Obama is the new Judge Dredd. No man should have this power, and still not sure how he does.

Going back to this. Rand Paul had a good speech today during session. He brings up great points and points the President needs to address.

Remember when President Obama supported the sequester cuts?

[YT]kj1y3q92sog[/YT]

First he was for it. Now it's all scare tactics.

Last year the Republican House passed two bills to have cuts instead of a sequester. What has Obama and the Democratic Senate put together, together or each on their own?

I'd say use a drone on Chicagos inner city. Not really but it just shows what happens when you take away the general populations right to protect themself.

Eventually, those cities will end up like Detroit. People will move away due to the violence, as will businesses, and it'll be a crime infested place. I'm sure the local politicians will blame the unions on this as well.

Let's check in with our good friend Scott Walker and see how his job creation is coming along.

All the dumb f*cks who think drill baby drill is the way to cheaper gas need to read this article.

We are producing more oil than ever and are producing so much energy we dont know how where to store it (see natural gas).

Why are these gas pricing still threw the f*cking roof? They affect everyone's daily life, from prices at the store, travel, small businesses...

We as a country need to wake the f*ck up, I cant believe this is not more of an issue.

Oil companies, wall street speculators, and the federal government are working together to keep these prices up.
