Hi! ...yeah, and then I got covered up for almost two days... haven't been able to get back to this thread since Friday!
But I'm still around to remind everyone:

IT'S AN OLIGARCHY, FER SHURE
How would one define an 'oligarchy'? It is rule by a priviledged class... one class that is above the law, one class that is persecuted by the law... one class that can not be touched by the law, one class that can not escape prosecution by the law.
Why do I write: IT'S AN OLIGARCHY, STUPID!?
Because, for example, the Clinton's were both proved to have broken the law, yet neither were prosecuted and tried. Darling Billy was fined by a federal judge for perjury and obstruction of justice... but the prosecutor chose not to pursue the matter by trial. His lovely wife Medusa was found by prosecutor David Ray to have violated the law, and he said, ''The overwhelming evidence establishes that she played a role in the decision to fire the [travel office] employees and provided input into that decision. Thus, her statement to the contrary under oath was factually false.'' Yet the prosecutor chose not to pursue the matter.
Subsequent Chairman of the DNC, Terry Mcauliffe, was reportedly found to have laundered Teamster Union funds through Democrap channels... but nothing ever came of it.
For that matter, the Clintooon Administration sold U.S. nuclear secrets to China for campaign contributions - which would have been treason at some earlier time - but that passed by without even a whimper.
======================================================
Now we find prosecutor Fitzgerald prosecuting the Vice President's office for an offense with no apparent underlying crime.
IT'S AN OLIGARCHY, STUPID!
Do you think this is not enough evidence? How about the trashing of the White House offices by the outgoing Clintonistas? No one prosecuted... the taxpayers footed the bill. How about Sandy Berger pilfering classified documents - documents that may still be pertinent to ongoing investigations? Slap on the wrist.
Of course I could go on.
======================================================
Shall I mention the prosecution of Tom Delay? ...the threat of prosecution of Senate leader Frist?
Everyone who doesn't think the end of this current indictment is aimed at the Vice President's seat and the President's seat, please raise your hands.
The Democraps realized over 50 years ago that their agenda could not be advanced by legislatures so they plotted to use the federal courts to impose their perverted values on the nation.
Now even that unassailable seat of power is at risk for them. Now is the hour for them to use their priviledged class-position to cement their power over this country.
Yeah, that's right: I am saying this is an ongoing coup d'état, and we are witnessing the next step: [if one cannot win at the ballot box], simply put your political opponents in jail on any charge you can trump up.
Make no mistake about Fitzgerald's prosecutive case: it is trumped up - which the case against Hillary would NOT have been... which the case against Bill Clinton would NOT have been.
======================================================
IS THERE ANY REASON TO VOTE ANY LONGER? Does our vote make any difference in the political course of events in this country any longer?
Well, hope springs eternal... but certainly these are perilous times for those who actually believe in the Constitution, in liberty, in free enterprise, in capitalism.
You are quite correct; the judicial branch has all but usurped the legislative process in this country. Regards.
Glad to see Bob Ireland is still around driving the snakes out from our midst.
Howdy, friend.....keep your powder dry.

As I said, sloppy writing bespeaks of sloppy thinking. What makes you think a sloppily-worded message is worth reading?
" ...but they joined the oligarchy?"
I think they've been a part of it for years. Excuse me, I've got to go get this wool pulled out of my eyes.
"Yeah, that's right: I am saying this is an ongoing coup d'état, and we are witnessing the next step: [if one cannot win at the ballot box], simply put your political opponents in jail on any charge you can trump up."
And when THAT does not work...
Well, it's interesting to note that the last time a President got on the wrong side of the CIA was in 1961, after the Bay of Pigs. Less than three years later, that President was dead.
I feel the same way. And I was a registered Democrat until 1998.
Ok, but not an oligarchy of democrats.
Republicans make up the majority.
However, there is an endless sea of unelected beauracrats who must be tamed. The 546 elected officials do not control the beauracracy.
Bump! for the Newbie! (Long time no see Bob)
Dog and Pony show?
The Republicans are that team that always plays against the Globe Trotters.
Never any doubt about the outcome.
"Yeah, that's right: I am saying this is an ongoing coup d'état, and we are witnessing the next step: [if one cannot win at the ballot box], simply put your political opponents in jail on any charge you can trump up."
Wow, you took the words right out of my head. The Rat party is America's biggest problem.
It's the old tic is bigger than the cow trick.
...I've read that state and local regulatory laws and schemes are proliferating at a much faster rate....
Sounds like Rhode Island.

That makes me feel like St. Patrick... Yikes!
Howdy!
Hi... yeah... lots of lurking the past few years... mostly due to my Tolkien Dictionary:
http://www.quicksilver899.com/Tolkien/Tolkien_Dictionary.html
Power in the Senate has to be returned to the states and the people are now way to numerous to be represented by 435 people in any effective way.
I personally believe that until we repeal the 17th Amendment, almost any course of action we as a people do will be ineffective.
Just think how the SCOTUS nominee process would be different if there were no 17th ????
I certainly think we need to enlarge the house by at least 1/3 if not more
Not in my domain, it isn't, my friend.
But I wouldn't doubt that there could be another one. Take care, Bob..............FRegards
Whack for the hell-of-it!!.............FRegards
