Can you provide just one? Just one, um Toby.
BTW, a super-patriot is anther name for a
neofascist.
Now that Doug's back is against the wall he has given
up the love card for the hate card. He hates Jbore and
so he will focus on him, calling him a Bush supporter
and fascist, war monger...etc....
If Doug had a profound respect for his fellow
P-listers why did he bait and spam us with dead baby
propaganda while our babies were still buried under
the rubble of the WTC?
