What do you get when you cross a black person, a Republican, and a Church of Christ preacher?
Whether or not it sounds like the beginning of a bad joke, what you really get is Herman E. Wesley, a black Church of Christ preacher from Montgomery, Alabama who is making news by trying […]
It’s a sad state of affairs when America has to look to the likes of Matt Stone and Trey Parker for some backbone in defending freedom of speech against the islamofascist onslaught. The Cartoon Jihad scared too many Americans into self-censorship — a first step toward dhimmitude.

I’ve taken a day off of work today. The federal government is opening two hours late due to the snow.
