Funny Business…
The United States Government has been run like a branch of organized crime: a special sort of American funny business that ain’t so funny.
“Nothing to fear but fear itself”
Voting for war has not been working for 36 years. When voting for Democrats or Republicans advocating war, you better think about the consequences of your actions.
