What we need is for people like yourself to start pointing out (as you’ve done) the items that we need to key in on so we can point it out to people. I would love all input about this bill so I can start making my notes.
yup
BTTT
I think the pinko’s are getting the message and they are afraid. Just look at the goons he has for security. IN Viginia we all but had the esteemed congressman Rickey Boucher to the point of peeing his pants. People are pissed and It makes me think the real change is starting.
I have to sit down and write a letter to our local newspaper highlighting components of the bill.
I agree with you. I think the original surpose of the senate came to a crashing end when state’s stopped appointing senators and they started being elected by the sheeples. At that point, they became no different than glorified house representatives.
CANTERBURY
Then hear me, gracious sovereign, and you peers,
That owe yourselves, your lives and services
To this imperial throne. There is no bar
To make against your highness’ claim to France
But this, which they produce from Pharamond,
‘In terram Salicam mulieres ne succedant:’
‘No woman shall succeed in Salique land:’
Which Salique land the French unjustly gloze
To be the realm of France, and Pharamond
The founder of this law and female bar.
Yet their own authors faithfully affirm
That the land Salique is in Germany,
Between the floods of Sala and of Elbe;
Where Charles the Great, having subdued the Saxons,
There left behind and settled certain French;
Who, holding in disdain the German women
For some dishonest manners of their life,
Establish’d then this law; to wit, no female
Should be inheritrix in Salique land:
Which Salique, as I said, ‘twixt Elbe and Sala,
Is at this day in Germany call’d Meisen.
Then doth it well appear that Salique law
Was not devised for the realm of France:
Nor did the French possess the Salique land
Until four hundred one and twenty years
After defunction of King Pharamond,
Idly supposed the founder of this law;
Who died within the year of our redemption
Four hundred twenty-six; and Charles the Great
Subdued the Saxons, and did seat the French
Beyond the river Sala, in the year
Eight hundred five. Besides, their writers say,
King Pepin, which deposed Childeric,
Did, as heir general, being descended
Of Blithild, which was daughter to King Clothair,
Make claim and title to the crown of France.
Hugh Capet also, who usurped the crown
Of Charles the duke of Lorraine, sole heir male
Of the true line and stock of Charles the Great,
To find his title with some shows of truth,
‘Through, in pure truth, it was corrupt and naught,
Convey’d himself as heir to the Lady Lingare,
Daughter to Charlemain, who was the son
To Lewis the emperor, and Lewis the son
Of Charles the Great. Also King Lewis the Tenth,
Who was sole heir to the usurper Capet,
Could not keep quiet in his conscience,
Wearing the crown of France, till satisfied
That fair Queen Isabel, his grandmother,
Was lineal of the Lady Ermengare,
Daughter to Charles the foresaid duke of Lorraine:
By the which marriage the line of Charles the Great
Was re-united to the crown of France.
So that, as clear as is the summer’s sun.
King Pepin’s title and Hugh Capet’s claim,
King Lewis his satisfaction, all appear
To hold in right and title of the female:
So do the kings of France unto this day;
Howbeit they would hold up this Salique law
To bar your highness claiming from the female,
And rather choose to hide them in a net
Than amply to imbar their crooked titles
Usurp’d from you and your progenitors.
If we can get 0 out of office, and remove the riffraff in Congress, perhaps we can get the 17th Amendment repealed. As another poster on this thread said, the Senate is now no more than a glorified (in their own minds) House of Representatives.

We lost internet for a while, so this is a bit late. I don’t know if you saw this thread and The Bat Lady’s reply @#48.

>snort< well said
Excellent, bump! I notice that my Congress critter won’t be hosting one...but he is going around making scripted appearances at retirement centers and other places where supposedly the members are a friendly and polite bunch.
