Americans tend to react to sound bites and the latest blog when it comes to news. But Americans need to look at the true American history to truly understand what is going on. We can’t jump on the bandwagon every time an event happens. It doesn’t take long to realize that we let the government [...]
I am becoming totally dissatisfied with the goings on in Washington D.C. – on both sides of the aisle, in both houses. Both the House and the Senate need a lesson in the constitutio
I wonder if Wayne LaPierre of the National Rifle Association ever reads the newspapers, watches any television, or listens to the radio. I guess he must not listen closely, or else he is so blinded by weapons manufacturers that he cannot understand that guns don’t always stop bad guys.
