oh, so it is more government that you want...


Government bureaucracy- the generous spender of other's money (and debt creator for future generations), consistently and effectively inefficient as well as fiefdom builders extraordinaire  

Government: accountable to the people - apparently not anymore! It was a good idea while it lasted...and it lasted until the government became a tax and spend and spend and spend machine. 

We are from the government and we are here to plunder, pillage and generally create havoc (or you can fill in the blank with any freedom and liberty inhibiting phrase, program, tax, regulatory enactment, etc of your choosing)...

I voice support for politician liability...


if old Bernie can seek to place after-the-fact liability on gun makers.....

I voice support for politician liability...for all of the incompetence, dereliction of duty, destruction of freedom, ignorance of and blatant disregard for the Constitution, pork barrel funding, ginormous debt creation for future generations to deal with (inter-generational theft), power brokering for personal enrichment and general malfeasance....

This new class of elite, the professional career politician, must have some accountability for their continued harm that they inflict upon the American people - the death of the American Dream.

here, here I say....

the English language is so rich with amazing words....may we not limit ourselves to a diet of verbal junk food.....

let us desire to expand our vocabulary and thereby lift the art of speaking and communicating to that of our founders.....rich, poignant, intellectually stimulating, lacking in wasteful verbosity!  
Another unfortunate trait of our society is the use of profanity. Some do not seem able to string together a simple sentence without at least one vulgar expression in it. This is not a matter of freedom of speech, but of common decency. One can, and should be able to, express one's ideas sans vulgar and profane words. An inability to do so demonstrate's, as our own grandfather was want to say, demonstrates an ignorance of the English language. One mark of the Founders was their way with words. If we wish to see their like again, we should strive to improve our own language and the ability to express our ideas. The loss of that plays into the hands of tyrants and despots.

"The General is sorry to be informed that the foolish, and wicked practice, of profane cursing and swearing (a Vice heretofore little known in an American Army) is growing into fashion; he hopes the officers will, by example, as well as influence, endeavour to check it, and that both they, and the men will reflect, that we can have little hopes of the blessing of Heaven on our Arms, if we insult it by our impiety, and folly; added to this, it is a vice so mean and low, without any temptation, that every man of sense, and character, detests and despises it."
~ George Washington, General Orders on Profanity (August 3, 1776)
