollar.
Let me pose a question. Do you give a dollar to the homeless in this country? Do you? Don't lie to yourself. You know exactly what you do – you pretend you don't see the alcoholic Army vet on the median, holding
