Weren't we supposed to save Africa from Joseph Kony?

You know, that guy who was going to be the new Hitler and whom the irresponsible far-left pacifists were "supporting/appeasing".

What happened? Get in line ISIS, there a few more "new Hitlers" that are still out there.

petitions, and the hundreds of thousands of E-mails their interns had to read.

I knew the thing was going nowhere when I saw that annoying guy getting all buddy buddy with sleazy bastard James Inhoefe.
