The Obama Presidency: Here Comes Socialism
by Dick Morris
2009-2010 will rank with 1913-14, 1933-36, 1964-65 and 1981-82 as years that will permanently change our government, politics and lives.

their lands, Congress has maintained that it is always the Palestinians,
the Palestinian Authority, and now Hamas who are to blame for all hostilities

People’s Stimulus Package
by Ron McBride
There are 49,122,624 Americans on Social Security and Disability in
this country. If the rumors about the Obama Stimulus Package are true,
