Obama’s out to rid the world of terrorists, one drone strike at a time. He’s particularly worried about those inside the United States. In fact, he’s so bent on ending their threats that his administration is listening to our phone calls, intercepting our emails, and desperately trying to protect us from reporters who investigate the Benghazi scandal.

Yet there’s one well known, unrepentant, terrorist who has managed to escape the President’s gaze.  We speak, of course, of Bill Ayers.   Continue reading “Obama should be tried for war crimes ….says terrorist Bill Ayers?”

Critics of the homosexual lifestyle have long claimed that once it became acceptable to identify homosexuality as simply an “alternative lifestyle” or sexual orientation, logically nothing would be off limits. “Gay” advocates have taken offense at such a position insisting this would never happen. However, psychiatrists are now beginning to advocate redefining pedophilia in the same way homosexuality was redefined several years ago.   Continue reading “Pedophiles want same rights as homosexuals”
