It is not great because we have the most assault rifles.

See, anyone can do that, Sedition Barbie.

That is an example of one of the huge government handouts programs that built this country.
We don't have any rain these days, but we do have the Hoover Dam; a damn lot of government largess built the southwest.

If she believed any of her spew she would stop accessing the publicly supported infrastructure. Stop eating. Stop using plumbing, roads, electric, cell. She'd be sending me personally a check out of her own pocket because I help support her way of life.

I could use my money back thanks.
