    @WT

    Well, I told you months ago that Pat Lang thought her FoPo manifesto was the best he'd seen and he is the epitome of pragmatic non-interventionism. Obama is a neocon and clearly more of a Republican than Bloomberg.

    Nutbar!!!!

    Recently, Margulis has leant her support to 9/11 conspiracy theories, calling the September 11, 2001 attacks a "false-flag" operation of the United States government itself.

    In addition to his anti-crime work, Bloomberg is an avid supporter of gun control stating, "I don't know why people carry guns. Guns kill people." As mayor he increased the mandatory minimum sentence for illegal possession of a loaded handgun. In regard to the change, Bloomberg commented, "Illegal guns don't belong on our streets and we're sending that message loud and clear, we're determined to see that gun dealers who break the law are held accountable, and that criminals who carry illegal loaded guns serve serious time behind bars." [25] Bloomberg formed Mayors Against Illegal Guns in May 2007, an organization made up of 210 mayors who are supportive of gun control.

    Bwahahahaha! One NRA attack ad and he's toast!
