Bernie and company want to       confiscate the guns like Virginia Socialists tried to do... but we see       the reach for gun confiscation and a Socialist take-over of the Nation       is NOT ready to happen yet the Bernie FACTION is trying the take-over       too soon and other FACTION are the duplicitous marxist type Socialists       like Pelosi and Schumer and Maxine Waters.                     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrA9zj94NuU              This Liberal is all about government taking over....              -Maxine Waters-                     What she didn't say was that this Liberal is really a Socialist hiding       in a Liberal-Democrat POLITICAL PARTY and taking it over.              --       That's Karma              *Liberalism is unsustainable, self destructive and contradicting*              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
