In advancing your political views, there is a tactical difference between advancing “ideas” and “rhetoric”. An “idea” is a concept, which might be true or false, and may have a certain amount of merit. Or not. “Rhetoric” is language sometimes used in argument to advance one’s idea. The liberals confuse the two. In many, many […]

Dear Mr. Akin, I am not familiar with your positions and service to your state or our country, but I have heard about the unfortunate remark about rape. Please do not listen to those who are trying to convince you to stay in the race. They are wrong. You will not only lose by a […]
