We NEED nuclear war to burn up all the molestor cuomolectuals and their jack-booted bureaucrats and restore our constituional agrarian republic and the Anarchic Tradition of the American Revolution. If Putin nukes away all our urban slimeballs, we should return the favor and wipe out his homosexual monasteries and habibi-hugging generals. Brandmerk the forehead of anyone having an abortion. Access in and out of subway stations should only be by firepole. Islamosympathic gutterswabbing clothing and pierced privates spread disease. If you weren’t such baby killing, vermin snuggling perverts you wouldn’t be driving up our health costs, then collecting disability for your commie nutty organizing dementia. Your passive aggressive labor unions grab our guns, cars (congestion pricing), balls (SONDA), wallets, and homes but we will grab your throats and dang you from trailer bone tolls. Global warming is a grant grubbing extortion racket. If securities rules applied to research grants, half the professulas would be in jail! Professulas, trial lawyers and union organizers are Obama's core constituencies. We need to apply the same rules from banking and finance to university research grants, trial lawyers, and union funds. Defeated plaintiff attorneys should be subject to victorious defendent's malpractice suits. Professors molest more youth than clergy do. Privatize the university-grants complex (NSF, NIH, NOAA, NASA, NIST, NEH, NEA) so corporations may own university patents. Deport foreign born Obama voters for sedition. Lynch soviet wealth fund abetting aghadhimmic peakies when oil plummets! Parasites complain about salaries but pig out with benefits. Aqua volte! This land wasn't build by bullocraps. Bring on the glorious nuclear rapture with red heifers.
