Sitting on my front porch in SW effing hillbilly PA... [View all]

Fireworks going off everywhere. Stupid bastards... it is Memorial Day, not the Fourth of July.
I will never forget the day the military knocked our door to tell us that my 21 year old brother was dead. I was 15 at the time...my life was changed forever. Thank you, Vietnam.
Mr. Bonespurs said his Vietnam war not getting an STD and they still voted for him.
I hope that MF45 and all of his supporters rot in hell.
