Our schools and colleges are turning out people who cannot feel fulfilled unless they are telling other people what to do.

The America that has flourished for more than two centuries is being quietly but steadily dismantled by the Obama administration.

I hate to think that someday Americans will be looking at the ruins of their cities and saying that this happened because their leaders were afraid of the word unilateral.

But, for the global warming scenario that is causing such hysteria, we have only a movie made by a politician and mathematical models whose results change drastically when you change a few of the arbitrarily selected variables.
