Their children and grandchildren have since taken it to a whole new level. The next generation is going to take their mental illness even further.

Legalizing gay marriage opened the door to every freak show in town.
Obama fundamentally changed the USA for the worse. He was a hateful, spiteful man, but a good friend of large corporate America. Just like his donkey Biden.
