An interesting and lively discussion of unconstitutional "standing armies" and "Federal Reserve" banks devolved into...this: "...Some think we exist largely as a temporal protector of Israel, until circumstances unfold for the end-time scenario. I really don't know. ..." But I am afraid that David DOES know, and what he knows is that the United States is to be the cat's-paw for his New World Order and that is simply wrong. The founders had it right. No standing armies. Of course no Federal Reserve System. Etc. If someone would have suggested a North American Union to any one of the founders, there would have been trouble. On the spot. It's that time again.
