I just got back from one of many gatherings across the country where freedom-loving citizens watched a live Webcast hosted by Americans for Prosperity.

It's the equivalent of sticking your fingers in your ears and saying loudly, "La la la la la... I don't want to hear that... La la la la."

If in doubt, to see who is on the right side of a debate and who is on the wrong, just observe the tactics they employ.

Just a few short months ago conservatives across the country were shouting down senators at Town Hall meetings... is this any different?

The children are acting like their parents, most of whom behave as if they never grew up.

My wife is a Carolina grad and she was saddened by the rude immaturity and incivility at this event.
