Obama double-talk on Egypt

Posted on January 31, 2011 by mesasmiles

The shameless exploiting of the Gabrielle Giffords tragedy

Posted on January 9, 2011 by mesasmiles

It didn’t take long for the Left to try to take advantage of the Gabrielle Giffords shooting to try to twist it into an excuse to take away more of our liberties. It’s absolutely despicable. Conservatives, don’t let them get … Continue reading →

Census results and global warming.

Posted on January 8, 2011 by mesasmiles
