RAP RIGHT.(opinion on the nomination of John D. Ashcroft as Attorney General)(Brief Article)
"Singer" Eminem raps about busting gay men's heads, and he wins Grammys. Attorney General nominee John Ashcroft admits that his religious beliefs don't sanction homosexuality, and he's a hatemonger.

Let Democrats talk long enough, and they'll append a new right to the Constitution with every breath. A right to be free of gun violence? That's a new one. Literally. Attention ...
