2009-07-03T08:48:00.000-07:00

BackgroundWith failed clown Al Franken taking the Senate seat from Minnesota, New York State Democrats refusing to stand for our Pledge of Allegiance and Obama joining in with other socialists demanding the return of a deposed wannabe dictator to Honduras, after he was legally removed for violating their constitution, ordered by the Honduran Supreme Court and Congress, I guess the joke is on

More Reaction to SCOTUS Decision Spiking Sotomayor

2009-06-29T09:49:00.000-07:00

The United States Supreme Court over turned an appellate court decision on White Firefighters being denied promotion after passing the promotion test, because Black Firefighters did not score high enough to gain promotion also.
