Since hinting that Attorney General Eric Holder would be unleashed on the previous administration over allegations of torture, it’s been confirmed that the CIA briefed members of both parties in Congress over 30 times about their “enhanced interrogation” programs. House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi has denied these reports as she calls for investigations while claiming, “We were not – I repeat – were not told that waterboarding or any of these other enhanced interrogation methods were used.” Despite her insistence to the contrary, the Washington Post ran an article in 2007 which placed Pelosi, who was the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee at the time, in a 2002 secret CIA briefing where four members of Congress were briefed in explicit detail about interrogation methods to be used on terrorist suspects and given a virtual tour of detention centers.

This is the perfect symbol of Obama's economic and social programs. Except this donkey is at least appearing to resist...

Before the election, I started the Anti-Obamassiah Refuge which took a very serious look at the character and policies of the man who has since taken over as President of the United States of America. Since the election, we have seen Barack Hussein Obama work diligently to change the entire economic, policital, and social structure of the nation with little, or no, opposition.

The path that Obama and his congressional Democrat colleagues have hurtled the country head-on leads nowhere but restricted liberties all in the name of “change” and “reshaping America.” Most of these policies have been attempted elsewhere with less-than-appealing results. They won’t have any more luck here.

There are people out there who still respect the sovereignty of the US Constitution and do not support an exponential growth of government power. Please visit often and feel free to leave some comments whether you agree with anything or not. Thanks for reading.
