Freepers .. eat your hearts out...


WASHINGTON — Dozens of prominent Republicans — including top advisers to former President George W. Bush, four former governors and two members of Congress — have signed a legal brief arguing that gay people have a constitutional right to marry, a position that amounts to a direct challenge to Speaker John A. Boehner and reflects the civil war in the party since the November election.

That is there specialty. If they fade into irrelevance, that would be fine with me.

5. The freepers and baggers left those people behind long ago, though. They're too liberal.

And reality doesn't bother them one single bit as they isolate themselves and drool over their dried food, guns, ammo and weird religious tracts.

They should all go live in a third world country, because that's the type of "leadership" they want to provide, and that isn't what America stands for.
