Looking reality in the face [View all]

We are dealing with the largest crime syndicate in history. As the NY Post reported, it puts Al Capone to shame. They are dealing in lies, extortion, theft, murder, and all other crimes that are necessary for their continued survival.

Republicans are no longer a political Party - they are working for the syndicate. It's a sad fact.

We are seeing bread and circuses. Gladiators fight and the people are entertained. How long before they are cheering for the lions to eat the "traitors"?

Dream on, poor children.
