Take it from the Klown -- the liberals and the liberal press are working as hard as they possibly can to get you and/or your friends killed.
By the way -- here's the pic the jackass refuses to put in his newspaper.

All The newspapers are good for is the special dinner coupons. Nobody actually reads them anymore do they? (Maybe some of the Libs continue to read their dribble)
