I am not going to get into any of that debate here. I will say I support the Bill of Rights and Constitution and do my best to live up to those standards. So what is my point? Glad you...

Depending on what weather report you listen to, we could be in for some more freezing rain or snow, so be careful out there. For your own safety, please turn on those headlights as foggy conditions make the visibility of your car extremely difficult. SPECIAL...
