Oct 2013

she has covered the Tea Parties before, but finally went into why their radicalism makes them unpredictable. You know, like many of us have written here in the past. We no longer post those articles here, but it is what it is. Increasingly the Commentariat is sounding like some of us.

As a host and member of Mirt I do not feel I should put anyone on ignore. hrmjustin Oct 2013 #180

You're to be congratulated and proud of what you do legcramp Oct 2013 #99
