I’ve been telling my kids since birth that Lincoln was the worst Predident in history. The civil war was the first federal power grab, plain and simple and our country was decimated in the process. How in anyones mind could this man be considered great?
That is the problem with the current movements to protest. We need super wealthy men and women to gamble their fortunes on another revolution. This one though can be won on the internet and through TV shows.
If our founders were still in charge there would quickly be a shortage of tar and feathers
Very well. We'll be happy to.
Ted Nugent isn’t crazy, he’s just one of the FEW who have the guts to tell it like it is! We wouldn’t be in this mess if the repub congress critters had half the guts this man has!
They would take up arms and rebel against Obama, the Mau Mau king, now as they did King George then.....
RKBA is a big ol’ trip-wire. They step on that one, there won’t be elections in 2012. We’ll probably still be in a running fire-fight.
"Did Nugent remember that, when France went against Bush in voting for the Iraq War?"
--Yeah. We ALL do. They sniveled and balked at a time when they could have stood-up for what was right. Guess they had too mu$h invested with Saddam that they didn't want to do the right thing. They will never be forgotten for that error in judgement and lack of involvement in the U.S. Coalition.
" And our Statue of Liberty that we’re so proud of: a gift from France".
--It was the best and nicest gift they've ever given US, but it was teamwork between the U.S. and France to get it done. We each paid our portions and we had to build the enormous base.
"The cost of seeing a doctor just for the flu is over $100. I don’t know what can be done. But something must be done."
--I agree. And the answer is in competition within the private sector, but nothing should change with health care for the elderly the way it is now. They've earned that.
There is a thumbnail sketch at wikipedia. Most of this is basic American history.
At this rate, we may not even HAVE elections in a few years.
It depends on how hard and fast it's stepped on. The Federal Courts have been upholding unconstitutional law with overt corrupt logic (plain as day, to anyone who looks at the cited cases, Miller and Presser) for upwards of 70 years, and the people are okay with that.
More recently, the United States Supreme Court, in Heller, twisted the Miller case to stand for the opposite of what is says, and the gun-right lobby cheered! Hooray! We win!
If the United States Supreme Court denies cert to the Chicago/NRA and Maloney (nunchucks) cases, we have status quo. And status quo (30+ years guns have been banned in Chicago) hasn't set off any "trip wire."
Couldn't disagree more. I think they would be amazed at how well the little project in self government turned out. I also think given some acclimation time they would point to the problem areas that need correction quite easily.
that statement belies your misinformartion on this, the GOP has offered alternative health care proposals like tax free healthcare savings accounts and company healthcare pools and whatnot for years but the Dems block it
they want to own healthcare for the power and revenue
Heck, they try and pass another Brady Bill and we'll start picking off the low hanging fruit.
Well, it’s nice to see an optimist. I hope you are right.
Don't know that I'd go that far. :D)
4th of July ping!!
