Mission America’s Linda Harvey: Gays, Bisexuals and Transgenders Don’t Exist

linda-harvey1

Conservative radio host and Mission American founder says of gays, “There are no such humans.”

Harvey: There’s one big fact that’s not backed up. There is no proof that there’s ever anything like a gay, lesbian or bisexual or transgendered child, or teen or human. One of the other things you’re gonna see as I mentioned is a big campaign GLSEN’s gonna roll out this year calling for ‘respect,’ respect! Not just for people, but for homosexual lifestyle.

Deregulation: A Thankless Task

by Stuart Shapiro

The Obama Administration announced this week the results of their efforts to streamline regulations that they began back in January.  The results are reasonably impressive:

The reforms announced today span a wide range. Consider just a few examples:

  • The Department of Health and Human Services will soon propose to remove unnecessary regulatory and reporting requirements now imposed on hospitals and other healthcare providers, potentially saving an anticipated $4 billion over the next five years.
  • The Department of Labor is finalizing a rule to simplify and to improve hazard warnings for workers, likely saving employers over $2.5 billion …

    110825_palinlede1_ap_328

    A Pew poll isn’t good for the Killa from Wasilla.

    That’s the second-highest rejection rate of any Republican candidate, exceeded only by Newt Gingrich, who was ruled out by 48 percent of respondents…

    These are not the only reality-check numbers for Palin this week. A Gallup survey released yesterday showed that in a race that includes all the current candidates, plus Palin and Rudy Giuliani, the former Alaska governor would draw 11 percent of the vote — tying Paul for third place.

    What’s more, a Public Policy Polling survey in Iowa showed that Palin would start out in fifth place …
