Obama’s Red Tendencies

It’s been no secret that Obama is one of the most left-wing members of the Senate.  However, just how far left wasn’t as clear before as it is now.  In fact, he’s not that far removed from Robert Mugabe.

By Mike

I’ve been doing a fair bit of thinking lately, and perhaps my previous post about Windows users was a bit hasty.  You see, Windows does have 90% of the market.  That must mean they’re doing something right.  There’s no way they would have gotten that market share without being the best platform.   Well, the point...
