  1. Quote of the Day<\/a> – “”We are either going to go down the socialist road and become like Western Europe and create, I guess really a godless society, an atheist society. Or we’re going to continue down the other pathway where we believe in freedom of speech, individual liberties and that we remain a Christian nation.” The nonsensical voice of today’s GOP.<\/li>\n
  2. 31 GOP Senators Oppose UN Children\u2019s Rights Convention<\/a> – The US has an ego a mile tall when it comes to things like this.
