Guys, it's "letters of marque and reprisal." See Article I, Section 8, paragraph 11 of the U.S. Constitution.

A "marquis" (English spelling marquess) is a member of the nobility who ranks below a duke and above an earl.

I was wondering how long it would take someone to notice that...honestly the state of our educational system makes me fear for our entire civilization's future.

Viguerie is just another one of those soured old hyper-conservative know-it-all's. Being a knee-jerk conservative is no better than being a knee-jerk liberal...well aside from starting on the right side...it is reacting without thought, reason, or a sense of practicality.

Run-Fred-Run!...Win-Fred-Win!
