    If there were voter ID cards that would not have happened.

    Voter ID cards would have prevented the 4 thugs from murdering 17 civilians including women and children???

    And this causes people to kneel at the playing of the National Anthem? Hmmm.

    If you were Black, you'd kneel too.

    Not on the basis of what some Blackwater contractors supposedly did, and not of the basis of a woman being convicted of her SECOND felony and having to serve jail time. Besides that, you have no idea what I would do if I was black. Neither do I, for that matter.

    But we could certainly force twelve year boys to have vasectomies and cut off the right hands of thieves. That makes no sense in this context, but it made no sense the last three or four times you've made that suggestion, so I thought I'd just throw it in before you had the chance.

    REVERSIBLE vasectomies. It would be a minimun of pain and wouldn't change anything except that they couldn't get a female pregnant. Thus, NO ABORTIONS!

    Those considering a stealing escapade would hopefully think twice (since BOTH hands would be cut off).

    I can only assume you are either joking or have lost your ever-loving mind. OR that you actually are a communist, and I honestly can't say I rule that out. After all, the distance between liberal dem and commie is not that great.

    "Moslem is an alternative spelling of Muslim. The words have the same meanings in all contexts, and both spellings have been in use for several centuries."

    I would say the word "communist" was used as an adjective and was not part of an official title, so it did not need to be capitalized.

    It was the beginning of a sentence that I decided not to finish.

    Use apostrophes correctly and I'll watch what I capitalize.

    It seems everything can be made to be offensive when you seek to be perfect in speech or politically correct

    what do you make of musleman

    There were no apostrophes in my sentence and none were needed, so I don't know what you are referring to.

    It was an earlier comment I made about your apostrophizing a plural, but you walked right over my comment.
