I know it's an election year and politicians are more...hesitant in doing things, but I'm seriously hoping our response is more than wagging a finger at them saying 'You better stop that!'
This is ridiculous.

So he too qualifies as an ass clown, but that doesn't affect the ass clown status of the guy who made the video.Quote:

Our response needs to be one that will send a serious message. If it were me, I wouldn't rule out military action.
I agree in principal, but what sort of response? It's a hell of fix.Quote:
