And so the publisher, Wilder Publications, has put a warning label on its reprints of America's founding documents and books to shield American's delicate sensibilities.

The warning label reads, "This book is a product of its time and does not reflect the same values as it would if it were written today.

And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

I agree. Most of what they print looks like garbage.
