Dictator, Tyrant, Sir?
You have so much fun poking at me, misquoting me and taking things I say out of context in an attempt to make a mockery of me. I'd just hate to spoil that deluded bubble for you, if thats what keeps you happy on here: targeting me. I was thinking, how appropriate it would be time to point out to you that you should stop and start disassembling your own Presidents facts and stupor before you make idiotic attemts to make an example of what you percieve to be mine. It seems to me that its almost a conservative pastime to poke and make fun of liberals, without actually acknowledging the fact that your own president says some of the most stupid things of all.
Just thought I'd get you started...
note that these are actually stupid, not extracted and made to look that way.
