All these people need are the brown shirts and jocspurs but they gotten smarter over the years and keep those in the bedroom. You think I jest...the right wing has become the most dogmatic and consistantly on message political group in America and all too ready to shout down and/or smear anybody who dare question their assumptions. We see it on here all the time and you know it. Someone please tell me, with all the prisons in America, what we need camps for?
