Black Conservatives Aren't Really Black?

As far as left-wing Democrats are concerned, black conservatives aren't really black. To Democrats, black is a state-of-mind, not a color, and the only acceptable state-of-mind for an African American is that of a perpetually embittered, aggrieved victim of white racism.

Democrats attempt to set legal framework to sue the gun industry out of existence

Well, most of the Democratic 2016 field supports this, as do anti-gun activists, so it's no surprise that some members of Congress are trying to gut the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act in 2005 (via the Hill):  Gun manufacturers could be sued by victims of gun violence under new legislation from Democrats.Read more at Hotair.com Read More......

The Democrats' Demise, the Republicans Rise

"It's a great day to be a Republican in California!"

Again: Senate Democrats Mount Third Filibuster Against Bill to Pay Troops, Fund Military

Senate Democrats launched a third consecutive filibuster of the bipartisan defense appropriations bill yesterday, once again blocking consideration of legislation that would fund the United States military and pay members of our armed forces. Yes, it's okay to be thoroughly perplexed by this development.
