Sounds like Florida all over again. 3 Reply Mary - MI 10/30/14 Very similar to " "He who controls the money supply of a nation controls the nation." 5 Reply Mike, Norwalk 10/30/14 I am not quite sure how to rate this; 5 stars plus for accuracy of the statement or, a thumbs down for the direct and completed application in Amerika (probably a thumbs down for morality's sake). anonymous, not just Florida but, places like where 108% of the electorate voted for your socialist candidate last election without 1 vote going to his opposition (knowing there was at least 1 politically active Mormon in that area - and no looking into the matter afterwards) With voting machines in place (the politically active counting the vote in a foreign socialist nation) and the system otherwise rigged where needed, Amerika's electoral outcome is and will be hereafter an already known (pre-programed) event by the elite puppeteers. 2 Reply cal, lewisville, tx 10/30/14 If he ever bothered to count them. 2 Reply Ronw13, Yachats Or 10/30/14 The quote blatantly spoken by a true tyrant. Mikes comment brings to mind William Wordsworth, " The Happy Warrior ". "Who, with a natural instinct to discern What knowledge can perform, is diligent to learn; Abides by his resolve, and stops not there, But makes his moral being his primary care. Tis he whose law is reason: who depends Upon that law as on the best of friends." As also James Russell Lowell, For the benefit of instilling hope, " The Present Crisis " Careless seems the great Avenger; history's page but record One death-grapple in the darkness ' twist old systems and the Word; Truth upon the scaffold , Wrong forever on the throne,- Yet that scaffold sways the future, and, behind the dim unknown, Standeth God within the shadow keeping watch above his own. Slow of faith how weak an arm may turn the iron helm of fate, But the soul is still oracular ; amid the market's din, List the omnious stern whisper from the Delphic cave within,- " They enslave their children's children who make compromise with sin. " 2 Reply E Archer, NYC 10/30/14 Just look at the sham of a presidential election in Ohio in 2012 -- it was a key swing state with results that were very obviously skewed in untraditional voting patterns. There are other irregularities. Time after time the socialists have been caught stuffing the ballot box. Distrust anyone who promotes the idea that voting does not need to be as accountable as using a credit card with a fully auditable paper trail. Electronic voting without a paper trail is the easiest to counterfeit. 3 Reply E Archer, NYC E Archer, NYC 11/6/20 I never imagined in my wildest dreams that we would witness voter fraud on such a scale as now in 2020. This is truly right out of Stalin's playbook. 3 Reply jim k, austin 11/5/20 This describes our current election. 3 Reply Mary, MI 11/5/20 2020 Counts are nothing but absolutely criminal. Reply Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown 10/25/22 Voting appears ineffectual. The voters favor someone who justify their practices, and when everyone is a criminal the biggest criminal gets the votes. Under the present circumstances ideas, forwardness are all lost because these denote abiding by laws and rules to which the conventional individual has little interest. Reply Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown 10/31/24 We need law-abiding citizens. We need ideas and creativity, people who are interested in rules and laws so we preform the vital functions to maintain our species. SaveOk2 SaveOk2 View CommentsClick to view or comment.
