Indeed. More like “wards of the state” than “sovereign nations”.

“And why is everyone I know on some kind of meds? “

Yeah noticed that as well.. I am proud to say I am on NONE of them. I suppose a drugged population (be they for any number of newly created medical “conditions” or illegal drugs) Is a whole lot easier to control.

I see kids in their 20s with more pills today than most seniors.

Honestly? I think life was better when we didn’t nanny people to death and left them alone. NYS will eventually learn this no matter how miserable they make the state.

Yes, I left out the state of NY. I am so used to focusing on the FedGov here. A POX on them all is quite fitting.

Yep, Paladino is a RINO. He is also anti-gun and pro-abortion IIRC.

If they are a sovereign nation, treat them like one. If they are not, then do the same.

The Indian reservations have destroyed the tribes.

The tribes should use any legal rights and power they have to call the tax and spend nanny state dogs off. We all need to stand up for our rights and each others’ rights now.

I have a gut feeling 'we' will. I have never been thrilled with the attitude the FedGov has taken towards us citizens and neither has anyone else I know. But I've never been so thoroughly POed as I am now and I've never seen so much resentment throughout the country either.

Ole tin-eared Barry has shown everyone what a cold unfeeling giant the FedGov is and how little it actually does for us with our money.

It is IMMORAL to take dirty cigarette money.

It is IMMORAL to use the guns of government to enforce a personal objection to a legal substance.
