Schools insist that everything is under their purview - what your kids eat, what they believe, what they say on the playground.

Success: When you make more money than the rest of us, it hurts our feelings.

We simply have to reign in the piggish people and money-hungry lawyers who chase every ambulance they see and expect companies and individuals to pay for everything that goes wrong.

Believe me, I bash liberals for being mean-spirited and angry, but there are plenty on my side who are the same way.

I think you can be conservative and fight for what you believe in without being mean-spirited or bash people or be ugly about it.

You can't be part of the unum, to a liberal. You always have to be a pluribus.

The Great Seal has got it all - everything liberals despise is there, front and center.

After watching the shrill reaction from liberals to the George Zimmerman verdict, I am reminded about why I'm proud to be a conservative.

Picture what this country felt like in the weeks and months after 9/11. Can you imagine anyone even beginning to allow an advertising campaign promoting Islam, being endorsed and supported by a man the feds believe to be a terrorist, on New York City subways?

Sharing bad news with strangers is most certainly a selfish act.

I'm the kind of guy who likes to have a little friendly banter, even with someone I disagree with.

I'm not brave. Far from it.
