to imply that your willing and able to kill the president. During your time here in DU, why don't you do a little reading and try to learn some thing.

Less than an hour, it would appear.

Its tagline was "Freedom, No Matter The Cost."

I'm sorry, oh tombstoned one, but as the saying goes "Freedom isn't Free."

Sometimes the price you pay for your freedom of speech is that other people will choose to exercise their own freedom to not want to have you anywhere near them. Other times the cost is will be that when you enter a private club, like this one, and spew non-sense, the owners of that club will ask you to leave.

"Freedom, No Matter The Cost" is a silly and useless notion, sort of like "the customer is always right." That one was coined by a British department store as an advertising jingle. "Freedom, No Matter The Cost" is similar in that it is essentially meaningless and often just plain wrong.

Maybe people should be a bit more sensitive to his feelings before they say or do things that hurt.
Hahahahahaha

40 years ago, he crapped his pants for a month in order to not have to spend time at a military base. Now, he's upset because he isn't allowed on a military base.
