All armed patriots will by duty make these senators diissappear and their bodies not to be found. I hope you at the NSA are paying real close attention. You cannot stop us there are too many of us who own guns who will not tolerate it. You cannot protect these traitors 24 hours a day. The ones with nay are the good guys on this subject.

Battle of the Budget Bulge: Living Within Our Means?

Over the past few weeks I have followed, with something oscillating between frustrated interest and frustrated apathy, what now passes for political theater. Or, I should say, budget-minded theater, for never has a topic of debate so fitted its mode.
