    Democrat Pete Stark makes fun of his constituents - VIDEO

    This is horrible. Mocking taxpayers who pay his salary and who just asked their elected Congressman a serious question.

    November can't get here fast enough.
    When given the choice between big business and big government, choose big business. Big business never threw millions of people into gas chambers, but big government did.

    No, they are not. They are operating 100% within the laws.

    They are American taxpayers. And for that they deserve respect.

    They don't deserve respect for being taxpayers. lol what a premise!

    In the p.o.v I subscribe to, minutemen are vigilantes taking the laws into their own hands without any training towards that end and are ergo loose cannons and more dangerous to Liberty than any Mexican escaping crushing poverty and crime.

    So, I'm ok with Stark putting the obviously small minded minuteman in his place. It's not that hard to do when someone is already consumed with irrational fear and anger, which the minutemen are by all appearances.

    they're an embarrassment I think, laughable at best. Like a pack of hysterical ninnies waiting for alarms to go off.

    If your point of view is the same at 50 as it was at 20, you haven't grown at all. If you subscribe to 200 year old points of view carte blanche, you haven't progressed at all. "minutemen" shyte man, may as well be the society for creative anachronism. lol

    This is exactly why we are in the pickle we are in.

    I'm actually stunned you said that, to be honest.

    why, i pay my taxes and I don't demand respect for it.

    I pay taxes, as it's been said because it affords me some civilization.

    It's not something I expect to be respected for either my nationality or the fact that I pay my taxes.

    You may not demand it, but I respect you for it. And you know we have our differences on politics too. I respect anyone who supports themselves and pays taxes.
