Girl Eats for First Time in Life

Socialized medicine in England found that this little girl had bulbar palsy. She had to be fed through a stomach tube.

Everyone loves ice cream. I love ice cream. Maybe hate groups love ice cream, too?"

Ann Coulter on Left's Bigotry

This commentary reminded me of that Maher piece I posted Feb 18. Why is the left allowed to act in a bigoted fashion?
Are we supposed to like gay people now, or hate them? Is there a Web site where I can go to and find out how the Democrats want me to feel about gay people on a moment-to-moment basis?
