1. Rep Dan Young, R-AK should be hanged

Immediately! Hanged for being stupid. Hanged for quoting Lincoln! Hanged from being from Alaska!
Hanged for demonizing congressmen who criticize an unpopular war! Hanged for hanging around the House floor.

2. Well now we know what is wrong with our schools too

they don't taech US History, but FICTION

;-)

Perhaps the Congressman should take his seat besides the US Secretary of State in Remedial US History Class

3. so the distinguished congressman with the bad wardrobe wants to hang 250 million

(roughly) people? :shrug:

4. I'd like to have seen someone jump up and....

... tell him to shut his stupid f*cking mouth and then propose that we hang overweight fascists who rape the environment and plunder our federal treasury for their own pet projects.

But seriously, I would like to see more Democratic leaders call people like him out on what they say!

How does that saying go? Something like "evil prevails only when good men do nothing".
