OK you got me on that one. Moonshine?? Or is that the green energy where you recieve alot of greenback's from obama to test & they grew it on Anderson Bro's donated property
Heck with the green Rolf
What ya think about the Harvin trade?? What do MN & the State of Washington have in commom besides football players?? A VERY big lib St. I say good. Now just get somebody that can catch a ball if it hit's them in the hand's. Maybe rino & scary should try out ehh?? Cant have teeth guards during practice girls.
Now this is community service.
After Obama finishes driving this economy into the ground, we'll all be eating off the land.
OFB, hope you haven't forgotten how to grow turnips.
It's time for
turnips, corned beef, potatoes and cabbage!
Obama can have punkins.
Oops,
that's prolly the next band he hires to play at the money strapped White House!
Gee Trip
I think I would rather eat wolf over turnips or beets. Even though I grew up in the sugar beet capital of the world of the early 1900's I am a N Mn boy at heart!!
Funny thing is all those Illegal's used to go back S when I was there & now they have Spanish speaking welfare worker's & they stay Yr around.
We've been living with the
Spanish speaking people a long time and many of them are hard working people that put a lot of the 47% to shame with their work ethic. The illegals that worry me most are Obama's pals that face Mecca to pray and murder innocent people.
How many hundred millions of dollars and tanks did our dictator just send the Muslim Brotherhood?
How to find funding?
Is that where they teach you how to skirt around your taxes or find those horrible corporate loopholes that liberals always scream about?!
You mean like
Dayton's money being in South Dakota?
No...
Say it isn't so!
No True Liberal would
ever shirk their tax responsibilities. Guvner Dayton is a true carpetbagging lowlife of the first sort. Just like the CWC Lefters!
Sort of like
Docking a sailboat in a different state. Yet Bush was a terrible president! When Bush was president and gas hit high prices he was accused of being in bed with the oil companies! Where's the outcry against Obama?
All good stuff...OFB do you think there
will be handouts at the door on "How to take a trip without leaving the farm?"
Just think what an impact that would be to the environment. Fish and a few of his buddies could travel the world, doing their part in reducing CO and fossil fuel consumption without leaving one single footprint behind and have such a good time, that it went by so fast, that it didn't feel like they left home at all.
"Where's the outcry against
"Where's the outcry against Obama?"
You're living under a rock if you don't think there has been an outcry against our President.
Pretty sure he is receiving plenty of kickback not only about oil companies but drones, the economy, and golfing while he's on vacation.
It must be nice for all of the uninformed to hang out and make it up as they go along.
Raise your fuel
Forget the hand outs at the door OFB...I guess they have this covered with Raise Your Fuel.
