From what I am seeing, that is about all they learn anymore...

This is brilliant editorializing, especially in light of the Berzerkly fires.

Liberals showing the entire country and the world that they are truly “insane!” Proof positive up front and personal. They have become the Party of Wackos and Sedition.
