No, not everybody has to tolerate the stupidity in the name of "patriotism".

Sure did, but since you wanted to play games with my posts, I thought I could play with yours too.

Then you should have, a long time ago. Don't worry, you still can... Try it.

But don't hate being questioned for the premise of your post. Trust me, I won't.

I have no problem being questioned on the premise. I don't want the premise twisted. I suggested that wanting people arrested for a different opinion didn't seem very tolerant which was surprising from those that preach tolerance. Would you agree?

Marxists and Communists are well known for rounding up and exterminating the opposition.

I would like to ask any lawyers here on CD if it would be Constitutional to use RICO to arrest and prosecute the Tea Party leaders.
If you feel the strongly, why not go after the Tea Party yourself in a civil action???

I think any lawyers here on CD would prefer to have links to support your accusations rather than make hypothetical judgements based on things you just make up.

Be sure to include the links showing those were actually union goons who were guilty of your accusations rather than old wrinkled white haired tea bagging idiots.

i have a question. can obama be prosecuted for war crimes?

168 Children Murdered By US Drones « Antiwar.com Blog

you want to talk about terrorism to the US?

what about losing our AAA rating?

what about devaluing our currency?

what about letting an international banking cartel have unlimited control of our currency, and being able to HIDE what they do?

what about backing israel while they build YET MORE SETTLEMENTS. if that isn't incendiary, i don't know what is:

Israel Slaps U.S. in the Face Again | The National Interest Blog

what about flat out lying about the actual purpose of the bank bailout money?

what about flat out lying about the actual purpose of the stimulus? (what shovel ready jobs?)

what about forming a freaking "supercommittee"?

what about MANDATORY health insurance whether you want it or not.

what about having senators openly say that we aren't going to like the patriot act when we find out what is in it?

what about a congress that says let's pass the bill so we can all see what is in it?

what happened to our freedoms, and i ask who are the REAL racketeers?



don't tell me we need to go after the one group which is trying to get some accountability for an OUT OF CONTROL congress and presidency.
