My personal doctor is bound by contractual terms as well as insurance company requirements. I'm afraid the Hippocratic Oath is down the line somewhere, and not as binding as a legal contract.

But I agree with you to a certain extent, there are market failures in our system which should be addressed. The trick is getting a majority of the people to agree on the particulars of the grievances so that we may petition the government with such.

I've read every surviving letter exchanged between several key parties in the leadup to and during the constitutional convention. In the original English mind you.

Yes, they recognized the AoC was not going to work, but, they were scared shitless of giving the Fed too much power and spent a GREAT DEAL of time trying to come up with ways to constrict it.

Alas, they couldn't constrain future totalitarians like your people no matter how hard they tried.

Tell us why they used that phrase [more perfect]

Because they were making it stronger by giving the central government more power than had existed under the Confederation. This is pretty widely known in our country.

Talk to us about how they viewed making it stronger. With excitement or trepidation?

Did they seek to make it a lot more powerful, or barely enough more powerful so that it could solve some of the AoC challenges?

What were the primary AoC challenges that led to the need for the convention?

Dude, please contain your responses to a single post. I'm not running around tracking down all of your responses to any one of my posts.

Maybe try sitting down first. Then take a deep breath. Next try reading through the entirety of the post to which you want to respond. Finally, after composing your response, utilize the "Preview" feature on the site to review your response to make sure you've touched on each topic you wish to address - as well as check for egregious spelling errors, typos, etc...

thx

Mgt.

This is rich on so many levels. The money printing scheme known at the Federal Reserve is the funding mechanism of the Welfare/Warfare State that seeks to enslave us.

The primary objective of the UniParty® is to perpetuate the Deep State and the primary objective of the Deep State is to perpetuate our nation’s print-on-demand monetary system. It is you who is siding with the forces of monetary collapse and fiscal ruin.

The current trajectory is simply unsustainable. At some point gravity will take over and it will not be a soft landing for any of us.

My dad died a few years ago and although I miss him every day, I’m glad that he doesn’t have to witness all the bullshite we see today.

I’m sorry for your loss.... It is hard watching him get so angry and not understanding why more men aren’t stepping up to stop this.

But he is very active and informed.... He gave me his debit card number and calls me constantly telling me to send $50-100 to every America First candidate he likes. Every week he hand writes his disgust on the RNC contribution solicitations and mails it back in their return envelope. He used to tape a dollar bill but I convinced him not to even send that.

Last night he called me and said to sign him up and make a donation to the convention of states petition. He wrote down the website he saw while watching the Trump rally.

He sent me, one of my friends and my youngest child to DC January 6 and was going to pay for my oldest two but they had to work. He tries to send us to every rally as well.

He used to go to the grocery store a few times a week but now he is well stocked for many years. Even had a huge propane tank delivered to be able to cook for a decade. His shop looks like a mini Amazon facility.

That’s not including all ammo, gold and silver he is accumulating. He even buys cases of ivermectin and gives it to everyone he knows.

It’s crazy to see a side of your parent that you’ve never seen before but I am proud as hell. It definitely makes me appreciate him the more I read about others who can’t convince their parents to stop getting the jab and listening to MSM.

He even ditched ATT for Pure Talk and cut the cord. Made me set up a new smart tv.... which is still pretty hilarious trying to help him with all his new technology.

I do too. Some form of political separation is a peaceful compromise to the growing cultural impasse between the Red and Blue States.

I certainly do not seek to impose the predominate cultural values of Alabama upon the citizens of, say, San Francisco’s Castro district. Yet that philosophy of “live and let live” should likewise be reciprocated to the citizens of Alabama.

What I am advocating is indeed letting Alabama be Alabama and likewise letting California be California. We could call such a system of governance — oh I don’t know — “Federalism?”

My yankee arse in-laws were blown away at the fact that I sleep with a pistol in my nightstand.
“OH MY GOD YOU HAVE A GUN?!”

Why don’t you? You’re the one who lives near Chicago.

The first thing my daddy bought me when I got my car at 15 was a .22 for under my driver’s seat.

You can imagine the horror when I tell people this.

Yeah I'm thinking a lot more than 19.8, but shotguns, lever actions and .22 probably making up the bulk of the 434M

First, I wasn't directing that at you.

I have never once supported anyone who has voted, or signed any bill to increase our debt load through deficit spending. Can you say the same?

One of my values is living within one's means. The majority of both major political parties have consistently voted against my values, therefore I don't support them through my vote.

Given your use of the "Uniparty" term, I suspect we are in agreement. So what have I posted to make you think I have sided, "with the forces of monetary collapse and fiscal ruin"? Where have I ever indicated I have done as you suggest?

People KEEP trying to put me in that box, yet NO ONE has come up with one single thing I've posted to indicate I'm aligned with the deficit spenders.

That's right, I'd rather try to work through legal channels than commit unlawful acts of violence against those people who keep voting for bills, and signing them into law, that drive us ever deeper into debt.

So, why do you support those people who are actively trying to bankrupt us?

This right here is significant. Local citizens should NEVER be confronted by federal officers.

By definition, that is a police state being directed by authoritarianism.

LOL. If they are looking at civil war they best take another look at the presidential election maps. The only thing that allows the liberals to exist today is the conservatives law and order beliefs. If a civil war happens and law and order are replaced with survival mode, then it will be a very short civil war.
