As I walked from the back of [...]

I find one group in particular so foul so disgusting so rude so despicable that I intentionally left their groups name off this post. This groups feels the need to punish [...]

Happy 100th Birthday Mr. Reagan

It was 100 years ago today that Ronald Reagan was born. Mr Reagan was the John F. Kennedy of my generation. He was an actor, a governor, a President and a hero. I have included a few videos of his speeches just to remind us of what a great man he was.

Elizabeth Smart is a Hero…

10.01.2009 Hero
