Kill a Liberal." Now <I>that</I> is intolerance.<BR/><BR/>It's taken years for me to get here. That I let off some steam by mocking Republicans, well, it's a rather benign payback for what they've done to a country I deeply love.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for letting me get that off my chest.David Terrenoirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09482864941636273068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19897529.post-85937625700163841442008-10-04T13:31:00.000-04:002008-10-04T13:31:00.000-04:00I have finally identified the social fingernails o...I have finally identified the social fingernails on the blackboard that keeps me unnerved. Its the intolerance of either, or, and both, liberals and conservatives and the extreme stances they will take up, even to the point of standing barefooted in a briar patch, to just throw one more barb at their opposition. Incredible! <BR/><BR/>DreadBeneath the Carolina Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11378676354922370500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19897529.post-65800943916298592222008-10-04T10:07:00.000-04:002008-10-04T10:07:00.000-04:00Apalooser - second in line to be horses ass in chi...Apalooser - second in line to be horses ass in chief<BR/>EdAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19897529.post-42505880017240919322008-10-03T16:45:00.000-04:002008-10-03T16:45:00.000-04:00Palatable-Not.Pallisades Park.
