Here’s a look at a bygone era for sure. Too bad. We still have much to be proud of, perhaps even more considering the advances in civil rights since this recording was made. Listening to some on the left, you’d think America was the worst place on earth. However, you don’t hear of any of [...]

If anyone needed evidence of our culture’s descent into indecency, one particular Super Bowl ad fills the bill.
