  The Thinker — Authority: 421
  Wake up America! Shocked! Is perhaps the only word we can use with any degree of professionalism around here given the outrageousness of the ‘ruling elite’ we have in Washington D.C.

  Not undocumented rather illegal aliens It appears – rather obviously – that there was much more at stake in the interim elections last night other than becoming a new Governor, or re-election of other incumbents.

• Public opinion…does it matter?

  
  The Thinker — Authority: 421
  You betcha! It is no wonder insofar as when a nation’s sovereignty, welfare, and cohesion begins to erode – moreover, when uninformed and greedy people look to score mammoth amounts of money and still worse – aim to influence and change public policy by whatever means, we feel that there is a real virus ...
