40. Mine was worse

Aug 2013

I did a alert on some one who had a cartoon with the saying. Shut the F Up Jesus. I said anyone would be offended by this 6 people in the jury said no I sound like I had a stroke and the usual Free Speech . I am thinking of leaving Underground. It is sad because I am a Florida Democrat and work hard for my party. I listen and respect others opinions but they do not respect ours. Just try saying you are a Pro Life Democrat and see what happends. I am glad I found this thread today.
