>
> I don't care about appearing compassionate.

> I think I'm doing better than the homeless.
>
> I don't think being a minority makes you noble or victimized.

> I have the right not to be tolerant of others because they are different,

> I believe that if you are selling me a Dairy Queen shake, a pack of

you

forefathers

it.

your

>
> Our soldiers did not go to some foreign country and risk their lives in
vain

> I don't believe in hate crime legislation. Even suggesting it makes me
mad.
> You're telling me that someone who is a minority, gay, disabled, another
