While there is hypocracy in all areas of politics from the far left to the far right, I find the right-to-life hypocracy among the worst as it affects our freedoms. I was surfing the web and discovered this article by Joyce Arthur which provides examples...
Yesterday evening, I was “Stumbling” through web pages when I came across Andrew Sullivan’ s The Daily Dish in TheAtlantic.com. I have seen Andrew on The Colbert Show a number of times and have not always agreed with him on the issues...
