    No links about the recent march on Washington? Nothing discussing the tens of thousands of American citizens that marched on the capital in efforts to stop H.R. 3200 among other things?

    Donny, I’m just asking for some links that are actually bipartisan, rather than the two types you primarily post…, those either supporting the Obama Administration or those condemning anything that doesn’t support it. I know I lean right but at least I’m honest about it.

    Senator Bachmann, your are the type of person this very liberal American citizen has put my ass on the line against. I have pledged to the constitution of the United States to protect and defend this land and it’s laws.

    I renew my pledge to the President of the country and to the Constitution to be once again will to defend them against enemies both foreign and DOMESTIC, that is YOU and all those that think as you do.

    I am great full that my President has more courtesy than you and your kind, but I am willing do die in order to take care of my children and their childrens’ children. You have done enough damage to this land that was even great before your kin desicrated it with your self-hatred.
    I for one am tired of it and i realize it takes attitude to fight liars and cheats. Know that your day is short, all things change and the time for change is now.

    Say, I thought all Liberals were educated? why dont you try reading the H.R. 3200 bill you might wake up and…. become an Independent conservitive, but to do that you would still need half a brain.
