ANOTHER REASON TO SEAL THE BORDERS

Hat tip to Neal Boortz. If we had secure borders, another 1,000,000 child sex crimes might not have occurred. Why? Because almost a quarter of a million illegal alien sex offenders have poured across our southern border with an average of four child victims each, say the results of a study by the Violent [...]

Wilbert Javier Prado, the man killed by officer Alfonzo Glover after stalking Glover and trying to run him down.

WITHDRAWAL

Hat tip to Patrick at Badger Blogger. RedState is calling for an immediate withdrawal from the quagmire known as Wisconsin and is calling on Rep. Murtha for his support.
