‘No one living under any substantial federally subsidized income should be allowed to vote for reasons of conflict of interest at least.’

If, by this, you think I mean those receiving the SS they paid into or the members and former members of the military collecting taxpayer money for their service in protecting the taxpayer, then you’re just looking for a fight.

Try down the hall at the office of elections when they allow vast numbers of overseas ballots from military serving overseas because they vote majority republican

This time you left out the last word in that quote..."PERIOD"

Kinda indicated "no exemptions" to me.

BTW, "Try down the hall at the office of elections when they allow vast numbers of overseas ballots from military serving overseas because they vote majority republican"...you sure you don't wanna rephrase that? I THINK I know what you meant, but....

Erase the slate and try hard to return to pre-1913 condition.

IMO, repealing the XIX amendment would be a great place to start.

It's easy to track the beginning of America's decline when we foolishly gave women the right to vote.

For the most part, men aren't the ones voting for the expansion of the nanny state.

Stop

Anyone who equates this group with veterans and or social security recipients can’t properly discern and needs a lesson in basic civics.

No I don’t want to rephrase anything. In Florida for instance in 2000 vast amounts of ballots were disposed of from overseas military.

Military votes majority republican. The democrats are the massive cheaters. That’s well known

drs are FORCED to prescribe huge amts of drugs....just go back and reread several threads in the past on cutting back on oxy prescriptions....you'd think the actual life blood of some freepers was going to be siphoned off, they were so irate that anyone anywhere would question their oxy use...how dare they?

all govt defined pensions including military should be abolished...immediately....replaced with a 401k that you get vested in immediately...

govt and military decisions should never be left up to the ones receiving the goodies ....

the sex drugs, the abortion mills, the birth control, the porn, the condoms....all of it....

Vatican 2 IIRC changed the way we Catholics viewed sex....

before, sex was for the creation of children...

after Vatican 2, it was changed to include the "mutual satisfaction of the couple"...

IOWS...sex was important for making babies, and you had to be married to do that, and then all of a sudden, babies were just another factor to consider...that pleasure was equally important...

and now, pleasure is all people seek...

I agree with you. Mostly because I am a history buff and, further, I believe what Secretary Seward and Lincoln himself wanted to do to resolve the slavery problem: ship them all back to the country from which they were obtained.

If the right ever gets complete control of this now pitiful nation they should do the same thing in regards to Obama’s deliberate and calculated importation of the evil Muslims.

there is NO EXPLANATION as to why our military "leaders" have allowed homosexuals to have so much power in our military or why women will be forced to the front lines except that they are waiting on their vast pensions....

men who can act without thought of financial penalty would make much better choices...

I don’t take oxy

I wouldn’t even consider taking it for more than one week without admitting I was an addict. Seeing in the medical industry the evil that comes out when anyone is forced by a nurse busy with life saving measures on some other patient who would have the gall to have a cardiac event, to have to wait twenty minutes for their scheduled oxy, Ativan, tramodol or Xanax, I call them addicts. That’s what they are. I treat them as someone who would take their mothers diamond ring and sell it to get a fix Their families are caught in the dysfunction and I won’t be. I give them their mess because that s what they and their doctror and their families have decided on

But I don’t use. I couldn’t and have a normal life

I did not read the thread. I am very busy

I have zero doubt there are oxy addicts on this site

Pensions for military having worked twenty to thirty years being twenty four seven in call are never goodies. I don’t care what kind of sycophantic worker any of tgem have been in any number of their jobs I have never in twenty five years in the military met one twenty plus - er that doesn’t deserve a pension

It is not a goodie. It is part of the lack of compensation one would get doing the same job in the private sector

It is certainly not decided upon by the military itself. It is congress who is in charge of the military. And We are not yet communist— it is the citizens who are in charge of congress. Who are in charge of the military

Quit insulting the military

The reason the military does anything is at the command of the commander in chief and the congress both of whom are voted in by the electorate

Tgere is never ever going to be a valid point made without realizing that

The military works for the people. It’s the people in the majority that want the homosexual influx.

I would only add the word “Practical” in front of the word “atheism.” There are plenty of “religious” folks who are acting like there are no truly transcendental truths.

But does that mean that we are on the verge of collapsing as a nation?

No, but there are individuals who appear to be preparing to collapse as individuals. There are lots of people who are obese, but there are also many of us who take care of ourselves. Like all countries, we have folks who use drugs, booze and tobacco, but many of us don't.

There have always been people who thought that the world was coming to an end. There have always been people who are unhappy. There have always been people who are certain that the rest of the world is causing their misery. There have always been angry people who blame everyone else for their personal failures.

It's sad, but I don't think that there is really any cure for people who find it so difficult to appreciate the gift of life that has been given to them. Just pray for them.

I consider myself very lucky to have been born in this country. It is exceptional.
