#5 ..reminds me of a story out of Northern Ireland. An American walks in to order a beer. The barman asks are you Protestant or Catholic. The American replies he's agnostic. The barman asks are you Protestant agnostic or Catholic agnostic?

Are you a capitalist oligarch or a socialist oligarch?

And because a lot of dumb, evil people will vote for Free Shit at the expense of their neighbors.

Not that the country that elected Obama twice can throw stones.
