Stimulus money at work?

[Jim Robinson]

Shovel ready.

[fightinbluhen51]

Seriously!

BTW, thanks for all the great work Jim, I finally got of the snide and offered up some funding this time. It was too great of a contribution NOT to make!

[Jim Robinson]

Thank you very much, fightinbluhen51!!

couldn't commercial storage of written material be said to be against a website's usage policy, and not included in fair use?

they are using the written material for a purely commercial venture.

I guess that makes the "insider traitors."

I don’t even feel like I live in America anymore. I really don’t. I detest these people for making me feel this way about my homeland.

Open your eyes, government employees - and GO GALT!

>>I don’t even feel like I live in America anymore.
>>I really don’t

Well, FWIW, I take encouragement from the fact that I moved freely about Washington D.C. during the week of 9/12 and nobody forced me into a white van.

No reports of such from other attendees of the FR National Convention that I’m aware of.

But I do hear what you’re saying; and it’s a use-it-or lose it moment in the 1st amendment’s history.

“GEORGE BUSH IS SPYING ON AMERICANS!!!!!”

[manc]

your not the only one who feels like that.

There is no excuse now for anyone to not say they have any idea that we’re going into Marxism or even communism.

If they support bozo then they are a MARXIST or Commie so there is no need to come out with the fake outrage when called those names

[mojitojoe]

I agree. If anyone denies that now, they are delusional. Our worse nightmare is now here. It’s not just Obongo and pals, there are Republicans, judges, 95% of the news media. It’s a done deal. Our only hope is a military take over and start over again, using the CONSTITUTION!

[fightinbluhen51]

Don’t want a military take over...I want a citizen takeover, of our Government! Not even the Military Elites can be trusted. Grunts, yes, joint chiefs, no thanks.
