The Spinning of Sandy Hook
What happened in Sandy Hook CT last week was an outright massacre…no doubt about it. More to the point, it was an act of terror IMO, an act of cowardice by a lunatic that struck fear into every parent with school age children across this country. It did not take long however, for the lib-tard…
