A powerful Republican chairman in the House of Representatives just shared with his constituents his desire to begin selling our national parks. Rep. Cliff Stearns of Florida was caught on video in a local town meeting. Here is what he said:"I got attacked in a previous town meeting for not supporting another national park in this country, a 200-mile trailway. And I told the man that we don't need more national parks in this country, we need to actually sell off some of our national parks."

(3,596 posts)They believe EVERYTHING is about profit.
They would sell their grandmother to be raped, pillaged and plundered if they could get $.50.
They talk about American values and the flag and apple pie and the Bible but their actions are all about "me, me, me" and how much M$NEY I will have in the bank.
Their God is money and if one is a Christian this will likely land them in hell for eternity. I am not a vengeful person but I really can't help hoping these a-holes all spend the rest of time (eternity) in hell.
