Bush and todays republicans, bwhahaha don't make me laugh these clowns have created the largest bureaucracy in history and are authoritarian one world socialists who sold out their party and their nation in exchange for political power.

What that in mind you just have to chose the party where you think those tax monies are better spent..
Shrug, if you believe the government can usurp economic freedom in the name of populism, don't be suprised when that same populism takes away your personal freedom as well in the name of problem solving.

I think lefties refer to the latter as the patriot act, with some disdain.

There is no point in responding to Zen. If we all ignore him he'll go away - it's worked before and it will work again. 5%, at best, of his posts are anything other than pure trolling. It's best just to ignore him.

He's like a car accident, you just can't look away.

It's just that ALL he does is make this board a worse place. I can excuse ideologues if they authentically have something to say, but Zen is rather transparently all about trolling, all the time. This place would be better off if nobody EVER dignified his comments with a response. God knows I've been guilty of rising to him all too often in each of his three identities, but I should have known better (though I was proud to be part of getting him banned for his racist comments when he was known as GeneralGrievous).

Out of curiosity, what were his other usernames?

Does anyone know if Riprorin ever made a come back on these boards?

I wish they would but Bush is'nt he only talks a big game... Our borders are wide open more potential fterrorists are immigrating to America from ME than ever before. And instead he's strip searching white 80 year old ladies at the airport.

But Clinton
