Why is it, KKKahill, that you cannot figger out how to
preserve the attributions of previous posters?
I know you came from AOL, but it can't be _that_
difficult to figger out.

Because you are at least free to bitch and moan.

That's more absurdity from he who hypes "collectivist action."

Actually, a part of the First Freedom _is_ that religion
is free. If you don't have the freedom to talk about religion,
you don't have free speech. Your attempt to preclude
matters like religion and sex from public speech indicate
that it is you who wants to undermine freedome of speech.
The taboo subjects (because they are private matters.)

The corp media conspiracy has nothing to do with it.
The ACLU is the corp media conspiracy? Anyway,
the reason nazi flag burners parades are the focus
is that they are the targets of censorship. Nobody
bothers trying to censor Georgists. Hey, nobody even
bothers trying to get them the medication they
desperately need.

Thank allah they don't want to revise any clauses.

Well, somebody was conducting witch trials in Salem.
I guess it was those Massachusettes librul same-sex
marriage types.

Interestingly, among Huey Long's closest associates was
Father Coughlin, the pro-Nazi priest.

Heh, exposure to any text isn't going to help you, KKKahill.
You have to be able to unnerstand them for that to help.
As the joke goes, you can bring a horticulture but you can't
make her think.

Here we see just how bad the Orwellian newthink has hit you.
The revolutionaries back then, anyway, were the capitalist
private sector fighting for the right of land owners* to vote
on how much they would be taxed. Everybody knows that.
*Only landowners could vote in the original United Snakes.
How un-Georgian of them.

Yeah, and part of it was a gun in every household.
