What makes you believe everything is supposed to be free, Mr. Marx?
Oh you, you want to kill Big Bird?
IThe site asked me to subscribe to read the information, I will NOT pay for another opinion. Can’t believe, even after I said “please” you called me a “spoiled little girlie Communist” and “Mr Marx”. No PERSONAL ATRACK there. You give Free Republic a real lefty feel.
You must be a special whiny little Commie girl.
