Come on... the liberal dictionary defines "privacy" as the right to kill an unborn child.

I'm totally disgusted with the lies and propaganda these idiots are spreading. 

Public property: That which is purchased and maintained by tax dollars for the benefit of all people.

Private property: That which is not purchased or maintained by tax dollars and is for the benefit of the property owner.

Do it the government way: don't ban the "health" board, just zone it out of existence.

I belong to The Italian American Club. You have to come on to the property and use your key card to buzz yourself in. There is only one way for the city to enforce a ban of this kind. WARRANTLESS SEARCHES!

You are making me want to start a garden. Stop it!

Well, it appears to be official. MA is now re-named "The people's Republic of Massachusetts"

Unless of course one of the members is a smoking Nazi and becomes an informant.

This can only enhance the camaraderie at "private" clubs.

Do I need a sarcasm tag?

Happened awful fast, didn't it?

And it's not just Massachusetts, it's spreading like a cancer everywhere.
