Well, this thread has been really interesting. One thing for sure, in reading back through all the posts, its very clear on which side the haters, the envious, the jealous and the bitter reside.
To you lefties posting here, consider this: One day our grand children and great grand children will be looking back on those of us who are living and voting now, and they will ask the question: "What the fuck were they thinking?!! Why didn't they speak out?!!! Why did they sit still while the precious pearl of liberty was being destroyed?!!" I've often had the same thoughts about those who came before us ... those who stood still while the Progressive Income Tax was being passed, when the Federal Reserve Act was passed, when the money was removed from the gold standard, when every Progressive program was jammed down a misinformed and unaware public's throat ... from Wilson, FDR, Johnson ... and now Obama.
Soon to come, and issued by the Progressives in the next step toward totalitarianism: A value added tax ... in addition to the existing income tax, of course.
Interesting also, that the resident government doctor hasn't continued to post in the thread.
