Arleen Ocasio has a chip on her shoulder. I am no fan of organized religion, but c'mon they have a right to practice their religion at a cemetary.

I couldn't agree with you more.

Didn't we used to have a First Amendment? You remember, the one that prohibited the government from interfering with the right to worship as one chooses?

“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

  • This election is about paychecks v. food stamps
Obama appointed a militantly gay man to be the "safe schools czar," and he promptly did all he could to push the gay agenda in K-12 schools. Wouldnt surprise me in the least if he appointed some anti-military, lesbian, Hispanic to run the Vets Admin too.

Thank you democrat party.
Reagan bankrupted the Soviet Empire ...

Obama is bankrupting the American Republic

“The national budget must be balanced. The public debt must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced, if the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.”
