Are they going to hunt us down through our IP addresses or what?

What a waste of time and effort.

Oh come on... You act like every expansion of government is due to liberals. Until the 2010 house-cleaning, there were probably more big government conservatives in office than small government/fiscal/libertarian conservatives.

That's not trolling; that's cyber bullying and stalking. And those offenses should be met with the law.

To much easily abused leeway in the language, if the quote is accurate.

I'm quite sure I have offended and annoyed a few people here, but that's largely a matter of perception, I'd say.

I'm sure Zelstein, Frosted, or The Todd would press the issue, but I assure you, if someone attempts to take me into custody based on my internet postings, a first amendment issue might quickly become a second amendment issue.
