OPINION: No room for differences on Memorial Day

The last Monday in May has been established by Congress as Memorial Day, the day to remember, honor and mourn the Americans who have died in the country’s wars.

OPINION: Ignorant, brainwashed or lying

When I hear a progressive say something that is obviously untethered from the truth I consider whether that person is ignorant, brainwashed or lying. Ignorant if they simply do not know the truth. Brainwashed if they have been convinced their fiction is fact. Lying if they know the truth, but simply chose to ignore reality.
