Puff your chest out fat boy

How very proud must Michael Moore be of his "Heroic Insurgent Minutemen".

mind blowing picture. Says so much about who we are. Very hard to understand folks like Michael Moore.

I posted that on another forum. Such a sad, but powerful picture.

Powerful picture, even The Washington Post had to put it on the front page yesterday.

Never violate a woman, nor harm a child. Do not lie, cheat or steal.
These things are for lesser men.
Protect the weak against the evil strong.
And never allow thoughts of gain to lead you into the pursuit of evil.
Never back away from an enemy. Either fight or surrender.
It is not enough to say I will not be evil. Evil must be fought wherever it is found.
