That would be traitors who embrace our enemies.
Let’s hear it for the Bushes and Obama and the rest bowing and scraping to these desert monsters.
We made a deal with the devil’s evil gold around 100 years ago...and we are reaping what we sow.
You would think Kuwait and Iraq would sell us oil for cheap. You may be right on the One World Order and I would include the greenies as a major problem too. Handwriting has been on the wall for too long while our congress did nothing.
