These people are the scum of the earth and nothing but future communists. They are lazy, degrading, embarrassing, hate-filled, liberals demanding to have other people supply their needs.
I could come up with many, many more adjectives to describe these low-lifes, but I actually have work to do, a house to clean, and kids to feed. All while my hard working husband is out making money that we will NOT be handing over to these leeches.
It's amazing what the liberal agenda creates in small minded people.
I just dare them to come to Texas!
Debbie,
After I commented on your post here, I happened to hear on Sean Hannity today, that these protesters are now threatening to blow up NY City tomorrow.
And they call Christians wacko?
THIS is the Hope and Change Obama promised. Guess where he was today? Playing golf.
