January 16th, 2010 | by admin |

You seem to have plenty of reason to form your own opinion if you haven’t already.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which Barack Obama wants: one nation under Barack Obama, indivisible, with bailouts and healthcare for all poor unwilling to work.

    I think the inconvenient truth is only that Al Gore travels around in his Giant SUV and personal jet telling people to be more concerned about their emissions.

    Before man, there were no weather cycles. There were no ice ages, no times when there was no land, nothing like that. Man is the center of the universe

    i dont know who half those people are. arafat helped with middle eastern peace and al gore helped us realize about the inconvenient truth. obama hasnt done anything but make promises and not keep them. except for him, everybody else did something groundbreaking or that had a major impact.

    The Nobel "Peace" Prize has become little more than a joke. I saw today that Obama is getting the Heisman Trophy because he watched a football game on TV.
