• President Bush Speaks the Truth of Appeasement in Israel

  Crossposted from Flopping Aces And Democrats are outraged! You can usually tell when President Bush hits the bullseye of truth. Democrats erupt into childish fits. They don’t like it when the President points out how little they have learned from the lessons of history and how dangerously misguided liberal policies are. When President [...]

• NO VEEP SLOT FOR HILLARY
