gun control

1.) The reason liberal democrats should never be elected to Congress or the U.S. Presidency.

2.) The reason Chicago is the murder capital of the nation.

3.) The reason why innocent people are easily murdered.

4.) The reason why the NRA has millions of members.

Gun control is a violation of the 2nd Amendment and freedom as a whole. Putting into place gun control only makes law-abiding citizens defenseless against criminals who will still find a way to harm and kill. Crime usually goes up in places where gun control exists, such as Chicago and the United Kingdom. It also causes people to be less happy and less physically active, as millions of people engage in recreational sports involving firearms. Liberal democrats can never be allowed to govern this nation as their policies usually call for gun control, which inhibits human freedom and ignores the laws of the U.S. Constitution. Remember that one of the first things Hitler took away from people was their guns.

Dennis Hastert

The third most powerful man in America; the longest-serving Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives in the history of the United States; a former high school teacher and coach; a genuine human being known for his straight-talk and Midwestern values; works hard during the week in Washington and comes home during the weekend like most Americans, unlike run-of-the-mill politicians who aren't in touch with their constituents or reality since they spend all their time in Washington, DC.

Dennis Hastert: the coach is my speaker.

Joe Perry

The lead guitarist for Aerosmith. Known for playing guitar solos behind his back, usage of the slide guitar, and beating his guitar with his shirt. He is cooler than thou, has long black hair, and plays guitar very freestyle, yet is a highly skilled and respected musician. He provides backup vocals to Aerosmith and even sings lead vocals sometimes. In the 1970s, he and Steven Tyler were known as the Toxic Twins for their legendary drug abuse. Today, he is sober and spends his time making music and enjoying life with his family.

Damn, I wish I could be like Joe Perry. Making millions of dollars playing guitar and attracting all the ladies.

exurb

A sparsely populated area, that is currently making the transition from rural to suburban, located usually on the fringes of a metropolitan area. Often times, it may be populated by wealthy estates, hobby farms, as well as existing rural towns, and usually with larger, more-mainstream suburban development on the brink of happening.

That exurb is growing so fast that the town can barely keep up the services to allow it to function.
