Violent Radicalization and
Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007
The reason I have long since given up voting for candidates and have had to surrender to voting against candidates....

New Currency
So do you think I'm off on the Hirohito, Mao Tse-Tung, and King Abdullah currency release date?
I wish we didn't have to wait on the 2nd Depression to get a valid Political Party, but when I heard Clinton say that not ALL Lobbyists were bad, I began to wonder if ALL Asbestos was bad--if'n you know what I mean. And this "off the table" crap, makes me realize who they all work for. Don't dare upset the K-Street Apple Cart for the newly elected are ready to feed from the same Teet.
