Good morning kids. Hope you all had a nice, relaxing weekend but let’s jump right in, shall we? All I have to say is this greasy bastard! Gov.

The NeoCon Wet-Dream For Iran Is “Boots On The Ground.”
Hell No! There Is A Better Way!

Again, El-Sayed’s mother was helping the financial operations of a network that supported one of the most infamous terrorist leaders of modern times (Bin Laden), who orchestrated the deaths of nearly 3,000 Americans…
The Morning Rant: What Don’t You Understand About Socialists?
The idea that Socialism is just another political philosophy is embedded in a certain segment of our country. You know…the morons. “Sure! Let’s try it out! Maybe it will work!” These are the ignorant among us who never learned a damned thing about the evils of socialism, because their teachers were crypto-socialists…or as is increasingly…
