Apparently, the founder of RedState.com, Erick Erickson, one of the lead websites/bloggers in this country, must have watched Brad Pitt’s “Fight Club” in 1999. Erickson wrote a column last week about a new group of conservatives in Congress which he called the Conservative Fight Club.
Erick Erickson -- like a lot of conservatives -- has been trying to get the Republicans in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives to live up to their promise to defund ObamaCare. In his email last Wednesday, Erickson...
The headline of the top story in “The Washington Post” on Sunday was: “Stymied by a GOP House, Obama looks ahead to 2014 to cement his legacy.” What that means, in plain English, is that America will be in gridlock for at least the next two years. When the Republicans took over control of the House of Representatives in 2010, Barack Obama’s left-wing agenda was stopped in its tracks.
