I went to a Tea Party today
It was disguised as a college graduation.
The message was not disguised to these graduates at all.
Take BACK your country.
I pause.
Take BACK your country.
Again I pause.
Paraphrasing "Some will lay down their lives for the cause".

I thought that was what elections were for and the American people in resounding numbers took BACK their country from the republicans.
This same speaker told my daughters friend that as a newly graduated nurse--she would have a bleak future ahead because of the healthcare bill.
Oh...the "esteemed" speaker?
That lying douchebag Louis Gohmert.:puke:

9. A college graduation speech that demands you become a stupid, civics-challenged asshat?
I'd want my money back.
