The Koch Brothers, Tea Party, and far-out conservative Republicans, not on the political spectrum of left-right American politics, are bent on destroying American’s way of life.

The American people aren’t interested in reducing the national debt, really. They’re welcoming the burdening of their children for a thousand years and aren’t interested in reducing the national debt by about 30%.

For months politicians in Memphis and Nashville have bombarded the Memphis City School system with negative attacks. They have passed laws with race as their number reason for doing so; along with their ideas that African-American city school students would pull down the grade value of Shelby County schools and increase violence to boot; that Memphis […]
