stating it so well.

Says everything about their tactics which is all they have. I was just on a jury over a post calling Obama Supporters "bootlickers". It was allowed to stand because it was 3 to 3. So, the BOG is the one place where ignorant crap is not tolerated or anything really that doesn't meet with the Mission Statement.

And, those who want to come here and not play by the rules Will be Blocked and that will be the last time.

If they had a Snowden Group.. I couldn't care less about intruding.
