6. One of the hottest place in hell....

Sun Apr 21, 2013, 06:44 PM

Apr 2013

is reserved for those who remain silent during a time when moral courage is needed.

We all know Karl Rove is the spawn of Satan, who will probably have a high ranking position in hell, but I'm calling out Eric Holder and Barack Obama for being complete cowards on this whole affair! Eric Holder is more worried about pot in CO and WA than taking a righteous stand on ANYTHING and President Obama should have pardoned Don Siegelman once he was re-elected.

Are the Democrats afraid they'll lose Alabama in 2016 and alienate the South? Give me a break! Who gives a shit what the Republicans would say if Don Seigelman is freed?
