And on we go down that Roman road of no return.

Consider just our tax code alone-endless pages and opinions.

My greatest fear is that our society has become so ill that there is no cure.

Well said Mike!!!!!!!!!!!

What can the majority of the last presidential election claim that does not sound insane?

Can one or a few be right and the majority be wrong?

Speaking of Stalin and Mao, don't forget Lyndon Johnson-drunk with power!

I like what he says, but not what he did. He began the 16th ammendent to our constitution.

I know what you mean Jim K. We have two lawyer senators from our state I'm not very pleased with.

Jim K, don't forget to add MSMBC to your list. Chris Mathews makes me want to puke when he talks of that warm tingle in his leg when he thinks of Obama. I believe he is urinating on himself to get that feeling.

Most any 10 people can add 2 + 2 and get the same answer; however, 10 different media sources seldom if ever come to the same conclusion about the same topic. Are we getting "news" or "opinions" from our media?

Waffler, maybe we should all think like lawyers. Always in writing and documented!

We once had the right to private-peaceful assembly; however, the government is using the 16th ammendent to police these private clubs and groups to adhere to unwanted federal rules or lose their tax exemption.

Our right to bear arms insures no dictatorship in this nation!

I like this quote-and Dick Trice, are you really from Texas or are you just a transplant from New England?

Waffler, I'm sure Jefferson would have never wanted what our nation has turned out to be because of Washington D.C. and the federal courts. He preached state and local government-never centralized government and nationalization of all powers of rule.

Low taxes and small, balanced budgets are what create jobs. This administration has put us already where Friedman warned us about.

Rick Jolly, you never owned any money. You only had it in your possession, but federal reserve notes belong to the government. Destroy one and they will arrest you for destroying federal property. I don't like the thought of it either, but it is an unfortuneate truth. Now, remember her highness Barbara Boxer, who demands to be addressed as SENATOR. She feels this is a title of power over others and so deserves so much respect. Now we know who is master and who is serf!

For so many years Rehnquist stood alone for "limited" power on the supreme court.

Folks across this nation are saying to Texas, "Go ahead and get out of the union, we want you to go!" I wonder what the feds would think of this?

You know what Jefferson said Mike. The tree of liberty must be water by the blood of tyrants and patriots from time to time. Will it soon be necessary to come to this?

Those supporting "Obama Care" are telling us not to worry-we'll take good care of you. Only an idiot would not know the truth to that!

It was such laws that caused a revolution here in 1776. Do we need a re-boot?

He said "people" which concludes strengh in numbers.

This explains the difference between a democracy and a republic. In a democracy the 51% or more feel they have the total right to force their way on the 49% or less.
