Spoken like a true pigheaded yankee. By the way I served for 20 years on active duty to protect your right to free speech, yet you want to label me and silence my free speech. So tell me, where and when did you serve? Fair warning, if you haven't served you best be apologizing for ignorant statements like the one you just made. We of southern descent can be justifiably proud of our forebearers, they fought for what they knew to be constitutionally right. You on the other hand should hang your head in shame as your side fought to enslave free men, and overturn everything the Founders gave us. Besides, it wasn't about slavery, cretin, IT WAS ABOUT PARITY IN THE HALLS OF POWER (i.e. Congress)! Go back and do some in-depth research before you come back and talk to me.
it's like trying to teach a hog to sing. the hog doesn't understand & it will frustrate you.
both "mr. spin" & the hog are UNteachable.
