Flag-burning amendment
The Senate rejected the proposed constitutional amendment on desecrating the American flag by one vote 14 Democrats voted for it. I’m at a loss for words… Burning a flag impinges on whose rights exactly? It offends people who fought for this country or people [Read More]
Six years ago, I actually liked Joe Lieberman
Now I hope he gets retired by Ned Lamont. And this new campaign aid from Lieberman’s camp is one of the most ridiculous political ads I’ve ever seen. Even if you have zero interest in this Connecticut senate race, the ad will awe you. [Read More]
