Snap! Obama Says To Hold Him Accountable In 2011

Posted on by William Teach

Well, not so much himself, but, a nebulous “us” should be held accountable. I wonder if that includes hitting him in the face with a pie? Well, if you hit Boehner with a pie, you probably won’t get charged. If you hit a Democrat, it might take 4 months to be charged with assault. Anyhow, […]

Thanks to Big Government, Oil Prices Headed for the Sky

Posted on by Dave Blount

What might an irresponsible, authoritarian, hyper-intrusive government driven by a radical environmentalist agenda and hostile to American interests do to the energy sector?

Obama’s Attny Gen. Says Americans More Dangerous Than Al Qaeda

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Eric Holder told ABC News that he has “sleepless nights” over his worry about domestic terrorists. He thinks that Americans, natural born are far more dangerous than foreign terrorists.
