There are few men and women who will risk everything to be free. Vladimir Bukovsky, Soviet dissident, who turned 70 last Sunday, is one of those. Our own brothers and sisters in Cuba who oppose tyranny, living or killed by the regime are our modern day Bukovskys, Solzhenitzyns, Sakharovs, and Sharanskys in Cuba. We need many [...]

Just close your eyes and fantasize it's you-know-who, his rat-faced brother, and the sundry other miserable criminals running our sad little island... That would be a truly Merry Christmas...

Maybe someone should bring this up in the debate tonight: "Obama Doctrine: Ft. Hood Was Not Terrorism, Wounded Soldiers Get No Benefits." Victims of the Nov. 2009 Ft.

Scary, and familiar.  Forget history, forget the limits of the office, forget the constitution, forget truth; it is all about him—a trait shared by the dictators of the world. Choice excerpts from the Heritage Foundation article: Morning Bell: Obama Edits Official State Department Documents to Tout Himself Inserting himself into the biographies of past presidentson [...]
