Do moderate Muslims revolt?

The South Camp Perimeter...

Does America stand against tyranny?

The answer is sometimes, and that is sad. This country was founded through violent revolution against a tyrannical government. We created the most beautiful founding documents that any country ever has in the Declaration and our Constitution. The core...

Annoying text messsages

I'm not one of those people who live with their nose in their Blackberry constantly responding to inaninty after inanity. It is almost comical to watch these people unable to control themselves and like a monkey in a crack experiment, just hitting...
