  • Obama opens himself up for criticisms

  • Free speech does not exist in Islam

    I recently saw another “Coexist” bumper sticker. The car had an Obama/Biden sticker, also. The news from France and around the world proves that Muslims do not believe, teach or practice this motto.

    It is time for lawmakers to consider how rural and small town mail is suffering.

Well, maybe next year.
