Nothing says the gubmint should stay the hell out of the people’s business quite like the State policing uteri in vitro.

If you only you knew Mittens as a pretend gangster wielding a gat busting caps in people’s heads. It’s adorable! [Read more…]
I wouldn’t make too big of a deal out of this. Hell, I’d expect the non fundamentalist all American candidate to beat the pants off the separatist cult pandering to fundies, misogynist, and racists on anything approaching equality and tolerance: [Read more…]
