He's wants to destroy thisRead More country as much as any Taliban extremist, only with economic disaster (i.e. ObamaCare) instead of bombs and airplanes.

I pray that this country will wake up soon and realize the horrific mistake that it's made and get this great nation back on a path to freedom and opportunity. If people like you, Liz, continue to prevail, then I pray for my children's future, for it will truly be bleak…
