So much for references to ABC Pest Control, Victor mousetraps, Hormel foods, and (drum roll please . . . wait for it . . . wait for it . . . ) Planned Parenthood.

There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Can any mention be made of censorship or agenda setting? I didn't see that listed...

I recommend they merely speak of Republicans.

That will get the base going.
