Here's a response in a letter from PATTY NYE from Illinois .. I think she is a little ticked off! She also tells it like it is! "Hey Dick, let's get a few things straight!!!" 1. As a career politician, you have been on the public dole (tit) for FORTY YEARS. 2. I have been paying Social Security taxes...

After a government semi-shutdown, the disastrous rollout of HealthCare.gov and the looming budget crisis coming again in January, you’d think the second-ranking Democrat in the Senate would reserve his limited time and resources to focus on fixing these critical issues the federal government has already messed up. You’d be wrong. Senator Richard Durbin, the second most powerful man in the Senate, will hold a special hearing this week on state self-defense laws and the death of Trayvon Martin. (PJ Media has extensively covered the Trayvon Martin incident. See, “Justice for Trayvon, Race Hustler Style,” or Bill Whittle’s fantastic revelation about...

Canberra, 7 July (AKI) - Terrorists that carried out the multiple blasts that hit London's transport system on Thursday morning could conduct further attacks in the near future unless they are captured, according to a leading al-Qaeda and terrorism expert, Rohan Gunaratna.

Others are forced to march in the heat, unaware of the final solution they are destined to complete....
