Supreme Court Case Could End Corporate March To Reinstatement of Slavery
The title is striking but very accurate. It describes the march that America is on with corporations encroaching on our individual liberties.

Obama Does It Again – Speech Humanizes Palestinians To The Cheers Of Israelis (VIDEO)

The election is over and by a 3% margin Americans have decided to reelect President Obama. I will be the first to say that I believe President Obama governed like a centrist Republican in his first term.
