The game played by the Marxists is war where the end justifies the means. No matter how it's dressed up, it's an assault on America's freedom. |
Countdown until Obama leaves Office: 527 days as of August 11, 2011.

I have missed you! You are such a voice of sanity around here. Thank you for showing up. ;o)
“The White House does not create jobs, but it does put into place conditions that make it more difficult for others to create jobs. It’s time for the administration to get out of the way.”
AMEN!!!
