Well, he DID say during a debate appearance that he was giving away his money. He just didn't specify how.
You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless.

I certainly hope so. May they be swept up by the "red wave" in the next election cycle.
God bless America. |
