As in, the landslide that was the election came from people that knew full well what Obama was all about. That The Castros’ Black Knight The death last week of Juan Almeida, Cuba’s most prominent Afro-descended leader, leaves just three “historicos,” survivors of all the revolution’s conflicts and crises of the last fifty-six years.

There is a Jewish tale , in which a man is promised that he will be granted any wish he chooses, so long as his neighbour will get twice as much. After some thought he states his wish: please put me out one of my eyes! This is a very American attitude. An American refuses to get free medical care, if the condition is that others will get it, too. This we learned from the rallies against Obama’s health reform.

Nancy Pelosi was "Shipwrecked in A Hurricane of Lies" by Jim Quinn “I believe that it is better to tell the truth than a lie. I believe it is better to be free than to be a slave. And I believe it is better to know than to be ignorant.” – H.L. Mencken "As I survey what passes for governance in this country today, I yearn for the days past when truth meant something.
