You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink...until it's thirsty enough. Maybe Waffler will figure this out. "To me Big Brother is basically political lying and expecting US to accept it." Well, what do you think Obuma and the Congress is doing to you?

Case in point: "Franklin's observation may or maynot be true" is obviously true if you understand the government, Waffler. My job is not to provide income for "groups" but to provide for me, my family, and support my friends. You and your groups can go suck off the government teat, thanks to me and the hardworkers overtaxed in this country. It's just disgusting, the blood suckers in the US!

Waffler, YOU are one of the reasons this country now sucks. I may have been snowed most of my life, but I know the truth now. My wish is for you to figure it out too. Everything you say has been spoonfed to you. If you are as brilliant as you think, verify it yourself. I don't have any more time to spend with the Maroons. God help the USA!

Washington DID resign in 1796. He had become disillusioned with the political split in the government. He wanted to resign after his first term but was persuaded not to. Less than 1% of the population, including Anonymous and Waffler, know anything about the constitution and what government is supposed to be. Try to do some research instead of relying on wrong schoolbooks and the media.

We are a democratic oligarchy now. The government owns us. IDIOTS have let this happen for almost 100 years now. Short of anarchy or a natural disaster, I don't see it changing. We are screwed as a nation by a few despots that directed us to our current state of waste. Absolutley corrupted by absolute power. Washington saw it coming centuries ago, that's why he resigned the Presidency when he did. Idiots who think this is the way it is supposed to be are just idiots.
