If you did you'd not be elligible for the program in its current form
nor in the proposed version.  You would instead, under the GWB
formula, be entitled to all kinds of other government assistance and
tax breaks.

You claim that but show me proof.  Hint: "Rush said it" is not proof.

Nope.  They attacked a sick child.  This was typical of these losers.
Nice to see whom you support.

Now they are being grabbed and raped by Americans.  Such an
improvement.

I wondered if there was anyone left in the world who still believed
that Bush-shit.  Thanks for clarifying.

Figured that out all by yourself, did you?

Raising oil prices and feeding Bush's ego.  Indeed.

Have you?

I understand the "mind set".  There are whole libraries of books on
egomania.

Do you understand the difference between small arms, grenade
launchers, etc., and weapons of mass destruction?

Uh-huh.  I guess we've got to attack them next.  See Dubya run.  Run,
Dubya, run.

So now Syria is shipping WMDs here?

You really think Bush is a good guy?  He's killed far more Americans
than Saddam.

Oh, really?  Clinton had him surrounded in the mountains of
Afghanistan and then decided to pull his troops to go attack Saddam?

Bullshit!  They're mercenaries.

You prefer to slaughter them after delivery?

All kidding aside, I have nothing against private gun ownership.  I
only want folks who own guns to keep them secured when not in their
direct possession or that of a trained, competent user.  Beyond that,
if you want to store a munitions dump in your barn I could care less.
That's your right.
