was the catalyst for that. Now we've had the Presidency for 8 years almost. And the TOS hasn't changed, has it? It was thought in 2000 that the Democrats were underground. We turned that around. So this complaint seems silly. It's never been site for anarchists or whoever wants to actually overthrow the government.
