Another President who will free men from the slavery of tyranny.
A President for the Culture of Death. Slavery at its ultimate effect:
Yes, Indeed! He is such a gracious person. He offers reasonable solutions and always stands up for Freedom under our Constitution. It makes these sniveling cowards that call him an extremist look foolish.
The video is definitely worth the time.
Class.
