The people at CBS really love conservatives. They wrote an Op-Ed this week entitled “The GOP will moderate or die.”

I just can’t thank the people at CBS enough for reaching out. 

And, yes, let’s look at all our immoderate positions.

Voting Rights: Well, I believe that American citizens should be the only ones who vote.

Gay Marriage: Someone invented that marriage was a right. My position is that one human being shouldn’t be forced to involve themselves in your ceremony if they don’t agree with it.

Abortion: How do you moderate on this one? Injure but don’t kill the baby?

It’s all about choices. And you should not be able to take away someone’s freedom of choice. We shouldn’t force people to do things against their will.

Conservatives need to turn off the media. Turn off and disconnect our satellite and cable. Don’t listen to these voices. They are the ones that need to be forced to moderate. 

As always, please listen to the full audio clip for complete context.

As officials review widely circulated bystander videos of the fatal police shooting of a homeless man in Madison, Wisconsin, one key perspective won’t be emerging: footage from the officers’ body-worn cameras. Unlike nearly every other similarly sized city, Madison doesn’t require its police to wear them. The absence of that footage has left residents in […]
