Many in Congress defend their treason
(eg support of al Qaeda against the American people;
and support of financial destruction of America)
by claiming they are only docile and tractable.
In fact, their increasing incomes
(at the expense of the American people driven to poverty)
and their exclusion from the very
Laws that they pass for others (eg. ObamaCARE)
declare that this is just another pathetic excuse.
Their active behavior reveals them to be
salient traitors to the US Constitution
and systematic violators of the very Oaths
they were supposed to have taken.

Correct--our debt problems are here to stay, barring a miracle or a revolution. Or both.

Good morning! The weather has been a bit strange. See if you can get Al Gore on the hotline to explain the reasons.

Even the Rangers scored 5 goals against Philly. That’s a month’s worth for NY.

Here are no currently serving Democrats who are tractable.

There are no tractable democrats. They all think, vote, and act in lockstep. Which is a huge problem, since they are wrong about absolutely everything.

It’s too soon to see which way the Supremes will go.
Let’s hope they don’t Stop (the ban on gay marriage) in the Name of Love.
