I’m just thrilled those of us who live in the backwaters of Minnesota will be privileged to become part of the “Occupy” movement. It is a joy to think we too can have an assortment of anarchists, communists, indoctrinated students, socialists, and just plain nuts filling our public spaces. Really, I am truly excited because I’m a huge fan of free speech. I truly believe | Read More »

I’ve argued in the past, and will continue in the future, that we cannot let the Left and the Party-run media define us. We also cannot let them get away with lying all the time.
