Socialists always tend to be greedy hypocrits. How about "The US does not end at its borders." RIGHT! What, you don't like that Flippy?

How about "Where there is a United States citizen, there is the US"?

What's the matter, Felipe? Choking on your own bile?

Why do we seem to live in an age that gives us a never ending supply of crap politicians?????????????????????????????????
