And I was a sucker.

We all were about something; I actually thought Larry Klayman was noble.

For about a week. ;-)

Just wait until the Liberal Democrats get back in power because of some Republicans are not happy, and those Democrats/Liberals will alliance themselves with the UN and demand that the USA pay back to the rest of the world for " Globe Warming Damages " reparations.
If these people get back in power, and we have to pay any kind of reparations, our economy, and country ( not that it already is, but, worse ) will go broke and go under.
Think about it fair weather Republicans/Conservatives, if you decide not to vote, or vote 3 rd party this November , the alternative is worse.

Very telling, and very repulsive. Thanks!

I've claimed I'm of several different ethic groups on the last 3 census'. Who's to say I'm not what I say I am. What's the criteria for each group?

Let him pay it if he wants too. I'm only second generation here on both sides. Why should I have to pay? He is a moron.

What about the reparations that the blacks owe the Jews ?

Remember ? Hey John Conyers ? you and the black folk OWE !!! the Jews for the 400 years that Pharaoh ( Egypt - African nation ) had the Jews in bondage for 400 years.

Global Warming damages...
That means that Puegeut(sp), the French auto-maker would have to take back it's slogan "Creator of the Automobile"...
I think the Germans would have to throw in a couple pennies, too, considering how much they smoke.

There probably was a week when Larry Klayman was noble, so that would explain that.



;O)

Keyes didn't favor just cutting checks. Keyes thought blacks (I guess figuring out which were descendants of slaves, and which not, was too administratively difficult, so Colon Powell gets to not pay taxes too) should get an income tax holiday, and not have to pay taxes for some period of time, I don't remember how long. Of course, for those blacks who don't pay income taxes, well, they are left out in the cold. It was sort of reparations light for more well to do blacks, I guess as a reward for their success in overcoming it all.

Any chance of getting Hillary to pony up the 900+ FBI files she has? Didn't think so.

Scolding the voters because they don't like what their party is doing is probably not going to help the cause. If Conyers is raised on high the folks to blame all have names that start with Senator and end with (R).

Some poor family from Appalachia pays higher taxes so Bill Cosby gets a tax cut?



Ach!
