A must read for the sheeple out there who have forgot (or never learned) what the United States is about.

I’ve caused much trouble reminding liberal sheeple that USA is a REPUBLIC and not a DEMOCRACY.
A Republic has limited government guided by the Constitution.
A Democracy is 2 wolves and 1 sheep voting on WHAT’S FOR DINNER!

Unfortunatly, the idea of “right = popular” is so ingrained into the minds of most Americans that the chances of us ever returning to our roots are slim.

She's trying to save the planet while at the same thwarting free speech by symbolically showing her belief it's time to turn out the lights on our representative democracy with her stunt yesterday.
Obviously she believes the only way to save the planet is by inculcating the U.S. with socialism.

A representative Government overwhelms the masses. If we were truly democratic the majority would remain so.

But a republic needs sane representatives - Pelosi’s behavior is totally insane!
To: GregoryFul
Pelosi and Reid are lieing snakes. Got some time verify what I am about to post. I found this researching something for 1 of my ex-students in the USAF: Here’s the story. While the Chinese are busy building a off-shore Oil Rig and learning how off the cost of Mexico a little known secret has pooped out for my ancient formally nicotine stained lip from my pipe. The situation is a company called SHERITT INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION of Toronto Canada. They have been drilling and producing 60,000 barrels a day 1/2 mile off the beaches with slant drilling. That is the technique that Sadam used as justification for invadeing Kuwait ( Desert Storm )
The US Geological Survey estimates there are 4.6 Billion Barrels within a 1/2 mile of the beaches in Cuba and the Canadians have found it. So they are shipping it to South America and its being refined in Venezula and Brazil and sent back to Cuba while the Cubans are busy building a refinery on there Northwestern Coasts.
They estimate 14 months for the refinery to be completed. 2 years for exporting the gasoline to other locations...Who knew. Simple the MSM and there lackeys the democrats have lied to us. As have Senator Martinez and Sen Nelson. They have been drilling since Oct 2002 and it is producing and the Castro Brothers are laughing themselves silly. If the 2 senators did not know then they are totally incompetent fools.

Save the planet? Maybe she had better watch Bruce Willis in the ‘Fifth Element’ for pointers. She does not seem qualified for the role.

Not for a Californian it isn’t. Have family who lives in that area of California, and they sincerely believe that Pelosi is the CONSERVATIVE of the California Congressional Delegation. I KID YOU NOT. I had to laugh... that was after I got my Heart restarted.

High prices for gasoline?
It's Nancy's fault.
She, alone, would not allow a vote on DRILLING!
Freep her office!

The American people have far more to fear from Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, and John McCain than they do from any foreign adversary, because our leaders have proven that they have absolutely no fidelity to the principles of constitutional government. They have no compunction about eviscerating the protection of our freedoms, or about abolishing the vanguard of our liberties. They are Machiavellian, making King George of old look like a mere amateur. BUMP!

I loved this article. Finally it is being reminded to people that the U.S. is a Republic. Wish this were being taught in schools. This is an article worthy of emailing to everyone you know who has forgotten American history and it clearly outlines what most of us learned in "Civics" classes in grade school. Something they do not teach today. I have tried to bring this up so often and most people under the age of 60 look at me with question-marks in their eyes. They simply don't understand and think I am making it up. It has been jammed down our throats for so long that America is a Democracy. No one understands as our Forefathers did that the US is a Republic with a Democratic form of government. But whoe...when you try to explain it, the younger generation just tunes you out and goes back to their ipods, or sending text messages.

To: ripnbang
What the writer leaves out, it is the voters who vote this trash into office. It is the voters who want something for nothing. CA’s budget is a wreck, and the voters will continue to vote for trash. Then they will demand that the rest of the country bail them out. It’s the same in my state, and many others. Corrupt voters = corrupt politicians.

Don’t you just love the way the fools of the world are always distracting you to get what they want.
Come on guys, we are better card players than they are; if you know what I mean.

While she recesses the House of Rep to avoid debate; jumps on her private jet (provided by taxpayers) and flies back to SanFran ($48,000 per week) paid for by the taxpayers; and tells the citizens of the United States feeling the financial pinch to 'suck it up.' Yep. Let Them Eat Cake Nancy. Ain't she special.

My dear, you can't save the planet because the planet doesn't need saving, is supremely indifferent to your self important idiocy, and could not possibly care less.
And no, we don't need you to save the republic instead. The republic is not in danger either. Some minor policy matters could be better managed, certainly. That is all.
What the world and the country dearly need you to save, is your breath.

Yep. It certainly is NOT taught in a consistent and patriotic manner in the government indoctrination centers.
The main question is, is it too late? Have the sheeple been bought off enough with devalued dollars not to care?
