We must stop Obama
(Politics)
While this site isn't really a political site, per se, I believe defeating President Obama's re-election bid is of vital importance for the sake of our country. This president has put our nation on the fast track to ruin. He's been growing the government at a phenomenal pace, creating new bureaucracies that continue eating away at our liberties and rights.

Let's bring it down to a more manageable scenario.

Even some Republicans have gone on record to say it was a big mistake and could spell the end of her career. The chattering classes are confused by her actions. They can't understand a politician who isn't self-serving.

The truth about the Civil War
(History)
During the business day, I have my local talk radio station playing in the background. I get my daily dose of Glenn Beck in the morning, and Rush Limbaugh in the afternoon. Glenn has finally started to see the light about the Civil War — it really was about States' Rights — and has talked about the disaffection so many of us are feeling. The federal government has turned into a giant ogre trampling the rights our Founding Fathers detailed in the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
