No amendments protecting civil rights were passed. Obama Administration, (Mr. Nobel) told congress to weaken civil rights protections. There are so many things Obama has done already that prove he is not worthy of a Nobel Peace Prize. Your elected officials screwing America over. Has anyone here called their senator or congress person? Idiots on the left stop putting Obama on a pedestal, he is as bad as Bush.

Jerome Daly is one of the few men to take on the might of the Federal Reserve in the courts and win. 40 years ago, a Minnesota bank attempted to foreclose on Daly`s mortgage but he humiliated them, thanks to his profound knowledge of Fractional Reserve Banking and a courageous, scrupulously honest judge. The judge delivered a dynamite decision that blasted the Federal Reserve and National Banks as unconstitutional and fraudulent. Understandably, the bankers have tried to bury this case and keep…

I must admit, I sat and watched this video with mouth open, and not sure what to say. Let me first say with a little tongue-in-cheek that this Miley Cyrus song “Party in the USA” should not be getting this much airtime, but thats just me. But the actual sickening part is that a major news network, and I use that term loosely, would exploit these children on the air to sing a song about Obama and his healthcare plan. Even more disturbing to me is that they clearly learned this song in school,…
