50 Years After ‘The Day The Music Died,’ A Boy Finally Met His Long, Lost Father

-By Warner Todd Huston

It has been 60 years since the plane carrying rock stars Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and Jiles Perry “The Big Bopper” Richardson crashed into an Iowa cornfield on Feb. 3, 1959. It was memorialized as “The day the music died,” but the story has been a life-long event that haunted the world of the Big Bopper’s son, a boy who never met his famous father. But that total estrangement ended 50 years after the crash when that meeting finally took place in a strange but beautiful way.

The boy who was born two months after his famous father died in a tragic plane crash on the “Day The Music Died,” saw his father’s face for the first time, fifty years after the fatal day that stole the elder from our world.

How is this, you ask? This all may seem like one of those riddles or some exercise in logic but, no, I assure you it’s quite a true story. And the truth of the matter makes for a fascinating, if unlikely, story.

Jay Perry Richardson was born the same year his father died in a plane accident that was mourned around the world. In fact, Jay was still peacefully floating in his mother’s womb when that fatal day in 1959 came to take the life of his vital and well-known father. Young Jay never laughed with his father, never touched his dad’s face, never learned to ride a bike by his dad’s side and were it not for the heavily thumbed and faded photographs his family all so cherished, young Jay wouldn’t even know what his father looked like.

Unless… unless he looked in the mirror. Yes, that face he wore, he has been told, is the spitting image of his father’s. The thought likely always warmed Jay’s heart.

He may not have known his father in person, but Jay was always fascinated by his father’s legacy and felt close to him despite the distance between them. Jay spent those fifty years of his life studying his father, talking to the many admirers who knew him, writing of him, and traveling the country to keep his father’s memory alive. Even emulating what he knew of the man whose hand he never held, a man with whom he was never able to toss around a football, a man who missed being able to beam with pride at the many successes of a boy he would never know.

Same Old, Same Old, Terrorism

-By Gary Krasner

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said it was terrorism (Duh. thank you for clearing that up!) and “a particularly cowardly act.”

We don’t need his commentary on the act! We need him to resume surveillance of mosques when leads on possible terror lead to those mosques.

But cowardly?! Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov is a devout Muslim who obeyed the mandates of the Koran and sharia law–which is integrated into Islam as its political commandments.

Attention David: 8 killed without a gun. Most since 911 for NYC. Maybe we should outlaw truck rentals!!!?

Uzbekistan immigrant. Diversity visa lottery program. IRRELEVANT. He was committed to sharia. Bar islamists from the US (and nazis and commies. No difference) regardless of nation of origin.

PBS is pushing again the apologists’ anthem that defend Islam:

Self radicalized – as if that means it’s not a serious threat. When you can recruit an army of murderers by merely presenting an ideology, that’s a serious threat.

Lone wolf – as if that means lone crazy killer. Wrong. He works alone to remain undetected. You don’t need “material support” to kill people! He’s united by the ideology! That’s all soldiers of Islam need.

Muslims have “Muslim Insurance.” That’s the insurance protection that Muslims receive when liberals label Saipov a “radical Muslim extremist.”

Blogger Claims Sean Hannity Sexually Harassed and Blocked Her from Fox News, Then Abruptly Denies Accusation

-By Warner Todd Huston

After Fox News host Bill O’Reilly was fired over a long list of sexual harassment charges, a former Fox News guest and bomb throwing blogger has cast her own veiled accusation of sexual harassment at yet another powerhouse Fox News host. Late last week blogger Debie Schlussel insisted that Sean Hannity invited her to his hotel room and then black balled her from the network when she refused. But only days later, Schlussel was found walking back the accusation.

Speaking to Oklahoma-based radio host Pat Campbell on Friday, Schlussel claimed that in the early 2000’s Hannity invited her to his hotel room after the two met at a book signing event in Detroit. She said she turned the invitation down, but after the rebuff, Hannity retaliated against her by black balling her from his show. She also insisted that soon after Fox News more or less stopped inviting her on as a guest commentator hinting that Hannity had forced the network to dump her as a guest.

Schlussel went on to claim that sexual harassment is “all over the place” at Fox.

Liberal Illogic: A Fetus Isn’t Human… Unless It’s a ‘Transgender’ Fetus

-By Warner Todd Huston

Showing once again that it is impossible to be a logical, thinking human AND be a liberal at the same time, Katie “Fake News” Couric recently noted that a fetus in the womb can “feel” transgender and to “think” it has gender issues while still in the womb.

Normally any talk of a baby in the womb is treated as a laughable concept by a liberal. You see, up until birth any baby in the womb is considered a disease that can be killed at will. Heck, as far as some liberals are concerned, even a child as old as six months after birth can be killed if it is considered an inconvenience.

Yes, we know that liberals consider human life “unviable,” or just some random “collection of cells” until a mother decides she “wants” said baby. Human life has no value at all to a liberal unless they “feel” like assigning worth to its life. It’s all just a random, illogical decision, not a fact and certainly not scientific.

Except… if that fetus “feels” like a different gender? Well THAT is a different story, apparently.

That’s right, now liberals are saying we need to save a fetus if it “feels” like it is a different gender than it is.

Liberals Wrong Again: It Was G.W. Bush Who Stopped Al Qaeda’s Second Major U.S. Attack

-By Warner Todd Huston

For years liberals, and even some on the right, claimed that George W. Bush caused more evil jihadists to join al Qaeda with his quick and strong response to the 9/11 attacks in 2001. But now the mastermind behind those attacks is admitting that W’s response to that terrible day is exactly what put a quick end to al Qaeda’s plans for further attacks and W wrecked mayhem among the terror group’s networks.

These revelations have at last leaked out from among the interviews Khalid Sheik Mohammed — often known as KSM — gave to the CIA in the months and years after the brutal terror attacks in 2001. Mohammad was an evil mastermind and one of the key al Qaeda operatives who planned and executed the attacks on the Pentagon and the World Trade Towers as well as the attack that sent United Airlines Flight 93 crashing into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania on September 11, 2001. The attacks killed over 3,000 Americans in only a few hours on that terrible day.

The new information comes from a new book by CIA operative James E. Mitchell whose new memoir details some of the testimony given by the terrorist. The book, entitled, “Enhanced Interrogation: Inside the Minds and Motives of the Islamic Terrorists Trying To Destroy America,” details the CIA’s trials under fire and the interrogation program Mitchell helped design during George W. Bush’s first term in office as his administration struggled to deal with the massive and unprecedented threat of al Qaeda after 9/11.

In the book Mitchell relates how happily Mohammed bragged about personally murdering Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl and how he even “preened” while describing his horrible deed. Mohammad even laughed that severing Pearl’s head was “Just like slaughtering sheep.”

The Left’s Losing Its Mind Over Trump’s Possible Appointments Should Tell You Something

-By Warner Todd Huston

The media’s attempt to destroy the presidency of Donald J Trump before it even fairly begins is purring along nicely. Last week we were told Trump didn’t really expect to win and is unprepared to serve. And this week we have been treated to the hysteria over the leaks and announcements of who may or may not end up in the President Elect’s administration and cabinet.

First and foremost are the lies that Trump’s new strategy man is a “racist, Jew-hating, white supremacist.”

When the President Elect announced that he had appointed current GOP Party Chair Reince Priebus as his chief of staff, most in the media gave a collective shrug. Priebus is a member of the GOP establishment, certainly, but Trump rewarded him with this appointment because Reince really took his career in his hands by backing Trump 100 percent during the campaign despite the loud voices of the Never Trumpers in his own party who wanted to put Hillary in the White House.

But it was Trump’s appointment of former Breitbart News chief Stephen K. Bannon to an important role as chief strategist that sent the media into a tizzy of lies, innuendo, and baseless accusations.

With Bannon, the media threw away even a pretense of its usual “some say” practice used when it wants to smear someone on the center right side of aisle.

That Election Fraud The Left Says Isn’t Happening is Piling Up

-By Warner Todd Huston

The Clinton campaign and her media facilitators have been excoriating GOP nominee Donald Trump for “damaging our democracy” by raising the specter of election fraud. But even as the left screams that there is no such thing in the U.S. election system, evidence to the contrary has been piling up for decades.

Despite the evidence, the media has been working overtime to damage Trump by claiming he is wrong about vote fraud. About a week ago CNN led the way by attacking Trump as the “destroyer of our democracy” because, they said, he was attempting to undermine the legitimacy of the elections over concerns of voter fraud.

As part of his October 16 “Reliable Sources” Sunday show, CNN’s Brian Stelter delivered a rant saying Trump was damaging our democracy. “Trump’s biggest lie is about the election itself!” Stelter insisted.

“He is alleging a massive conspiracy,” Stelter exclaimed, “thereby creating a massive challenge for the news media. Trump has been planting seeds for over a year, warning supporters not to trust the government, the polls or the media, because it’s all rigged, he says.”

Stelter went on to claim that voter fraud in the U.S. “rarely happens” and has had no part in swaying any election.

Of that latter claim, facts say otherwise. Well known election fraud expert John Fund has written article, after article, after article and even books chronicling voter fraud in the U.S.

How Trump Put Himself in a Corner in Coming Fight With Hillary

-By Warner Todd Huston

He may not be smart enough to realize it yet, but Donald Trump has put himself in a tricky position as he prepares for his looming fight with Hillary Clinton in the coming general election campaign. No matter which way he goes — or if he tries a mixture of approaches — he has a problem.

Trump spent his entire primary campaign shooting from the lip, excoriating his opponents in vulgar terms, bald-faced lying about them, and acting the tough guy. Granted it seemed to work for him as his most ardent followers Obama-like didn’t seem much interested in a serious campaign. It was all about how he made them feeeeeel. But whether Trump likes it or not, the upcoming campaign will not be the same type of campaign he’s waged thus far. Unfortunately for him, no matter what he does he is bound to get in major trouble.

If Trump continues using the same substance free, personal attacks he used during the primary, but aims it instead at Hillary, the media will utterly slay him over it. Unlike how the media gave him a pass for his attacks on Republicans, they’ll do no such thing if he trots out this stuff on Hillary. Of course, the media’s excoriation will just be manna from heaven as far as his most solid supporters are concerned. They’ll point to that and cry that they’ve been right to support Trump all along because “they” are all out to get Trump.

So, in the case of a Trump general election campaign configured as am exact clone of his primary campaign, his followers won’t be the problem for him. It’ll be the uncommitted middle that will shy from such a campaign and that will be a problem for his election. If Trump goes on a major name calling binge against Hillary he will lose anyone who already finds politics disgusting and Trump desperately needs these voters to beat an increasingly bifurcated electoral map.

Flashback: Bernie Sanders Kicked Out of Hippie Commune for Shirking Work

-By Warner Todd Huston


In a new book chronicling the history of a 1970s commune, an author claims that self-avowed socialist Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders was kicked out of the place for shirking the work required of its residents.

According to author Kate Daloz, in 1971 when he was 30-years-old, Bernie Sanders came to the commune just as he was launching his career in the socialist Liberty Union Party.

But after staying for a period of time, the commune’s staff asked Sanders to leave because he spent all his time sitting around talking about politics and taking other residents away from the work they were required to do to keep the facility running.

In the forthcoming book We Are As Gods, Daloz presents a history of the Myrtle Hill Farm commune situated in picturesque Northeast Vermont.

According to the Freebeacon, the author says that Sanders went to the commune for research purposes. Apparently he was writing an article on natural childbirth for the Liberty Party Union’s magazine, “Movement.”

But according to author’s interviews, Sanders was a disruptive influence among the hippies and yippies living there.

Daloz found one resident named Craig who told her he “resented feeling like he had to pull others out of Bernie’s orbit if any work was going to get accomplished that day.”

Here is How Democrats Are Using Immigrants to Destroy This Country

-By Warner Todd Huston

It is a well worn adage that America is “made up of immigrants.” But the “making” occurred in an era when people moved to the United States in order to become Americans. Democrats, though, have taken that original intent and upended it to create a means to destroy the country instead of growing it. And there is no better example of this than the words of a Mexican immigrant who was asked to remark on the candidacy of Marco Rubio.

Before we get to this immigrant’s statements about the young Florida Senator vying for the GOP nomination for president, we must address this “made up of immigrants” claim. In truth we are not made up of “immigrants,” but of citizens.

Immigrants don’t “make” a country. Citizens do. Yes, immigrants coming here are important to our republic, but immigrants become a nation’s citizens and it is its citizens that make a country work.

Since immigrants become most useful to the country when they do, indeed, become citizens, it is so disheartening to read the statements of Las Vegas resident Maria Herrera, the rather un-American “citizen” interviewed by The Washington Post on January 10.

This woman was asked by the Post what she thinks about Florida Senator Marco Rubio, a man whose family originally hailed from Cuba.

Muslim Employees at Wisconsin Co. Upset Over Cancellation of Prayer Time

-By Warner Todd Huston

A Wisconsin manufacturing plant made a policy announcement affecting the prayer time for its 53 Muslims employees but the new policy change has employees banding together and claiming they are being “discriminated” against. Imagine if Christians did this…

The Ariens Company, a lawn mower and snowmobile manufacturing company in Brillion, Wisconsin, made a recent change in company policy ending the past practice of its many Muslim employees who often took multiple breaks for Muslim prayers. Whereas in the past employees were able to take breaks whenever they needed to join in prayer, now the company says Muslim employees will get only a lunch break and should indulge their prayers at that time. The company also warned employees if they try to take other times off they will be replaced.

But employees say that the one lunch break does not coincide with the proper time for Muslim prayers.

New York Police Allow Muslims to Openly Attack Journalists, No Arrests Made

-By Warner Todd Huston

New York police stood by and did nothing as a pack of raving Islamists physically and verbally attacked several Egyptian journalists right out in the open, on the streets, and right in front of police.

Members of the terror group the Muslim Brotherhood accosted the journalists who were in New York as part of the Egyptian media covering Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi as he attends the 70th annual session of the United Nations General Assembly.

You may recall that back in 2013 the terrorist group the Muslim Brotherhood had control over Egypt when their man, Mohamed Morsi was president of the ancient country. Morsi was in power with the backing Barack Obama, but the people of the country rose up to eliminate the terror-connected candidate and paved the way for el-Sisi to take the office.

Spokane NAACP Leader Lied About Her Race on City Job Application, Turns Out She’s White!

-By Warner Todd Huston

The City of Spokane, Washington is now reporting that the local head of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP)–who for years has claimed to be a black woman–lied about her race on her application to serve on the citizen police ombudsman commission. She claimed she is black, but now her parents and official records have come forward to show she is actually a white woman.

Rachel Dolezal serves as the chair of the city’s citizen watchdog commission but she is also an adjunct faculty member at Eastern Washington University and president of Spokane’s NAACP local chapter. For years she has told people she’s black.

Now we find she lied about her race on her official application which city officials say is a violation of the city’s ethics codes.

On her application to serve on the commission, she identified herself as African-American. But public records, including Dolezal’s own birth certificate, list her biological parents as Ruthanne and Lawrence Dolezal of Montana. The Dolezals told KXLY Thursday that Rachel is their biological daughter and that they are both white.

“We are committed to independent citizen oversight and take very seriously the concerns raised regarding the chair of the independent citizen police ombudsman commission,” Mayor David Condon and City Council President Ben Stuckart said it a joint statement Thursday. “We are gathering facts to determine if any city policies related to volunteer boards and commissions have been violated. That information will be reviewed by the City Council, which has oversight of city boards and commissions.”

She married a black man and has pretended to be black herself for quite some time.

But it seems that her lies have been just about to bubble out for some time…

‘Meet The Press’ Update: Top Ten Most Left-Biased American Journalists – #4: Chuck Todd, NBC

-By Warner Todd Huston

With NBC’s Chuck Todd on the verge of replacing Dave Gregory as the next host for NBC’s Meet The Press, I am beginning to get hits on my old post on him. This info is all quite true, so read on about just how biased this guy is.

Back in 2010 I created a list of the top ten most left-biased journalists (see the full list at the bottom of this post). Chuck Todd was then the fourth most biased in my list. He is still just as biased and with the rumors that he is about to take over the Sunday show, I thought I’d repost this entry.

Original post…

All week we’ve been exploring America’s ten most left-biased working journalists and now we come to spot number four on the list. And so, for his close attention to pushing the spin and as one of the most active members of the Old Media’s Obama Butt Covering squad, we are pleased to award the number four spot to NBC Political Director Chuck Todd.

Todd is one of those journos that came from Democrat political circles — having worked for Iowa Democrat Senator Tom Harkin’s 1992 presidential run — and then crossed over into the world of “journalism.” With that you just know that he can be as unbiased as the best of them in his reporting. Well, if he can we’ll never know it because so far he has not been. Just the opposite, really.

Todd has done a bang-up job for the left in his journalism career. Likely Todd’s loyalty to the Democrat Party is probably why he felt the need to slam Senator Joe Lieberman last year, for instance. Proving his blindness to real political analysis, Todd claimed that Joe Lieberman was the “polar opposite” of the Senate’s lone socialist Senator Bernie Sanders (officially an “independent”).

Poll: Even People in Illinois Say Illinois Worst State to Live In

-By Warner Todd Huston

Now, usually when a state is dissed it is dissed by people from outside the state. With the usual hometown bravado, and all, denizens of a state used to stick up for their own in the face of criticism. But a new poll finds that Illinois is so bad, even people that live there say it sucks.

America is a land of polls, for sure, but this poll is a particularly telling one. The Gallup polling firm asked residents of the 50 states (or the 57 states if you are our clueless President) what they thought about their own home states. It turns out that Montanans really love their state. But Illinois and Rhode Island? Not so much.

The top five states where residents are happy to live right where they are living are Montana (77% of residents love the place), Alaska (also 77%), Utah (70%), Wyoming (69%), and Texas (68%).

Further, if you ask everyone the general question of where the best place to live is, Texas wins, followed by Alaska then Hawaii.

[UPDATE] Coke Balkanizes USA With Super Bowl Ad

-By Warner Todd Huston

With UPDATE at bottom

The left was ecstatic over Coca-Cola’s decision to air a commercial during the Super Bowl that featured as its sound track the song America The Beautiful. Oh, they weren’t ecstatic because of the song. They were ecstatic that Coke decided to have the song sung in a myriad of foreign languages. They weren’t excited over an American song they were happy that Coke decided to snub English and American traditions, of course.

Naturally, the retort against those that were upset that Coke produced the song in a string of foreign tongues is that they are “racists” and “haters” who hate the fact that there are people other than White, English-speakers in the US.

Just as naturally, this is simply not why people were upset at Coke.

Coke posted a press release claiming that its commercial was “a salute to America” and that “the ad features real people enjoying each other and a Coke.”

Further explaining the commercial in the press release, Katie Bayne, President, North America Brands, Coca-Cola North America, said, “For 127 years, Coca-Cola has been proud to be a part of bringing friends and families together while memories are made. With ‘It’s Beautiful,’ we are simply showing that America is beautiful, and Coke is for everyone.”

It is somewhat shocking to find the man that created the book that served as the basis for one of the scariest movies in Hollywood history is a serious, practicing Catholic who is sickened by abortion. After all, few in Hollywood are people of faith. But author and screenwriter William Peter Blatty is unapologetic about his deep faith.

Before mega blockbusters like Jaws, Star Wars, or ET, The Exorcist had audiences around the world flocking to theaters to witness the scariest movie ever produced. Many today feel that the William Friedkin directed picture is still the scariest movie of all time.

Talks between the White House and GOP leaders in the House of Representatives are on everyone’s mind and solutions and ideas are coming fast and thick from many corners of Washington. But CNN thinks it has the way to fix it all: raise the gas tax.

Dishonestly portraying “some experts” as offering a new fix to the fiscal cliff, CNN explored the idea of hiking the federal gas tax because, CNN says, the current 18.4 cents per gallon is “not enough.”

“As lawmakers race to negotiate a deal to avoid the fiscal cliff,” CNN urgently reports, “some experts say one tax increase should be on the table: a gas tax hike.”

Media Ignores Warren Plagiarizing, Went Nuts Over Claims of Scott Brown’s

-By Warner Todd Huston

Michael Patrick Leahy detailed yet another twist to Elizabeth “Faux-Cahontis” Warren’s tale of fake American Indian claims. Apparently in 1984 Warren supplied several “old family recipes” to the “Pow Wow Chow cookbook,” edited by her cousin. Turns out these “family recipes” where just lifted from various cookbooks and newspaper articles of the era. She appears to have plagiarized them.

Will the media note that Warren plagiarized recipes from other cookbooks, claimed they were “family recipes,” and then signed them “Elizabeth Warren – Cherokee”? Probably not, but the Old Media went ga ga when they thought her opponent, Senator Scott Walker, plagiarized something.

For Warren’s part, Leahy notes that several of her “family recipes” were copied word-for-word from a New York Times News service piece published in 1979. Boston-based talk show host Howie Carr also found that several of her recipes appear to have been plagiarized. (Here, here, and here)

Revisionism: Old Timer Phil Donahue Injects Racism Into 2002 Iraq War Vote

-By Warner Todd Huston

Old-timer Phil Donahue, about who rumor has it used to have some sort of TV show back in the previous century, has recently turned up on NPR for some unexplainable reason. And, like his long past career, he’s dwelling equally in the past with his new comments about the authorization of force against Iraq in 2002. But he’s adding a new spin to the now irrelevant discussion by adding to it all one of the left’s favorite tropes: racism.

You see, according to Donahue, racism sullied the decision to authorize George Bush to intervene in Iraq in 2002. How is that, you ask? Well, according to Donahue it’s because none of the blacks in Congress voted for the war.

What does that mean? To Donahue it means that these African American congressmen were better, smarter, and free of racism, I guess. Only whites wanted to kill innocent Iraqis, hence the racism.

On NPR’s Smiley & West show*, Donahue floated the idea that all the African Americans — in fact he said “every person of color” — voted against the war in Iraq. Apparently, Donahue thinks that this is because all “the white people in Congress” are racists.

Apparently it’s all sweetness and light, unicorns and fuzzy bunnies in the Youtube comments section of Obama’s new hagiographic, hack-u-mentary short directed by Academy Award-winning director David “star-struck” Guggenheim. Barley a cross word is seen there about the Obammessiah since most negative comments seem likely to have been deleted from the Youtube page leaving only the most sugary, sycophantic sap behind.

Such serious, probing comments as “YES we can, YES we did, Yes we Will !!!!!!!” [sic], “This generations Kennedy! His face belongs on money someday. I’m in!,” and “the best President….EVER!!!” grace the comments section of The Road We Traveled, the cheesy, dear-leader-like film made to flog Obama’s now six-year-long campaign for the White House.

There are teas for Obama, joy for Obama, prayers for Obama, thanks for the blessings he bestowed upon us from on high, grave warnings that without Obama we are lost, and, my particular favorite, the self-chastising comment that went: “Thank you, Mr President. I’m sorry that I’ve been impatient.”

Please Contact Advertisers That Dumped Limbaugh, Tell Them How YOU Feel — Here’s their Info

-By Warner Todd Huston

So far, 22 companies have pulled their advertising from the Rush Limbaugh radio show. They have done this, some because they are big dollar Obama supporters (like Carbonite), many more because they were pressured by a concerted campaign to intimidate them launched by various left-wing groups.

Those of you that support Rush Limbaugh really need to contact these advertisers and let them know how upset you are with them for dropping his show. You need to speak up just as the extremist left-wing websites and Obama operatives have done.

Squeaky wheel, you know? After all, we have just as much right to tell these advertisers that we oppose their attack on Rush Limbaugh as the left-wingers do in telling them to drop Limbaugh as a client.

Below are links to the contact pages of each company’s website. Please call them all… and like a good Chicago election campaign, do so more than once!

On another note, Carbonite may be finding its actions are not helping its own bottom line. Apparently Carbonite’s stock has fallen through the floor.

CPAC Speeches: Contrasting Santorum, Gingrich, Romney

-By Warner Todd Huston

CPAC 2012 featured appearances by the three top GOP contenders who came to ask for the support of the conservatives gathered there. First came former Penn. Senator Rick Santorum, then Governor Mitt Romney, and finally former Speaker of the House of Representatives Newt Gingrich, all came to sell their ideas and candidacy.

Rick Santorum

Santorum came out to the most applause of the three, for sure. As he and his family mounted the stage the crowd was obviously eager to hear what the candidate had to say.

“Conservatism did not fail this country,” began the meat of the former Pennsylvania Senator’s remarks, “conservatives failed conservatism.”

Santorum said that in the past we, “listened to the voices that said we had to abandon our principles and our values to get things done, to win.” But no more compromise, he said. “The lesson we’ve learned is that we will no longer abandon and apologize for the policies and principles that made this country great for a hollow victory in November.”

Santorum went on to say that Obamacare was a “game changer” and with it, as the British found with their system, we will never be free again. “It’s about government control of our lives and it’s gotta stop,” he asserted to great applause.
