    • The 545 People Responsible for All of America's Woes

    • When did we become Socialists?

      Is the USA a Socialist country. Well, if Obama-Care gets passed, and the Cap & Trade bill gets passed, then 51% of the American economy will be under complete government control. At that point, the issue will be moot. However, I think we've be... | Read More
