little about the Left. They don't "get it out of their systems" and then kowtow, like those making suck demands. We are just getting this movement started. You can try to muffle us and censor us here but we won't sit down and shut up as long as the Big Money that you guys seem to revere so highly, has control of our government. I guess the Big Money makes you comfortable in spite of all the suffering they cause.
