Protester removed from Fred Thompson event HOUSTON, Texas (CNN) – A woman screaming “you’re not a real conservative, sir” was removed by police from a welcoming reception for likely GOP presidential candidate Fred Thompson Wednesday morning. A second protester was also taken from the room. Houston police officers escorted the woman — as well as a man — from the hangar at Hobby Airport, where Thompson was shaking hands with a crowd of supporters. They were not arrested. The woman questioned Thompson as he talked to reporters. She asked him why he was a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, and noted that the organization supported the North American Union with Canada and Mexico. After the woman interrupted Thompson by questioning his conservative credentials, the likely candidate said, “Don’t fuss at me. You asked me a question. Let me answer it.” He told the woman, “I try to learn as much as I can from all viewpoints.” Later, she shouted at Thompson as the news conference ended. Police officers took her outside a fenced area near the hangar, and stood with her until the former Tennessee senator departed. – CNN Political Desk Manager Steve Brusk

So much for the citizens. I confess I am over the top at this point, and I don't know who wouldn't be. If you're not pissed you're not informed.
It is then, therefore, that I am perpetually pissed off.
If one could translate this statement in to grammatically perfect Latin, they would be a master of the preterite, conditional, infinitive,gerund, and userufruct (the last one is a joke, a legal term) use of Latin.
Is est tunc , proinde , ut EGO sum jugiter pissed off. or Is est tunc , proinde , ut EGO sum jugiter vehemens.
Critter - Count me as impressed. Totally. How did you learn this???

A genius need not know all the answers, he only needs to know where to find them. :) http://www.translation-guide.com/free_online_translators.php?from=English&to=Latin
I love latin! my dad had degrees in greek and latin, and I grew up using and hearing a lot of phrses in both. we always said a latin grace before dinner. one of my favorites was nulli adsunt Romanorum qui locutionem tuam corrigant - loosely translated - there are no romans around to correct your pronunciation. for that reason alone I took four years of latin in high school :)
