It isn't " MY " historical timeline at all, but another poster's and it was I, who said that that date was completely and utterly out of whack! I also stated that FDR was but one of MANY previous presidents( though possibly the worst of all ), who had mangled the Constitution and all else. Yes, I know about Lincoln too, dear, as well as many others, who HAVE folded, twisted, mangled, and spit upon the Constitution. I just get weary, oh soooooooooooooooooooooooo weary, of being one of FR's corrector/teacher of historical facts, which most people neither know, usually misrepresent, and/or don't really even care about; not to mention feeling NO shame at all, over posting erronious garbage about.
It isn't " just " which governemnt is more strick about keeping true to their Constitution; no, rather it also is about just WHAT is actually therein. Then, there is also the fact that most other places, depending upon one's wants, needs, and proclivities, aren't nearly as hospitable, to most Americans, as is the USA.
Would I ever leave ? Maybe. Is there someplace else, where I could find what, at the minimum, I KNOW that I need ? Doubtful. You haven't mentioned a place, where I and mine would go...for various and sundry good reasons.
Oh, and by-the-by...you harped on the fact that South America is turning into/has turned into a Marxist slum, implying that OUR governemnt should have been doing something, long ago, about that. That is NOT exactly all that CONSTITUTIONAL. LOL
Is it only when YOUR wants/positions aren't being met 100%, that you think that the governemnt has the absolute RIGHT to interfer? And yes, I know all about the Monroe Doctorine and all that THAT implies. :-)
Charge me a rate of taxes (by preference not too extreme) to maintain roads and sewers and assorted infrastructure, promote trade (mutually beneficial to all), let me go about my trade unmolested insofar as I cheat or deceive no one, establish an objective code of law that WILL (not might) punish those who do defraud or violate other citizens, defend the nation (for which I shall gladly pay my share or even somewhat more) against foreign invasion...and I'm all yours.
I think I must have sent one response to message A to party B, and vice versa. My apologies if so.
