What has happened to free speech in this country? It seems that there is something that offends someone every day.

The Confederate flag, after all these years, now has become a symbol of unspeakable evil.

And since the Supreme Court ruling on gay marriage, a Democrat in Congress wants husband-and-wife wording replaced with spouse. Ridiculous.

Illegal immigrants is no longer used to describe those who gain entry illegally in this country. They prefer to be called immigrants or undocumented workers, even though many have broken the law by sneaking into this country. I wonder how many of them are voting in our elections?
