As stated recently by one of their leaders, the GOP defines democrats as "the enemy" and their stated goal is to prevent any and all successful democratic programs in order to regain control of congress and ultimately the White House. I do hope that all citizens of good will remember their traitorous stance for a long time to come. It is not enough that their party destroyed the world economy and thrust us into unending war. They want another chance to finish the job. It's time the voters finish them and send them into the political wilderness, where they belong.

Liberals call Republicans “ruthless tribalists” for refusing to be yes-men to the Democratic Party's agenda … but amazingly, the same disparaging tag is never applied to Democrats who similarly stand in unison against Republican issues, such as the amendment requiring citizenship checks in the health care bill.

These critics have no tolerance for any viewpoint that doesn't march in lockstep with their own.

And why shouldn't Johnsen have to answer for what she wrote 20 years ago? Haven't Democrats held Bob McDonnell's feet to the fire for a thesis he wrote in 1989?

As the Obama administration has shown us, “freedom of speech” is defined as “the freedom to agree with our point of view.” Right, Humana?
