    The left has figured out how to successfully push through its agenda by using one simple tactic: demonizing the right. Even if there is no truth to the cruel labels, the left has figured out they work. Repeat the words "bigot,” "hate,” "sexist" and "intolerant" enough and they will start...

    For years, the right has been frustrated by the left’s ability to unite various interest groups successfully as a force.

    All too often, instead of being the keepers of the law, state bar associations flagrantly violate the law instead.

    Although racism has been gradually decreasing in the U.S., the left is attempting to portray it as rapidly expanding in order to keep minorities voting for Democrats. It’s Barack Obama’s legacy.

    With all the attention brought recently to the politically motivated prosecutions of the DOJ, culminating in the high-profile Supreme Court exoneration of former Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell, you would think prosecutors would start backing off on dishonest witch hunts against prominent Republicans.
