Liberalism is a mental disorder.

Hey nut jobs, its not about going back to any era. Since you're too idiotic to figure it out and use some common sense, there's no use trying to explain anything to you

I'll settle for going back to 2007 when we had low taxes and record government revenue coming in, record stock market indexes, along with low gas prices, low grocery prices, and low electric rates

I am not conservative so I do not want to go back to any past. I want to go to a decent future with a democratic government and a real capitalist economy instead if descending into sexist, racist, paranoia society and corporation controlled government.
