Brought to you by the clown who stole a seat for Al Franken-stein.
I no longer drink but the day Soros dies I may.I know hell is all warmed up for him and his cronies.I don't get Gays or Commies but Gay is between them and God,not for me to judge, but Communism IS between Them and Us and it is Satanic to the core,religion for the godless if you will.Once an apple starts to rot I've yet to see it stop.
Anonymous, you are so insightful! I agree with you 100% and I hope the worst chamber in hell has Soros' name on it!
There is hope and it will come today............please Lord, help America and its citizens, even the ones who were led astray with their left wing ideology.

FYI: I created the Seattle Liberation Front as an explicit opponent to the Weathermen and the Weath Underground. When J. Edgar Hoover and John Mitchell brought an indictment against me and 3 other SLF members, they also simultaneously indicted 4 Weathermen as part of an alleged conspiracy in the trial that became known as The Seattle Seven--a brilliant attempt to link me and the SLF to the Weathermen, brilliant because we stood trial together even though we couldn't stand each other precisely because I had formed SLF to oppose the Weathermen. So what exactly do you get out of falsely associating me with them? Also, I was never a member of the Democratic Socialists of America. I founded an organization called the New American Movement in the early 1970s, then left it and 9 years later it merged with the DSA. I spoke at the conference at which those two merged, but never was a member of DSA.
Seeing this distortion in the account, I caution other readers of this blog to recognize that the information here is completely unreliable!
