Sorry, Brittany, you don't realize we're dealing with criminally insane sociopaths who show us the truth of who they are every day.

It is the duty of a patriot to save his country from its politicians!

Nice speech, just a pity that the politicians there are all just there for the food and travel expenses and feel nothing about what they have done, nor will continue to do to destroy the future of the world....so frikkin SAD !

Yes and I heard that wearing garlic around your neck wards off people that believe the world burned 7678 million tonnes of coal in 2011 and people who say the worlds population increased three and a quarter fold in his mothers lifetime.

It's good you "only believe in facts", so I guess you'd have facts proving there's no God? Many have 'a belief' that following a dream or goal, might lead to their fulfilling it; they must be wrong, since it's not a 'fact' either, they can't prove it'll happen; it's just a POSSIBILITY.The belief that the intricate design of the body; world; planets; creatures; is too clever to come from nowhere, or by accident must be wrong too. (The gender of a God you don't believe in is meaningless...) NDE
