down my throat since birth. From Santa Claus to get under your desk the commies are coming to Gods going to burn you in hell to the Muslims are going to behead me right here in Montana. Nothing on the AM radio but right wing fear mongering. If this is the land of the free, why is it a lifetime of living in fear in America.
