I'm one of the few people here who didn't get worked up over CFR, and here's why: if Fedgov only spent money on things that were constitutionally mandated, no corporation or org. would bother wasting money trying to bribe a politician with donations - there would be no possibility for a quid pro quo.

I gotta laugh - all these folks scream "CFR tramples the Constitution!", while no one says squat about the trampling on the Constitution the donations buy.

An analogy would be if the folks on Flight 93 spent their last moments complaining that the bags of peanuts were too small...

Similarly, if politicians' acts were publicized, and citizens voted them out, it would stop. Paradoxically, since there is so much of this crap, we can't focus on anyone or anything.

Hi Senator. A president lying, violating the oath of office, and signing an unconstitutional bill is certaining not new terrain. I would actually say, business as usual in the District of Criminals. As I've said a million times, the American people are the problem. The vast majority know nothing of the Constitution, the founding principles, the founding fathers, the founding documents, history, Republic vs. Democracy, and the citizen diligence needed to run off the confiscators. It means nothing to them. They may pay a little lip service, wave a flag, and sing some songs, but that's about it. They, along with so many corporations, continually have their hands outstretched for the confiscating coffers collected by the whores of withholding. Someday, they'll be handed a ball and chain, reaped from their sown deeds. History provides us a clear picture of the consequences of a nation participating in socialism/communism. Totalitarianism. Slavery and death. The laws on the books now are calling, dictator, step right up. It's so bad, people think this is normal. Normal for a slave.

How Communism Came to America
