No I don't think so. He's always blabbing off his mouth with slurs and hatred. He's constantly here. I think we should encourage him. In a way he's mildly amusing. Sort of like watching a bad movie. His ineptitude is kind of funny. Of course he is probably violent and dangerous. I'm not worried though I doubt he'd feel comfortable in my neighborhood. I live in a fortress.

I have never seen CY violate the spirit embodied below. To me that shows the complete stupidity of your comparison. HONESTY IN GOVERNMENT Teddy Roosevelt said this on May 12, 1900 .. .while he was still governor of New York. Too bad we don't have more people who feel this way today. "We can afford to differ on the currency, the tariff, and foreign policy; but we cannot afford to differ on the question of honesty if we expect our republic permanently to endure ... "Honesty is not so much a credit as an absolute prerequisite to efficient service to the public. Unless a man is honest, we have no right to keep him in public life; it matters not how brilliant his capacity "The weakling and the coward cannot be saved by honesty alone; but without honesty, the brave and able man is merely a civic wild beast who should be hunted down by every lover of righteousness. "No man who is corrupt, no man who condones corruption in others, can possibly do his duty by the community... "'Liar' is just as ugly a word as 'thief,' because it implies the presence of just as ugly a sin in one case as in the other. If a man lies under oath or procures the lie of another under oath, if he perjures himself or suborns perjury, he is guilty under the statute law. "Under the higher law, under the great law of morality and righteousness, he is precisely as guilty if, instead of lying in a court, he lies in a newspaper or on the stump; and in all probability, the evil effects of his conduct are infinitely more widespread and more pernicious."
