Freedom Under Fire
Hate laws, speech codes, blasphemy laws and the like are just plain wrong. They are as wrong as banning scarves or religious books as some in Europe wish to do.

Democrats: You Own it
Democrats: You Own it
A new ad on the Generational Theft Act of 2009 from the Republicans in Congress. While the production quality of this video has sunk from the polished efforts we saw in the campaign I like this because it is raw, gritty, and direct from the heart.
