Rick Perry can’t be President, he might upset the fringe Left!

    Seems the Lamestream Media is scared stiff that Texas Governor Rick Perry may run for President. Jennifer Rubin (the “conservative” blogger at the Washington Post) initially writes a piece rightfully decrying the New York Times Op-Ed about Perry speaking at the Prayer Response Event last week, then had an unfortunate piece criticizing Perry for not being inclusive: In his comments at the event, Perry specifically | Read More »

We recognize some of them easily: pro bono, en loco parentis, per se, and non sequitur among them. It is | Read More »
