52. Your car sports the bumper sticker saying that "it will be a great day when our schools have all the money they need and the military has to hold bake sales," but oppose allowing the U.S. military to volunteer recruitment tables on college campuses because of their "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy.

Watching the Democrats, it's clear that power is a narcotic (only remedied by a humble attitude of public service while in office), and the Democrats are suffering from severe withdrawal. The Dems remind me of a heroin addict with the shakes who will do and say absolutely anything to get another fix. They've lost all sense of propriety and dignity. They don't even put up a civil front any more. They're just a sick, pathetic group of junkies who would sell their grandmothers' jewelry for another fix. They are self-absorbed, and self- destructive. They should all be in rehab. I don't think the majority of Americans are so codependent that they'll give these addicts access to the White House in the near future.
