Straight Talk on Truth
Maybe the purveyor of the "Straight Talk Express" will capitalize on some issues that will benefit the country and serve the truth instead of the convenient untruths we’ve all been forced to live under.

Obama Does Not Understand Nuremberg
It amazes me that Barack Obama, who taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School for more than a decade, would be unaware of the legal controversy surrounding Nuremberg and the commotion it caused within the U.S. Supreme Court. If Obama taught the U.S. Constitution to his students the same way the Reverend Jeremiah Wright preached to his congregation then heaven help us all.
