How Quickly We Forget: Afghanistan is Obama’s War, Not Bush’s
When he was a senator (and a presidential candidate), Barack Obama pounded away at President George Bush repeating almost daily that the US should leave Iraq and become more engaged in fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan. He said Afghanistan was the battlefield for America’s military. Obama got his wish. Under his leadership, we’ve retreated from Iraq and before long that country may be lost to Islamic extremists. What’s Obama’s record bringing the battle to the Taliban? 70% of total U. S. military fatalities in Afghan occurred under Obama’s watch – or should we say, mishandling of the conflict. (more…)

Cong. Joe Walsh for Repealing the Death Tax
The real threat to America isn’t from Islamic fundamentalists, or Iran, or even North Korea. The real enemies of this nation are the rich who live within our borders – just ask Barack Obama and the leaders of the Democratic Party. The Democrats want to levy even higher taxes on small businesses and those of us who are successful and are employers of millions of Americans.
