Only the foreign exchange market can restore federal financial management.

The votes have been counted, sometimes twice, and sometimes more often.

Lincoln was a butcher. Mr. Lincoln's War

“Slaveholders, dead set on tearing the country apart, forced Lincoln “

Bold-faced LIE.

Keep listening to the deep state leftist.

The most infuriating sight, for me, was to see three presidents – Clinton, Obama and Biden – basking in the somber glory of the day. These men, more than anyone, could’ve spared America the shame, disgrace, and peril we now feel. At critical junctures, they chose to coddle the cancer. They still are.

We Americans celebrate Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, but H.L. Mencken correctly evaluated the speech: “It is poetry, not logic; beauty, not sense.” Lincoln said the soldiers sacrificed their lives “to the cause of self-determination — that government of the people, by the people, for the people should not perish from the earth.” Mencken said: “It is difficult to imagine anything more untrue. The Union soldiers in the battle actually fought against self-determination; it was the Confederates who fought for the right of people to govern themselves.”

The War of 1861 brutally established that states could not secede. We are still living with its effects. Because states cannot secede, the federal government can run roughshod over the U.S. Constitution’s limitations of the Ninth and 10th Amendments. States have little or no response.

Walter Williams was a great man.

To every Union Republic is reserved the right freely to secede from the USSR.

— 1936 USSR Constitution, Article 17

Each Union Republic shall retain the right freely to secede from the USSR.

— 1977 USSR constitution, Article 72

Aside from this being a red herring, no new amendment or law following the American civil war was established explicitly forbidding secession and no power existed to run roughshod over states’ rights until the 16^th and 17^th Amendments (specifically Marxist in nature) came to be; and if any subjugated nation tried to leave the USSR when that entity was strong, a brutal crackdown would ensue—like what happened to Hungary.

And you are an idiot!!!

[libertylover]

As long as we have this mindset, the how will come.

Come on, man. Liberals have not had that mindset for a very long time.

[Kaslin]

he obviously does.

This seems as good a thread as any to stick this new report from a longtime JFK shooting researcher in re: JFKJ and his plane crash:

[Alas Babylon!]

Let me fix it, then...

democratsSlaveholders, dead set on tearing the country apart, forced Lincoln to choose an excruciating, but nobler, peace.

Biden’s botched Afghanistan pullout – the crowning catastrophe of all of his disasters.

So far, that is. Xiden is not done yet.

[SoCal Pubbie]

That settles it. If I’m opposite the views of Pat Buchanan, I know I’m right!
