So, how many chemical rounds were actually used? Round numbers will be fine.

Hundreds of thousands Iraqis were liberated from this earthly plane. Am I to gather from your tone that they don't count as people?

That ONLY applies to people born abroad whose parents were living abroad. It has nothing to do with people born in the US, as Obama was, and it's after age 14, not 15 or 21.

I am praying harder for "The Rapture" than Palin is as it would be most gratifying to have her and her army of dingbats sucked up into the ether never to be seen or heard from again. I've waited since the last Presidential election to hear this woman and her rabid followers say something that is remotely intelligent or thruthful. Empty barrels do make the most noise.

Apparently you do not understand the concept of free speech. That is probably why you are a liberal.

Free speech does not have to be "factual" (according to your New York world of liberal relativism), nor does it have to agree with your world view.

Again, hopefully we will still have free speech during the Obama administration, but with more and more posts by oppressive liberals, it appears as though the tenets of fascism have certainly taken root under Obama.

You should respect and applaud the right of free speech, not try to quell it. Soon, they will come even after the liberals.
Disagreeing with what someone says is being an enemy of the Constitution?

What a bizarre thing to say!

Free speech zone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The most prominent examples were those created by the United States Secret Service for President George W. Bush and other members of his administration.[3] Free speech zones existed in limited forms prior to the Presidency of George W. Bush; it was during Bush's presidency that their scope has been greatly expanded.[4]

Default Watch them call me racist, elitist, etc...

Here in Chicago we joke that the Mason-Dixie line is 2 hours south of Chicago (takes 7 hours to drive from northern end to southern end). This is generalizing, but many of us feel that if you are in Central or Southern Illinois, you might as well be in Alabama. Enough said.
