  • @kenkidder Fox News? ??? You obviously haven't spent too much time watching Fox News. Fox morons like Glenn Beck spend their every waking moment trying to pretend that the Civil Rights Communists were Conservatives.

  • @Sistarovat

    Thats not even offensive since the comment doesn't even make sense man!

    Its just a bunch of Fox News buzz words you heard and now you repeat to try to be at troll.

    You lose kid, you lose big time.

  • So, this is what the egalitarian Marxists jihadists looked like that forever robbed our nation of its Constitution.

  • We need something like this TODAY!

    We need to stand up and make a change in this fucked up world.

    Economy, religon, wars, starvation has seperated human kind.
