Mr. President put the coffee down, coffee is for closers!

No wonder President Obama came away from Copenhagen empty-handed. Let's face it: the president doesn't have lots of experience in saying good things about the United States.  The POTUS explained that he wanted the Olympics in Chicago because Ame...

Ahmadinejad Wants the Bomb To Help Bring the Muslim Messiah

Little is said about President Ahmadinejad's background even his official biography lacks a lot of information. But by understanding who Ahmadinejad is, and where he comes from, we can see how dangerous this man really is. In the book, "The...

PLEASE HELP! My Congressman May Have Been Abducted

I can't help it; I come from a long line of worrywarts. My wife makes fun of me because I am always worrying. Usually my concern surrounds my kids, family or even a close friend, but never a public figure. Not this time. What's worse is my worry's ca...

Obama tries to discredit health care dissent

Durban 2 Truth 0
