Posting your politics on imgur is like taking a dump in the kids park; no body but you wants it here and your insistence on doing so b/c [insert reason(s) here] is childish. Make sure you read the fine print. Fake internet points are fake. Srsly. They are fake. Also, I do not have a mailing list. Sorry. If you like what you read, try checking in here from time to time. Remember that it is not always my personal opinion/stance. Sometimes I play the devils advocate because holding a correct belief for the wrong reason(s) is, in the long run, little better than holding an incorrect belief for no reason at all. What is ominous is the ease with which some people go from saying that they dont like something to saying that the government should forbid it. When you go down that road, dont expect freedom to survive very long. - Thomas Sowell
'know your history' but cites two events three years apart as cause and effect despite BTP a response to the Tea Act and governor's orders.

Not sure about all states but in some, misconduct/criminal acts are grounds for revocation of LE license/cert/whatever.
wow... insane how high up he is. But that username tho.
