These hunters and shooters greatly benefit from a left-handed firearm, and Savage is proud to supply them with dependable and accurate left-handed choices.� |

At the esteemed Potomac School Of Leadership, the founding principle hammered into rookie politicians, world leaders and tyrants, which has included the likes of Ghandi, FDR, Mao, Churchill, Mandela, Castro, and Jimmy Carter, is how to deescalate an epic civic crises.
While the faculty of the institution has historically been handpicked from the who�s who of global college professors one elbow patch on the blazer away from sparking a cultural revolution, the underlying lesson is simple, always maintain an intense, yet carefree composure. Proud graduate and political incumbent Nancy Pelosi, continues to defy logic with a sterling display of cognitive abilities that rival the psychological flaws and complexities of Hannibal Lecter. |

TO REMEMBER |
| America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She well knows that by one enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence, she would involve herself beyond the power of extrication in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy and ambition, which assume the colors and usurp the standards of freedom. � JOHN QUINCY ADAMS (1821) |
