Meanwhile Liberals love you're thought process.

You seem fixated with implied homosexuality...c'mon Dog...come clean, let that burden go.

How long?

The only way you can get better is to first admit the problem. Dont worry, I hate the sin not the sinner.

Let's hear it.

Well, I'm sure English teachers don't love "you're" spelling.

Why am I not surprised? You sound just like a self-loather.

Honestly, how many times were you dropped on your face as a child? From the looks of that picture, I'd say at least a score, perhaps two . . . and from a great height, at that. Didn't seem to help you with your spelling, either. That error on your ultra-immature flashing graphic has got to be a Free Republic classic.

Then by all means spirit of a punked out dead Liberal writer....continue to use it. Haha...

[VaBthang4]

Well, considering most of those are members of the National Teachers Union...they probably love your thought process as well.

Another few drops in the bucket. Yeah LeRoy - another drug siezure - just more evidence the WOD is failing. If siezures increase, we'll REALLY be losing the WOD.

Well, I think he was in the Navy...

[jmc813]

Well, considering most of those

Most of them.

Yawn...I guess weedwhacking doesn't interfere with one's grammar.

Hahaha

2,600 pounds of marijuana worth about $2.1 million during= $50/ounce?

It must not have been very high quality. If it were the street price would have been $16 million.

I'm not a Libertarian, toothless. And the word "tread" has an "a" in it.

[TKDietz]

If you disagree what I said in post #31, please enlighten me as to how I am wrong. Please tell me how the war on drugs is being won.

[toothless]

I agree with you completly. My post was a jab at the original poster of the image. Hince the [/sarcam] mark after the image.
