Not extinct, but perhaps on the endangered list. President Obama intends to be an activist it seems to me. Expect navy seals to all be brought up on murder charges. We can't allow success you know.

How can we adequately honor the hero? Perhaps by educating our children about marxism and cult worship before they come of age to vote? Perhaps by not letting those that hate America become teachers? This is not a simple battle that can be won in an election.
