[Vision2020] Small Towns? Re: conflict of interest

Tom,

Forgive me for my arrogance. But please explain to me, for I am very slow in 
the head, how it is that a joke about you bringing Republicans from 
California to North Idaho ties into attacking your Mother, Grandmother, 
Uncle, Father, Brother, 3 legged dog, and the price of tea in China?

Please do this slowly,  I am trying hard to see how your logic follows and 
how you make this miraculous connection from; don't bring Republicans to 
North Idaho, into, I hate your family? And also, how was I to know all this 
information that you now bring up?

Also, please don't make fun of people with a cranium in their posterior. 
There is in fact a rare disease called "Cranuialism enposteriur". About 1500 
people a year are born with this disease, it is genetic, predominate in the 
southern province of the  African country Ivory Coast. It is an illness that 
attacks and slowly kills, mostly children; their ass slowly consumes their 
head.

You make think this is funny, but until you learn to take the lives of these 
children seriously, I suggest you learn to stop posting. These children also 
are really nice decent people, and many served in WWII and came over here 
during the Revolutionary War to fight as well. Five of them have purple 
hearts. So think before you attack children with their being consumed by 
their ass. You are so insensitive, I swear, how can you say such things 
about little kids that fought for your freedom?

PS, see my previous post as to why nobody sends a joke to Tom.

PSS, I hope everyone will pray for Tom's mother, I know what that he is 
going through.

PSSS, When I attacked your dad, about 1 year ago, it was in response to you 
calling my Dad a Failure. You don't call people's Dad's failure and not get 
a reaction out them Mr. Hansen. I love my Dad, and he was not a failure, he 
out ranks you, has three children, and has a Masters Degree, and designed 
the Tomahawk Cruise Missile, how many lives in Uniform has he saved with 
that invention? Maybe yours?
