Note to Nancy Pelosi; if you’re going to quote the Bible, be sure that what you’re saying is an actual quote. Don’t let staffers make ‘quotes’ up, pick up a copy of the Bible, start reading it, and if you feel inspired by a particular passage, use it.
And when you are clearly using religion for […]

Because of the global food crisis (thank you biofuel), people are dying.

Little children walk around with ‘hunger bellies.’ They’re crying constantly; they need food. Their mothers are depressed; they realize […]
