Yes.

People may differ in their thought about how to govern, but this goes beyond any rational thinking.

I can listen to libs, I can listen to comservs, but I will not listen to idiots.

I did not make that clear. I MEANT between today's liberals, today's conservatives and stupid. I have not heard a sane word out of any of them lately.

Today's "Neo-Libs" want to rule. Today's "Neo-Cons" want to rule. Neither have any respect for the People or their liberty and freedom.

Besides,

NONE of the know how to HUNKER and there in lies the problem.

The truth is it is patently ridiculous and the painful truth is it is primarily liberals because that is what the universities have cranked out for the last few decades and the dumber than dirt liberal morons who hatched this plan are a product of that system. Sorry to have to say what you don't want to hear but that's how it is.

I would hate to be a NYC taxpayer and realize I was paying for that kind of foolishness. Bad news is it will probably go national and we will all be paying for it.

This was actually a move to appease Jehovah's Witnesses.

Even the most conservative of conservatives has to agree one can be liberal without being an idiot, wouldn't you agree?
