Oh, right. I forgot how this country is being taken over. Makes sense.
I'm sure all of the secret Muslims are on welfare too.

Well, you gotta admit, a lot of people like to eat.
The thing that's so funny to me about this epithet is that I know actual socialists, who live in a commune, who share all their belongings. By living in accordance with their view of biblical teachings.

It's a privilege, Tep. Please sir, may I have some more?
