Has the GOP turn their back on the religuos right? Can the GOP win without them?
TH-I don’t see glee oozing from between every comma in David Kirkpatrick’s New York Times magazine article this past weekend on the “evangelical crackup.” He’s a good reporter, whose coverage of conservatives I regard as generally well balanced. On the […]

No Child Left Behind is a failed program—bottom line! This one-size-fits-all education program is destroying our country!
MSN- It’s a nickname no principal could be proud of: “Dropout factory,” a high school where no more than 60 percent of the students who start as freshmen make it to their senior year. That description fits more than […]
