The tea partying fringe has new standards for their candidates. They are very specific about how a Republican candidate must think in order to be acceptable to their new GOP.

It is no less than the kind of “purity” test a GOP candidate might expect if they were applying for a leadership position in the “Sons of the Confederacy.” The last time we saw a political party demand ideological purity...

Papantonio: The Change Myth

Posted by | Dec 10, 2009 | |

President Obama ran a campaign based on “Change”, but after almost a year in office, we have to ask if anything has really changed.

Glenn Beck Proves Carbon Dioxide Is Safe

Glenn Beck Proves Carbon Dioxide Is Safe

Posted by | Dec 9, 2009 | |

With the Copenhagen climate talks under way, Glenn Beck wants America to know that he is not happy with Barack Obama or the Environmental Protection Agency. He is not happy that the EPA has said that Greenhouse gases “threaten the public health and welfare of the American people” and that the pollutants – mainly carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels – should be regulated under the Clean Air Act. On his radio show, Glenn claimed that because carbon dioxide is exhaled when he breathes, that carbon dioxide is, therefore, safe. But Glenn didn’t stop there. As you will see in this exclusive video,...
