But, paradoxically, her defense of individual freedom … Continue reading

Obama’s War on Women

On Friday, the Obama campaign released a new ad on YouTube, entitled “Republican Women for Obama.” This latest foray in the “war on women” political strategy is out of touch with the American people, false, and manufactured. The ad featured five women, the first of which claimed to have been a “lifelong Republican.” Nevertheless, the … Continue reading
