30. I know. Outrageous, isn't it?

If Dick Cheney was the president and was saying that he was going to do this, virtually all of us would be upset by this.

If vote rigging had worked and Romney had been elected, almost all of us would be upset by this as well.

But if a President (whose former Chief of Staff called liberals "fucking retarded&quot has a big "D" after his name, there will be some who will engage in name calling and make excuses.

If you oppose this, get ready to be called a "purist."
