An outspoken advocate of free enterprise and the Constitution, he wrote critically about politicians in both parties and especially President Obama.

Truth hurts. They whined like little cry babies and got what they wanted. He didn’t take any action to expose them for what they are and this is what he gets.
“He and two others decided to use their regulatory clout to retaliate against Bennie for daring to speak out against Obama. “
Simple. Call the sheriff to arrest the fascists. If you don’t have a sheriff to do that, get off your fat butt and elect a new sheriff.
The question is how much additional heat will it take for these dissidents and critics to be cooked like the proverbial frog in the slowly warming kettle.
