I'm feeling under-appreciated again. I refuse to post another thing until I get seven (7) comments from seven (7) different readers.
Have a nice day!

You are right. We, the conservative taxpaying working class have to demand our money's worth from our elected officials.
I heard the CIA loves to read this blog. Dont leave em hangin.
Ill be damn. Tyler again!!!!!
"They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a (federal marshall) guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. The millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard (in Washington, D.C.)! The war is inevitable--and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come.
It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace-- but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from (inside the beltway) will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
- Patrick Henry
slightly modified for current conditions.
My, how timeless and universal are the truths about the evil of governments and the predictability of men in places of power.
That our current batch of oath-of-office-defying politicians have what they view as the perfect boogeyman in the form of global terrorism doesn't alter the simple truth that government invariably degenerates into despotism. It is for this reason that Mr. Jefferson said that "..the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants."
When it came time for him to sign the Declaration of Independence, John Hancock wrote his signature large, so that the King would have no trouble reading his name. Why are all the comments here invariably "anonymous"?
Five down, two to go...
And THAT, my friends, is why Jeff gets access!
PS-The first comment doesn't count as a comment.
i say get rid of all the parties, no more democrats, no more republicans, and just vote solely on the fact that a canidate isn't a huge dipsh**. and then nominate you for king of America.
Alright, alright, somebody else say something, dammit!
