…Obama said, ‘I welcome debate among my team, but I won’t tolerate division’.

Division Military Team
When you hear in the tape recordings Nixon’s own voice saying, We have to stonewall, We have to lie to the Grand Jury, We have to pay burglars a million dollars, it’s all too clear the horror of what went on.

Editors Would Be Stories
The Washington Times wrote a story questioning the authenticity of some of the suggestions made about me in Silent Coup. But as a believer in the First Amendment, I believe they have more than a right to air their views.

I think that everyone is kind of confused about the information they get from the media and rightly so. I’m confused about the information I get from the media.
