President Obama said Friday that he did not believe his race was the cause of fierce criticism aimed at his administration in the contentious national debate over health care, but rather that the cause was a sense of suspicion and distrust many Ameri...  [Read More]

No, I didn't; I just believe that more than enough is "regulated" already with no tangible benefit aside from more revenue for our already boated and corrupt government (woohoo), and that if people want to behave in an immoral fashion they...  [Read More]
