Barack Obama wasting Energy

It turns out Barack Obama would rather leave the heater on at the Whitehouse than wear a jacket. Thank you for wasting energy, Mr. President.
Just kidding, President Obama, I would leave the heater on too, and forget all about Global Warming (which we all know is an invention by Al Gore, just like the internet).

Re Michael Hansen: Once a scam artist, always a scam artist?

This is a response to Tenderfoot’s questions in an older article.

It’s over for McCain

But let’s not forget why McCain would make a bad president in 2009:
1)  Wants to pursue the “War on Terror” in Iraq. But can never explain why.
2)  Doesn’t understand economics. (Ron Paul has tried explaining economics to him countless times.)
3)  Some of McCain’s retarded legislation as Senator included trying to kick Iran off the FIFA [...]

Life after Ron Paul: Obama, Hillary and McCain dissected.

If you get busy, like me, you may have stopped following Ron Paul’s progress after the Primary results came in. It’s not that I lost interest in Ron Paul’s politics, but rather that I lost interest in modern U.S. presidential politics.
What are we left with as viable candidates? There is Obama, Hillary, and McCain.

We issue 200,000 student visas a year. One of the hijackers had an F-1 student visa. The majority had tourist, business, or visit visas.
