In the name of tolerance and diversity, large numbers of regressives threatened the life of a 14 year-old girl named Sarah Crank. Her crime? Not agreeing with regressive attempts to destroy marriage. Here is her testimony… Here is a video highlighting the situation… Here is some additional coverage from Life Site News. After audio of her uncharacteristically mature testimony was posted on YouTube, the story went viral on homosexual activist websites—and death threats quickly followed. TFP Student Action, a Roman Catholic organization dedicated to traditional morality, recorded several of the most offensive threats in a press release. A commenter on [...]

Woman Dies From Botched Late-term Abortion, MSM Neglects Significant Coverage
If someone threatens am abortion clinic, it’s news, and part of the overall “war on women.” If a woman DIES from an botched later-term abortion procedure, it’s a non-story. Stacey McCain has been following such a story. Apparently, a woman died after a procedure performed by Dr. LeRoy Carhart, at a rather infamous clinic in Germantown, Maryland. Stacey has the rest… Jeff Quinton reports that the Washington Post has now broken the mainstream media embargo of this story. The Post‘s Dan Morse reports: The Maryland Office of the Chief Medical Examiner and the Montgomery County Police Department are investigating the [...]
The Evil Rich are Still Moving: Tax Induced Exodus from Maryland Continues
It’s wisdom that when taxes go up, people will go to great lengths to avoid the tax. However, the democrat narrative precludes reality, so they raise taxes anyway. We first covered that sad reality from Maryland in 2009… “Let’s go get those evil rich folks that are pooping on the little guy!” The class envy folks love saying things like that. When they get into power, as they are now, they attempt just that. Now, I could go into a long, drawn out description of why that is a terrible idea, but they won’t listen anyway. Instead, I’ll give an example, and [...]
Brett Kimberlin Update: Kimberlin Claims he was SWATted, Stacey McCain Delves Into “Team” Kimberlin
The Kimberlin story continues to develop in some interesting ways. I haven’t the time to keep up with it in real time, but I can relay you to the sources you need to keep up with the unfolding story. So, here is the latest. Stacey McCain is covering Kimberlin’s claim that he was SWATted as well… Lee Stranhan contacted police in Montgomery County, Maryland, who say no such thing ever happened. Now we can probably expect Kimberlin to claim that the cops are part of a right-wing conspiracy against him. The Blaze has some more on Kimberlin’s claim… Blogger Lee [...]
Breeding Tea Party Success
This old man has been waiting for positive news about what the Tea Parties have been doing for quite some time. After the Tea Parties demonstrated their enormous power in the 2010 elections, it seems that news of their continued activities dried up. Fellow bloggers have told me not to worry; that the Tea parties were busy working at the local and state level. Still I was not satisfied. It is hard on those of us who live outside of the US when there is no news. We don’t have face to face dealings with Americans every day and we don’t see the local [...]
High Cigarette Taxes Fail to Meet Expected Revenue Targets: Anyone Surprised?
Apparently, raising taxes on tobacco products is falling out of favor with state governments… According to Patrick Gleason, director of state affairs for the conservative Americans for Tax Reform, tobacco has not been the revenue boon states that have increased cigarette taxes had hoped. “The lack of interest in raising tobacco taxes this year can be attributed to the fact that tobacco taxes have indisputably proven to be a dubious and declining source of revenue,” Gleason told TheDC. “From 2003-2007, 16 of 59 tobacco tax hikes fell short of revenue projections.” Here in Washington D.C., for example, the city’s 2009 [...]
