I am sorry you suffer from leprosy of the brain. Maybe your man Obama can provide you with adequate health care options.

Hmm. So because I consider lepers to be unclean and contagious I must be an Obama supporter.

That's very cute, Zippy, how you arrived at that.

Tell you what.

You find any post anywhere of mine supporting Obama and I'll contribute
$100.00 per letter to your favorite candidate or charity.

I eagerly await your response, detailing how you have no clue what you are talking about.

You make the erroneous assumption that I would care to waste even the least bit of time giving a flying F what you have posted. Later Sparky.

Cute way to admit you are a clueless puppy!

Don't wet the carpet on your way out.

Why do you think he is a saint? He also died of leprosy.

He chose to serve without counting the cost.

I guess that you might say you choose to count the cost before you serve......is that correct?

That’s not how God judges.

Do you support the handling of lepers?

There are medical guidelines, even laws regarding handling of such biohazards in the workplace.

I guess that you might say you choose to count the cost before you serve...

I'd sure as hell wear gloves.
