WELCOME BACK!





We've been on a short hiatus, concentrating on our daily posts at our Facebook Page.





Due to the demands of that daily posting we've decided to share just one more post for now as we concentrate our efforts on Facebook - at least until the 2016 Election.





This post is a large collection of pre-Election quotes from prominent Conservatives to show the skeptical that Conservatism is iniquitous and malignant and that Conservatives are by definition mean, crazy, as the sheer volume of these quotes. reveals..although we should requote the maxim: "The Republican Party is made up of a few smart people and a whole lot of stupid ones."





In the meantime, be sure to visit our Facebook Page each and every day for stories, opeds, 'toons, and memes that we hope will inform, educate, and entertain you at:
