“Today the Democratic Party is all about how much money and entitlements they can give away,” he continued. “But they’re not giving away their own money—they’re giving away your money.”

I fully support all children in the United States having equal access to a quality education. And one part of that education should be centered on learning the American experience, our history, our fundamental principles and values. There is no doubt we’ve failed almost two generations in teaching them the basics — civics and such. And now as our open borders policy floods America with non-Americans, we have to ask, are we teaching or indoctrinating in our public school system?
Well, there’s one public school system in America bending over backwards to accommodate a group that presents a very interesting irony in our country. TO READ MORE: http://gopthedailydose.com/2016/04/06/us-schools-now-muslim-students-unreal/

When you’re running for the nomination of a party who prides itself in the full unapologetic support of police, it’s important to never slander those men and women – EVER!
Ohio Governor John Kasich who’s currently in third place for the Republican nomination was just recently outed for speaking unfavorably about a police officer who pulled him over back in 2011 concerning an incident that originated in 2008.
You know things are bad when even the socialists are fed up with having to support the Muslim freeloaders. It seems that immigration policies of France, are seriously changing. The country is no longer able to hold back the crowd of Muslim invaders, many of whom do not want to integrate into the social and economic life of their new home country, and are content to live off the state and breed like rabbits.
