Folks, you’ll have to excuse this one.
This is one of Robert Stacy McCain’s buddies coming here to start
trouble with me. I’ve banned him from being able to comment here. I
don’t need his kind around here. He’s one of the people that furthered
the slander against me, back when I and Mike Hendrix had our little
fight. I haven’t forgotten that at all. Further more, he’s friends with
people I despise. So, he’s gone. I’m also gonna block his IP from
viewing here too.
No because you can’t be both against big gov’t but then want it to intervene based on your personal beliefs.
Amen to that; this is why I cannot stand Rick Santorum. He’s a damned statist, who wants to impose HIS Social agenda on us. We already got that with Obama. We don’t need another George W. Bush big Government Statist running the White House starting illegal wars. We had enough of that.
Exactly why is Ron Paul correct? Because he says so?
Cute, Teach, Real cute.
I won’t bother getting into it; it wouldn’t do any good. You’re a NEO-CON and they don’t usually listen to reason. So, it’s a lost cause with you.
and BTW, you didn’t name the Blogosphere, someone else did in 1999.
Huh?
