84. I have several

Mon May 1, 2017, 01:43 AM

May 2017

I believe America is great.

I believe in the RKBA because I live in rural Kentucky and encounter coyotes and other dangerous animals at my home on a regular basis.

I believe that extremist liberal purity demands are every bit as dangerous to this country as extremist conservative purity demands and both are to blame for our current predicament.

I fully support GMOs and will promote their virtues to my ending days. I have family who are insulin dependent and would never be able to survive without the GMO revolution.

I support all forms of energy production that do not rely on carbon based fuels, including nuclear power.

I support science, even when the science disagrees with so-called liberal beliefs and values.

I supported Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

There are many more.
