Are Liberals Liberal?
I consider myself to be a die-hard “conservative”, and I often label the political opposition as “liberals”. As I recently pondered that liberal label, I began to wonder, are liberals really liberal?
Of course the answer to that question comes down to the meaning of the word liberal.
Pelosi Deserves a Big Pay Cut
The “sequester” we’ve been hearing about, that will force federal budget cuts across most federal agencies, will also include cuts to Congressional compensation.
Perhaps having their own bottom line threatened will get them to pass a budget. Hopefully a reasonable one. (I’m not holding my breath.)

Sadly, there are people almost as crazy as Dorner was who are trying to justify his actions, even calling him a hero [ref].

Dr. Benjamin Carson for President
If you’ve been reading Truth is Reason, then you know that I absolutely do not support Barack Obama’s presidency.
That does not make me racist, contrary to the ridiculous accusation that is frequently and unjustly applied to people like me who are ardently anti-Obama.
Frankly, I don’t care one iota what race someone is. I care about what the person believes in and stands for — the content of their character, not the color of their skin, as Martin Luther King preached [ref].
