Sen Obama voted for the Patriot Act. And Rahm Emmanuelle who is a totally warmonger. Lets take America back. Lets sop sending money to Isreal. That is not Isreal's money. Barak do not attack Iran. P.S. The Democrats are bigger warmongers than the Republicans. Vote Paul in 2112 and take America back. WOOOR$D

Beautiful, fellow scribes!

"Credit cards, money in my pocket... but voice was stolen." CLASSIC line!

The epitome of burglary is your freedom in exchange for materialism. So true... some of us are so financially stable to a point where it suffocates all common senses and we could care less about our rights.

"A bald eagle can't fly with a knife in his back" PERFECT!

I am blessed to be one in a million and proud to say: YES WE CAN! Great job fellas!
