From a freedom-loving perspective, it appears President Obama has the economic sense of a six-year-old child. Obama and his faithful administration are taking heat as of late due to their mismanagement of the American economy.

This young lady has one heck of a future ahead of her. She’s going to be a great one. She and O’Keefe have already hit the history books.

Yes, she can! I didn’t know who she was when I first started watching those videos, but I’m glad to see she’s one of us. Hannah for President when turns 35.

I believe this was part of H.R. 2454, the “American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009,” commonly known as the “Cap and Trade” bill. But, for some reason, I seem to remember the flatulence provisions were removed before it passed the House. I’m pretty sure cows and sheep can fart freely, without worrying about the tax implications, at least for a while.

Wow - she’s not only good-looking as all get-out and a fine actress, she’s a brilliant satarist and writer.

This young woman is going to go a long way - she may just unhinge the left as badly as Sarah did.

Read the whole article - its stunningly good!!!

Indeed. I’ve also posted two other of her articles. She deserves our respect.

Consider this a preemptive first strike. The SRM is going to hit Miss Giles as hard or harder than they did Governor Palin.
