Before I hit the meat of my post, let me lay a couple things out there. First, I think we’d be incredibly foolish to tinker with the definition of marriage any more than we have.

I don’t have a huge point here, but I want to leave one little fact on which we may want to gnaw like a meaty thigh bone for a few days. Erick Erikson wrote a post at Red State in which he said this: It is time to throw the social conservatives out of the [...]

I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned this before, but I don’t do interviews on The Delivery. I have guests on and we have a conversation. I’ll usually have two or three subjects in mind but if we don’t get to all of them, or even any of them, I’m not fashed, so long as [...]

Raising the rhetorical stakes around local battles over voting laws, DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz yesterday compared Republican efforts to tighten access to the polls to notorious segregation-era Jim Crow laws.
