Super wimp, not power

Mon., April 14, 2014

Super power? We used to be. Super wimps is what we have become. Not just because of wimpy President Obama; we haven’t won a war since World War II. Why? Stupidity. Oh yeah, and greed. If you don’t think politicians are making millions of dollars from these wars, think again.

This is not what our Founding Fathers had in mind. Read the Constitution. It might wake you up, America.
