Obama goes to a primary school to talk to the kids to get a little PR. After his talk he offers question time. One little boy puts up his hand and Obama asks him his name.

" Walter," responds the little boy.

"And what is your question, Walter?"

"I have 4 questions:

First, why did the USA Bomb Libya without the support of the Congress?

Second, why do you keep saying you fixed the economy when it's actually worse?

Third, why did you say that Jeremiah…

The budget for the first year of…

The forces that are arrayed against us are legion and daunting, we will lose many battles; however, we must not let that deter us from our task. Our task, a noble one and equally daunting, is to reverse our country's decline into socialism and return it to a freedom loving Republic.

The Left has…

Per...NEVER GIVE UP!!! Or...as they used to say in the Roman Legions: "Illegitimae noncarborundum." That's fractured Latin for "Never Let the Bastards Grind You Down."

What we've seen in this election is the raw power of the socialist unions. They have the money and they have the brainwashed membership. They also have the most mendacious propaganda machine in the world. Plus, the media supports them in all their nefarious deeds and ideas.

 

The only way they can be stopped is…

    In the 2008 election, Senator Barack Obama reached out to young Americans with a fresh message that appealed to theirdissatisfaction with the nation's political process. He called it hope and change, and he connected with their hearts and minds with such success thathe captured 66 percent of the vote of those under 30. Now, three years later, some of those young Americans have taken to the streets not in joy andexuberance but in anger and frustration. President Obama has heard their…
