Sorry, world, for this one from Colorado. The beauty of this state really does belie the fact that it does produce its share of assholes.

3. Tancredo is an ASSHOLE and an IDIOT
This is the same freeptard whose big idea for preventing terrorism as a presidential candidate in the last election was a promise to bomb Mecca if their was another attack on US soil by Islamic terrorists.

Any organization that would feauture him most likely consists of assholes and idiots.:crazy: :mad:
