Delusional and Stupid Tax Deniers -
Joel Hirschhorn (2,835) 
Joel Hirschhorn
Year after year some Americans refuse to accept truth, reality, law and the courts. They see themselves as discovering what others have not.

We all have a driving force that pushes us through our lives. It is a real, yet invisible whisper that tells us what is right and what is wrong.

The People's U.S. Constitution: Ariticle II, The Executive Branch -
Jeff Brown (9,928) 
Jeff Brown
Article II is about one-third the length of Article I . Why? Well, some may say to give the president more power or flexibility.
