How do we set the legal trap and spring it on these fascists? We need a team of very smart legal beagles right now who will bring Obama and his commies down.

If health insurers had a brain, they would all announce to the nazis that they are all sticking together and doing the same politically incorrect thing. Cancle one and Obama will have to ban them all.

Glenn Beck tonight, played a video of Anita Dunn, main Fox critic from the Whitehouse idolizing Mao Tse-tung, Marxist. They should not mess with Fox. The truth always wins
