You couldn't tell by the number of points I've been awarded. (warnings/demerits .. whatever)

Yeah, I've had to tone it down, too.

It costs me $4.00 a day for cheap red wine.

I hope no one takes offense at this.

I'll probably die of sulfite poisoning.

With freedom comes personal responsibility...and THAT scares the poopoo out of a lot of people.

I agree. So I've begun to use the term "rim job Democrats" to balance things out. It's an equally offensive term.

Who says he wants to end public education?

Is your name supposed to be ironic?

Ron Paul has stated several times both verbally and his books that he wants to end the Dept. of Education. He believe education should be handled privately or at the very least through local or state means.

I bet not too many predicted that Obama could force through a massive government take-over of the health care industry, either.

And the point is that every step in the RIGHT direction is just that--a step in the right direction. We need to stop charging pell-mell down the road to even Bigger Government, bigger debt, and suffocating economy.

That's a far cry from ending public education.

If you are going to carry around signs calling Obama a racist, Muslim, African , monkey, then you should have the balls to take any jabs thrown at you.
Let me clear this up

Political correctness - Twisting your facts in order to not offend people.
Non political correctness - Speaking the truth without regard for people's feelings.
Being an ******* - Going out of your way to insult people. <- This is you

Give me a break. To the politically correct crowd I say sit on it.
Politically correct? Do you know what the term means? This has nothing to do with being PC and everything to do with vulgarity.
