I am going to guess that you wouldn’t help a fallen person from the streets because it isn’t your job. Also that you wouldn’t stand in the way of children whose intent was to unknowingly do something harmful to themselves because it isn’t your job.

May I ask a question? Are you an American citizen who lives in America?

You DO understand that I was refusing to accept pissant’s premise, correct? He told me to do his work for him. I threw his ridiculous post back at him. He had no response.

And, you actually have to ask if I’m a US citizen? Fine, I’ll indulge you. Yes, I am a US citizen. I was born in North Miami in 1984. Both my parents moved to Florida from West Virginia. I’ve lived in South Florida my entire life. Does this satisfy you?

“I believe banking institutions are stronger than standing armies... If the American people ever allow private banks to issue currency... The banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of their property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their father’s conquered.”

Thomas Jefferson
1743-1826

FR is stuffed to the gills with Party Firsters. Probably all those who jumped without looking to support Socialist Juan McCain.

Well, that explains why I get lots of hateful comments that unless I support McCain, I'm supporting Obambi, and I must be a DNC troll and a Socialist.

Wake up, Freeperdom. McCain is a Socialist too, and the degree of preference for Socialism and Big Government among the candidates is irrelevant, since only one or two major power grabs (including amnesty and carbon credits) are needed to permanently change these United States...and not necessarily for the better.

You suggested “an actual on-paper petition with individual hand-written signatures of verifiable voters” and he then said for you to get one started and go door to door to which you responded that you wanted payment.

Myself, I see going door to door in your own neighborhood as something that is our duty. Improving the community we live in is our duty.

Support your country all the time and your party or
government when it deserves it.

One would hope. But the Court doesn’t usually care much about the Constitution anymore. They only care about precedent, i.e. they don’t actually look at what the Constitution says they base their opinions off other decisions and standard procedure.

Welfare is unconstitutional but the Court would never overturn the entitlements system in a case.

I told him his online petition wouldn’t work. He snidely told me to do it for him. I’m not interested in taking that crap seriously. He thinks a petition will work, I told him what form to submit it in. His fault he wants to invest time in a failure.

The least conservatives can do is each and every one vote to STOP Obambi.

***...your party or government when it deserves it.***

In my lifetime, rarely have either deserved it.
