This is an outrageous decision. This court decision also serves as a graphic illustration of the titanic struggle going on…

Barack Obama called us to our better selves yesterday. Never mind that! Here’s the latest new outrage from Obama’s pastor! FOX NEWS, CNN, MSNBC are all about to start playing new secret footage of Rev. Wright screaming: “If you lust after any woman grab a knife and gouge out your right eye and throw it…
