Ha!  Obama presided over the greatest economic crash since the Great Depression.  It was no surprise to anyone other than democrats (who don't really care about economics anyway).

No we didn't, Jim, not at all.  ;-)

Absolutely true!  I only hope Barr intends to do something about it...

2020, the year of licentiousness — i.e. anarchy.

Brilliant and beautiful!  "No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions."

From an Age of Reason.  Renaissance, anyone?

Another reason I believe every American upon coming of age should be given the choice to sign the Declaration of Independence.  Those that do will have a part in the electing of representatives.  Those that don't will still be treated as children and wards of the State — they would not be eligible for voting on representatives because only a republican form of government is permitted in these Unites States, and our representatives are to be representative of a sovereign people, not would-be subjects of a Crown.  In a free republic, no one is permitted to be a slave — even if they want to be. ;-)

70 million people are not a remnant.  ;-)  Just piss them off and see.  (It's coming.)

Can you imagine the likes of George Washington representing Americans today? (!!)

Too true!

Suicide is a choice to kill oneself.  Abortion is a choice to kill another — the baby is given NO choice.

Effective at what?  Ushering in socialism?

Wow, we've come a long way, baby!

I wholeheartedly agree with Adams, but I am a bit torn as even Adams admitted:

"All good government is and must be republican. But at the same time, you can or will agree with me, that there is not in lexicography a more fraudulent word... Are we not, my friend, in danger of rendering the word republican unpopular in this country by an indiscreet, indeterminate, and equivocal use of it?"

Truer even now in the age of identity politics.  Who do you think you are? ;-)

We must stand up!  You and I!  It's long past due!  We've got the hounds on the run!

What a difference from your comment 6 years ago!  The Obama years were not very kind were they.  Personally I have found the Trump era to be the best for the American republican form of government in over a century.

It's been a long time coming.  Election rigging has been getting increasingly worse.  We are ever reminded that we do not have to trust government officials — in fact they are NOT to be trusted any more than a mafia boss trusts the counters in the counting room.  If the opportunity is there to cheat or steal, someone will avail themselves of it — an inconvenient truth.

The fact that elections are not run with the accuracy of an ATM transaction just shows the intention is to leave room for cheating.

We will soon see...

Wow, thank you, Patrick Henry.  Your eloquence is unmatched.  Cheers!

We stand here at the precipice in Nov 2020 to see whether Law or Tyranny will prevail...

Socialism makes its inroads via lawyers.  If the American republic is ever conquered by socialism, the lawyers will be the de facto ruling class, right underneath the central bankers.  You can thank the lawyer factories at Harvard, Yale, and the Ivy League schools for diluting the Common Law with commercial color of law.  We are not free Americans, but tokens in a Monopoly game, playing by the rules the banker has dictated to us.  There is no living outside of the box!

Short and sweet!  I may not agree with your ideas, but I will defend your right to have them.

Ron I am happy for your journey and relationship with Nature's God.  You should be happy for mine.  ;-)

Very good point, Mary!  Got that Robert?

I think treating people how you would like to be treated, and allowing others to do the same is the essence of association.  It is the beginning, not the end.  Twisting the quote into "Treat people they way they want to be treated" sounds nice except what if the person wants to be treated as the boss of everyone else?  What if they want my property or labors?  What if their wants are unattainable?  Do they have a right to my obedience?

The pursuit of happiness is personal.  I cannot fulfill another's purpose in life.  Interesting that the people who do agree with such sentiments want to regulate everyone else's behavior. 

Talk about ego-centric!
