You obviously have not read all of his post.   I would vote for him, I am a big fan and maybe Lazy, but I don't think too many others here would.  How do you feel about Ron Paul?   There is a litmus test for you.

Are you sure you are not voting for Chalmers Johnson?   Miamizsun distanced himself with these words:  (this is a short answer/rant and the situation is/was far more complex that we/i can fathom)

 
My vote wasn't based on the content of the post. It was based on the spirit of the man, Miamizsun.

Agree.  It has been perverted and causes further division amongst us rather than unites us anymore, if it ever did in the first place.  This wound needs to be left alone for awhile so that it can heal instead of picking at the scab once a year.

Anymore, the first thing I think of regarding 9-11 is The Patriot Act, which is a horrible piece of knee jerk legislation.
