Brains, Sound Doctrine, and Girded Loins

Small as […]

Dems and Nazis
We give Dems too much grace! We fail to call them out as a (morally) completely degraded party. We act as if they are still a legitimate option for whom any citizen may rightfully vote! But the moral truth is that no Democrat may be regarded as a legitimate option. It must be remembered that […]
