As a matter of fact, it's my $4500 he's giving to them......

Only because Barry Goldwater and William F. Buckley are both dead. Most of the remaining leading "conservatives" are honorless twits such as Sarah Palin who are addicted to pandering to the lowest common denominator, and who wouldn't know the Constitution from a roll of toilet paper without a quick refresher course on bathroom accessories.

Your description of "paradise" could be of thousands of places around the world. In the places you've been to, you obviously haven't had the time, desire, open-mindedness or perspicacity to see their good sides.

And by the way, where I live I don't feel the need to own a gun to defend myself (very little violent crime), I pay a pittance for what is probably better health care than BG has and, and, and... (the list could become *very* long!) |
