Oh, by the way - my post about the holocaust was pulled, because I used bad language to describe the perps.

Hit abuse all you want, I really don’t care.

It isn’t that at all. I just believe that a person who has to resort to taking the Lords name in vain to make a point, has lost the argument.

The Obama Administration keeps trying to hire LOOTERS and CRIMINALS that will go along with their LOOTER EMPIRE...yet..even the looters are jumping the sinking ship!

That should tell us all something. The cavalry is coming and they know it instinctively...like all rats do(except Nazi Pelosi, Reid and the rest of the hard marxists).

Many of us use bad language, to describe bad things. Doesn’t mean we are bad people.

I will freepmail you the concentration camp story.

You read it, you decide.

Thats fine. I do not have a problem with salty language. That is free expression. It crosses the line with blasphemy. I have used swear words here and there. There is a line, much like we have freedom of speech, yet cannot yell fire in a crowded theater. Some words just shouldn’t be said in combination, and God and da#& are two of them.

No, Cannon withdrew because the anti-gun activists were offended by his name.

EPA has always been a mixed bag. Some good people and programs; some dumb as dog crap and wacko.

Time for the Inspector General over there to get off of his/her ass and do a real proctological inspection of the EPA. Under Browner and some of the other ecofreaks now in the Administration, things are going to become unreal.

PS: I’ve been in the environmental cleanup arena for almost 20 years and I’m fearful that the looney tunes are going to destroy the good work that we have done.

Taxbilly: You may be hoping for a little pocket change. I’m just hoping for pants (with pockets). I don’t look good in barrels.

With those qualifications he should probably just run for Congress.

LoL!

At the rate he’s going, the President has a 50% chance of getting all his people in place by November 6,2012.

‘mismanaged $25 million in EPA grants’ That sounds like the man for the job.
