"We must have a foreign policy that is both strong and smart. Yes, the Republicans have been strong, but they haven't been smart. And the policy is one big mess, everyone knows it."

View Article  Now I've seen everything
    I know I have said that before, but it is now offical.  The pastor whose church is made up only of his very large family is at it again and this doesn't even make sense, just like most anything else the extreme right does.  I borrowed this next next text from CNN's website:

"I was with the Phelps family. They've launched a disturbing campaign to tarnish the funerals of fallen soldiers. This is a painful drama playing out at dozens of military funerals across the country. The group is led by Fred Phelps. He and his family have picketed ...   more »
