Obama mints pulled from college store Up until recently, students at the University of Tennessee could get their breath ready for date night with a box of mints stamped with Obama’s visage. But the Obama mints were recently pulled because of a slogan printed on them. "This is change? Disappointmints" was stamped under Obama’s face on the small tin. The Knoxville News Sentinel reported that local legislator Joe Armstrong, a Knoxville Democrat, heard about the mints and spoke to the bookstore director who removed the product from the shelves. "If it was a book or something of that nature, fine, but that's sort of a discretionary product they have there. It wasn't viewpoint neutral. It was very specifically insulting to the president,” Armstrong told the Tennessee paper.

They probably tasted like shit.
As strange as this slant is going to sound coming from me . . . I think pulling the mints from the shelves was the right thing to do. As I used to hear in the Navy: "If you can't salute the person, at least salute the uniform." I feel the same way here.
LMAO!!!!!!
It used to be the leftists that had bumper-stickers that said things like "Question Authority.' Today they follow slogans from 1984: War is peace. They blindly LOVE Big Brother. They believe competition, pride & profiting from ones labor, are evil things to be banished. Stephen King observed, "The beauty of religion mania is that it has the power to explain everything... [so] logic can be happily tossed out the window. This describes socialists. They will ignore logic and "common sense." They will ignore REALITY. Because THEY are religious zealots... THEIR God... is the STATE.
As I used to hear in the Navy: "If you can't salute the person, at least salute the uniform." I feel the same way here. I was thinking about setting up an Obama water melon stand.
