Are you guys high? He’s not on any of the ballots!  
You’re going to have to put him as a write-in candidate to vote him out of office.

**Cisco** : is now the right time to buy gold?

Will colloidal silver help me survive the inevitable (but somewhat delayed) doom of Y2K?

Is it true that the Third Amendment was improperly ratified?

Finally, I’m not sure what type of tea bags to hang off of my giant (and ironical) sombrero next time I hit the streets to protect freedom. English breakfast? Earl Grey? Just plain ol’ Lipton?

Thanks for your help.

Oh hell yes! I can finally get some slaves to go work for me and have my women the way I like them, subjugated, barefoot & in the kitchen. Plus without BIG GOVERNMENT getting in my way, I can finally set up a meth lab on that great piece of property next to the day car center.

1776 FTW!

Only if you have a safe in your own house and guns to protect it with (if Obama hasn’t taken them yet. Better hurry).

So has Cisco always been a retard? For some reason I only had him pegged as a little slow.

Of course I’m accepting his word that he isn’t taking the piss. 😃

So was I, certainly not everyone in the country was free in 1776. Come on, if you want to return to the past at least have the balls to go all the way. None of this pick & choose bullshit.

God, don’t be such a kool-aid drinking liberal. You know exactly what I mean when I say 1776. Don’t pretend like I want to have slaves picking cotton again. Most of us were free at that time and you know it.

Hey, kool-aid is nice and refreshing on a hot afternoon, and since it’s liberal kool-aid that means its free!

By “most of us” did you mean “white males” ? Because I think at that point in the history of the US that was the only group with any significant rights.

Now if you’ll excuse me I have to drive my native american neighbors out of their house so I can put in a badminton court.

You guys have no interest in freedom. All you are interested in is smearing me. Remember Remember the 2nd of November.

I want to go back to England in 1665 and bring back the Royal Society, the Englightenment, have a sit down with a young John Locke.

But not the plague, the slavery, or the economic system.

The Russian declaration of war against the Ottoman Empire in 1914? I know man, brings a tear to my eye every year. God Bless the Motherland and God Bless the Czar!

No, I think **Cisco** is making reference to the [Levelland UFO case](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levelland_UFO_Case).

Given that he’s been recommending [Matt Taibi articles elsewhere](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=13014408#post13014408). I’d say that yes, Cisco is taking the piss.
