Because we pay no attention to the wisdom of those who came before us. Geo Washington (Farewell Address): "The great rule of conduct for us, in regard to foreign nations, is, in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connexion as possible. So far as we have already formed engagements, let them be fulfilled with perfect good faith. Here let us stop."

perfect!

GEEESSS Waffler, do you even know where you live? Do you know the history of this country? Do you know it is NOT a bleeping democracy? It is a REPUBLIC, by design, or is trying to be one, but so many of our rulers are lifting their leg on the US Constitution and Bill of Rights this country is turning into a weak, milk-toast, brain-dead society and it is thanks to people who are too ignorant to realize what they were GIVEN and what is their responsibilty to leave as a legacy. LIBERTY, not a pile of debt and dead soldiers across the globe, money without worth, media that propagandizes, the list is long, as we are witnessing at this time. We need able bodied people to board the freedom train, not stand on the corner with a hand out...have you never heard of self-reliablity, self-responsibility, or self-sufficiency? Have you no pride in yourself? No love of your country? One cannot take care of those in need until they have taken care of themselves. I am so frustrated words fail me. In fact, you must be playing devil's advocate for sake of an argument...there is little honor in forcing anyone to do something against his/her will. That would not make us 'great' but enslaved.

I was under the impression this was a site for those who THINK. It is turning into an outlet for those who don't think as they are too busy slinging mud. I may unsubscribe unless people have something to say that is intelligent.
