Thank You, Joe Paterno, R.I.P. – Video

The Making Of A United States Marine
(I respectfully ask that all of you, Republican, Democrat, Tea Partier, whatever, take a 5 minute break from your partisan politics and read the story of just one individual who is a member of a much larger group that makes all of this bickering possible.)

TRUE LABOR DAY HEROES

Be on the lookout for terrorists such as this man.
TEA Party members like him are dangerous to Obamamerica. They have a warped sense of Justice and demand we all follow the Constitution and the Bill of Rights instead of what our Glorious Leaders want. Do not try to apprehend. Instead call Obama's Terrorist Hotline or the FBI.
