We all know how this is going to turn out. Despite our relentless protests, Bush is going to have his way. His warped little mind thinks that he can sc*ew the american public out of money without any repurcussions. :devil: He is determined to line the pockets of his cronies, the big businesses. So, if you are an average american, just accept the fact that Bush has once again stuck it to us.

That is unbelievable!!! SO, So UNFAIR!!! There ought to be something we could do about this!!! I say DEAN is the way to go!!!

This stuff always makes me laugh. "DEAN is the way to go!!!" That nuts. Socialism is socialism. Just because Dean is a liberal socialist does not make him any less of a socialist that Bush. And just because Bush is a conservative socialist does not make him any less of a socialist than Dean. To complete the transformation of America into a complete socialist nation, overtime must be done away with and Americans must be lower to the level of the third world countries so that we can all be equal. It matter little which socialist you put into office; nor do they really care. It was a liberal socialist that was really pushing NAFTA. Having a little bit of socialism is like having a little bit of aids or a little bit of communism. As my husband says, a little bit of salt in my coffee is still salt in my coffee. The established religion of America 2000 is socialism and it is divided into to denomination - democrat and republican. Regardless of which denomination you adhere to, you still get socialism.

Until Americans get educated and get involved, the socialist will do what they want regardless who is in the Big Seat, and regardless of protests. As been pointed out many times over the last 200 years, Americans cannot be uneducated, uninformed and uninvolved and expect to be free or in control of the government. Sheesh - I bet most of you actually believe that the United States consist of 50 States too. Well there is only 49; in fact, recent and ongoing research may lower it to 48. And just as you falsely believe there is 50 Sates, you probably believe that changing from one socialist to another will actually make a difference. What a crock. This nonsense always makes me laugh. As my husband says, Americans have become such gutless complacent whiners, that they are not fit for anything more than complete communism.

I'd also like to hear an explanation for this statement.

Other than being fun in a Trivial Pursuit game I can't imagine why the "Ohio Connection" is anything at all to worry about. Just about every person on the planet accepts that it is a state. So someone messed up either intentionally or not and now it is corrected. Are we worried that these people from Ohio are really alien spies from Neptune out to destroy our planet or something? Oh, capitalism isn't performing too well either, at least not in this country.

WyomingRN · Feb 11, 2004

WOW - just amazing! I can only assume you didn't read the entire article. If you had, you would have understood why the events of Ohio's statehood is so important. Especially when combined with the real 13th Amendment. See http://www.barefootsworld.net/real13th.html In short:

"Decency, security, and liberty alike demand that government officials shall be subjected to the same rules of conduct that are commands to the citizen. In a government of laws, existence of the government will be imperiled if it fails to observe the law scrupulously. Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy." Olmstead v. U.S - U.S. Supreme Court

America is suppose to be a nation of law where even the government and those running the government are suppose to follow the law; and when they don't, what they do is void.

Moreover, it is up to the citizens to see to it that those in government are following the law. It is because Americans don't fulfill the obligations as citizens that has let the government turn into a rouge State. And this is same reason why "capitalism isn't performing too well either". Because the citizens are not doing their duty to keep the government within the bounds of the Constitutions, America is now a socialist nation no longer based upon capitalism. See Socialism vs. Capitalism - http://famguardian.org/Subjects/Politics/Articles/SocialismVCapitalism.htm

You post comes across as "who cares" and that is the problem of America. It is that kind of an attitude that has gotten America into this situation and it is that kind of an attitude that has allowed the government to run amuck and ignore the laws and Constitution whenever it chooses to do so. It is that kind of an attitude that has allowed such poor foreign policy; it is that kind of an attitude that has allowed such disastrous trade policy; and it is that kind of an attitude that will be the destruction of America.

As Jefferson said, "The price of liberty is eternal vigilance."

In short, either we are going to enforce the laws and EVERYBODY is subject to the laws - or we will eventually have anarchy.
