t was not surprising that Rev. O’Neal Dozier, the spiritual leader at the WorldWide Christian Center in Pompano Beach, Fla., endorsed Rick Santorum in the Florida primary campaign earlier this year. Dozier and Santorum are both rabid anti-gay activists who have made offensive statements about gay people that are so nutty that they would be [...]

The Republican presidential primary has produced an unprecedented number of frontrunners — candidates who surged in the polls for a while and then faded after they were vetted by voters. Pundits say that this phenomenon — a first in the history of American presidential campaigns — is due to the fact that Republican voters do [...]

Not since Justin Bieber’s biopic, “Never Say Never” has an autobiography been so premature. But first-term Sen. Marco Rubio isn’t letting lack of material keep him from writing a full-length, in-depth look back at his life: all 41 short years of it.
Rubio’s main accomplishment so far has been being born at the right time with [...]

The most unlikely source of news presents an unlikely call by a very unlikely person: FOX News allows “total fraud” charge by Juan Williams.

74%

Americans 65 and over who prefer the greeting, “Merry Christmas” to, “Happy holidays.” Among those 18 – 30, 50% say they prefer the former, according to a poll from Marist commissioned by the Catholic group Knights of Columbus.

Apparently Florida Senate candidate and former fill-in Sen. George LeMieux didn’t get the memo. He sent supporters and those on his email list a message entitled “Happy holidays” with a link to this “Happy holidays” video, in which he takes 24 seconds to wish everyone, whether they are celebrating Christmas or Hanukkah, a happy holiday.

Of American adults are married, a record low. The numbers are even lower among young people. In 1960, nearly 60% of adults age 18 to 29 were married. Today, the amount is 20%. The Pew Research study doesn’t count same-sex marriage, but includes a “family” category for gay couples raising children.
