By quinersdiner | March 25, 2014

The Left has tried to twist Sebelius v Hobby Lobby into another “war on women” issue.

By quinersdiner | March 25, 2014

By Tom Quiner The quote above is particularly relevant today. The Supreme Court is hearing a watershed case to determine if liberal elites can force their morality, their religion, on Christians, Muslims, and Jews. You know the story.
