   Projecting are we? That is the socialist way.   
      
   That would suggest I wanted to punish you. I don't. I just want you to stop   
   mucking up my country with your loony ideas. How you stop is irrelevant.   
   Hell, I'd even settle for having you live here as long as you stop with the   
   Marxist blather. If that doesn't work for you... well there are other   
   options.   
      
      
   But do remember the 1st option was to live peacefully.   
      
      
   --   
   When the government is no longer constrained by the laws of the land, then   
   neither are the people.
