Interesting to note it is all the Presidents fault. Get real. The problem is the continued movement of the ELITES in both parties who hunker down and tell the wannabe politicians what to do if they are elected. Have the good old boys in the big D party come up with any answers or plans other than “We hate George”. Put a Democrat in as President and their lust for power and control will be no different from King George’s. Besides don’t the LIBERALS believe the real power behind the throne is Dick Cheney.

America is just now at the most critical crossroads of its history. Will, in exchange for alleviating our fears brought on by a handful of Saudi Jihadists, choose to be the America the founding fathers envisioned and enshrined in the Constitution? Or will we surrender our freedoms to a cabal of fascists who dream of world conquest?
