Here is a little test, written by Dennis Prager, well known author and pundit. Take it and see how many you get. Hopefully everyone gets a zero, but I somehow doubt it. Add a few questions if you like. Do you believe the following? 1.Standards for admissions to universities, fire departments, e...

Now I am convinced. I am sure of it. Liberals actually hope that the price of gas stays high. $4 per gallon is probably not high enough for them, but it is a start. My feelings or fact? It is pretty obvious. The Dems in Congress just keep voting against us drilling in our own country. We are depe...

Here in southern Idaho there is a plethora of SUV's and trucks. Most are full size. Most probably average around 15 mpg. Things are pretty spread out in our state as we still resemble a rural setting with some suburbs thrown in here and there. 20 miles over to town and 5 to the kids school. Add...
