Rand Paul wants to cut aid to Israel →
I usually don’t agree with Dr. Rand Paul, in fact I don’t think I have ever agreed with him on anything in life, but for the first time, we might have something in common. He wants to cut aid to all countries. We should def start with Israel because it does not need it. Israel should be giving us aid!! We are in a huge deficit and need help way more than they do at this time. Plus, We...

The state and local municipalities are usually pretty stable...

This was not in bad taste though as it appropriately celebrated the heroes from the tragedy. What was also surprising was the conservative reaction to Obama’s speech. Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, and Bill O’Reilly all praised the President with...

Sad day →
Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was shot today in a shooting at a grocery store, along with 17 others being dead or injured, outside of Tucson, Arizona.

The programs passed during this...
