  I used to listen to Michael Savage 6 years back because he was so extremely out of touch with society that “I got a kick out of it.”

Don’t cry.” That’s what I was raised with. That’s what you should raise your children with. Stop with the sensitivity training. You’re turning your son into a girl, and you’re turning your nation into a nation of losers and beaten men. [Read more →]
