Don't Ask, Don't Give
We are launching today a donor boycott of the DNC.It's really more of a "pause," than a boycott. Boycotts sounds so final, and angry. Whereas this campaign is temporary, and is only meant to help some friends - President Obama and the Democratic party - who have lost their way.

Yet, in Washington DC, the Bishops still have some kind of moral authority. It's warped and very disturbing. LGBT activists should be very worried. Because, the

Lieberman declares Ft Hood shooting an Islamic terrorist act with no conclusive proof
We have no idea what happened yet. But Joe Lieberman is already on FOX feeding hatred of Muslims, and national hysteria to boot. The man is an idiot. And he's sounding a bit of a bigot too.Sen. Joe Lieberman called the Fort Hood massacre an act of "Islamist extremism" - even as top Army brass warned Sunday against guessing at a motive, fearing backlash against Muslim soldiers."There are very, very strong warning signs here that Dr. Hasan had become an Islamist extremist and, therefore, that this was a te
