Thumbnail image for How Stupid Must We Be?
By 01 27th, 2012

I sat through the president’s entire State of the Union speech Tuesday evening. I’ll probably get some kind of award for doing that because the TV ratings were the lowest for an Obama SOTU speech to date. It was on par with the ratings for George W’s last one in ...

The country is more divided now that at any point in my lifetime, including the 60′s when anti-war protestors incited violence all over the country. I was just a kid then, but I remember vividly the images on television of wounded soldiers coming home from Vietnam, shootings at Kent State ...
