Politicking

Sometimes, only sometimes, I manage to actually think about how the world is being run and whether I agree or disagree with it.



Watching the Stormfront

Friday, October 31st, 2008

Maybe It’s morbidity or something, but after the recent Assassination attempts on Barack Obama, my curiousity got the best of me and I decide to get a perspective from White Nationalists.
