“There ought to be a law to take these incapable idiots out of office...”

Yeah, unfortunately the real problem is you have to “take out” the black idiots who routinely return this moron to office. And you know what, I will bet that most of them think he’s a smart guy!

The year 1913 was a real statist trifecta, what with the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Amendments plus the Federal Reserve Act. If I were a triskaidekaphobe, that’d be the year I’d point to for justification of same.

Incorrect. We practiced the free market system for about 100 years, then about 50 years of strong government interference, then more than 70 years of outrageous government interference.

IQ means nothing without good character, if IQ means aught at all. If so, then IQ combined with good character makes most people who possess such qualities flee politics anyhow.

Well, it worked for Obola! The few Blacks I know just hold their forearms up next to Obola’s on the TV and say Yup, das my man! That their skin tones match is ALL that matters to them.

With all the taxes, regulations, EOs, rules and fees there hasn’t been a free market in the USA in my life time and I’m going on 70.

Good observation. Any one of those three hellish changes was bad enough, but all three on the same year?

We’re still suffering in the darkness.

By the way, too few people are aware of the damage done by the 17th Amendment, how that made each senator a “national” senator and loyal to the federal government as opposed to their states.

One of the amendments passed by A convention of states should repeal the 17th.

The Seventeenth left Article V as the sole recourse left to the states to exercise their power at the federal level.

Must see YouTube video! (no joke, he was dead serious!)

March 2010:

Democrat Representative Hank Johnson fears Guam may tip over and "capsize" due to overpopulation!

Check out the reaction of the military official he was questioning!
