Yep, fucktard, that’s me. All the trouble of 20 seconds of my life. I’m sure that’s a lot of effort for you libs. I’d be more than willing to compare resume’s, degrees and intellectual aptitude with you all but I’m pretty sure my time would be better spent campaigning for some speckle-headed blind tit-mouse that’s about to go extinct like you tree hugging bleeding heart retards. Hopefully I can muster enough brain cells and time in my life to un-register and block this trash from my memory. Have a good day!:smack: ---

Well, if people want to believe they’re running away from a bunch of stupid “liberals” that can’t think straight and feel they need to go elsewhere for ‘intelligence’, I’m not one to stop them. It must be horrible to know that you hold the truth and other people are fucking idiots to argue with you by using liberal “facts” that you are convinced are not true. But Buddy, you picked the wrong damned board. Not because we’re all liberals or anything, but because we don’t allow bullshit to be presented as truth without calling it out. Yeah, you have to defend your beliefs and claims here, left, right, up, down, pseudo-whatever. If you can’t actually do that with facts and reality, then you’re wrong, and you’re chosing to BE wrong. You won’t get (much) sympathy or support for that here. Go back to the Echo Chamber where Benghazi is the worst, most despicably horrible act of a Secretary of State ever, and revel in your ignorance of the incredible numbers of embassy and consulate attacks under Bush and Reagan. ---
