Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury that is the American public, it is my concern and intention to alert you to the actions of the 111TH congress and prove to you its criminal actions perpetrated under both the Color of Law and the Color of Office. The Constitution of The United States is the supreme law of the land. (Art 6) As such, it is imperative that the Constitution be referenced in this proof that our current congress has been acting criminally.

I believe that words have power. I believe that there are two groups of words which have special power as well: Names, and Oaths. Names have the interesting effect that people tend to live up to them, in one way or another; if the world names you as a shit-bag, then chances are you have no particular reason to act in a contrary manner. But it’s the other class that I’d like to talk about today: Oaths. There are several vernacular expressions which lend themselves to the mode of thought that words, and oaths particularly, are important, such as “being...

The Consent of the Governed ver II                                                                                                                                A Treatise             Here, in the United States, we there are many founding documents which deal, either directly or indirectly, with the idea that the government is subject to the consent of the governed. Among these are The Constitution of the United States of America, The Declaration of Independence. Several of The Federalist Papers, and numerous Constitutions of the various States of the Union.            There are even hints of this in the oaths of office for federal employees, judges, and even the Oath of Enlistment. As an example, let us examine the Oath of Enlistment for...

I've seen several posts and complaints about YouTube censoring people via comment-thrashing or video-pulling... I took it with a grain of salt until it happened to me, not the first reply to this guy which shows up, but the second which never did: mihaidobrota (3 days ago) I don't know to many things about Obama, but I definitely know he can not be worst then fucking Bush.... BUCK FUSH, FOR DESTROYING THE US! OneWingedShark (3 days ago) Question: what basis do you have for saying that about Pr Bush? He did not tolerate the evil he saw in terrorism and...

Ah, I'm doing a bit of a project right now concerning government corruption. (No, it's not a school project.) And I was wondering if there's any Government Corruption stories that you know, or even discrepancies of our Political Overlords's treatments and our own.

You know, with all these hard economic times, I've been thinking that I should do what the army has trained me to do: "Embrace the Suck."Now, you might be wondering what that means; don't worry about that, if you are then it's above your pay grade. If it isn't above your pay grade and you're still uninformed then in simple layman's terms it is the military equivalent of "it is what it is" and the advice heard in prisons across the land "Don't resist, it only makes them like it more."So, how could a veteran of America's armed forces say...

Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky, Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die, One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie. One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

Mama and I like to find those books to read to 3B that expose him to the diversity that we find so beautiful in life. [snip] He's too young to have voiced his own gender and sexuality identity, so we make sure to read him books about boys, girls, and what lies between as well as books about being gay, straight, and what lies between--well, we would if we could find them, that is. [snip] I'm sure that this news comes as no surprise to parents who have already read The Fire Cat, but as I was just reading it...

Earlier today, President-Elect Obama was asked about the current Agriculture industry and how the current Depression will effect it. "Uh, well, you see, it has to do with, you know, um, capitalism." President Obama replied, "Capitalism and grains; that is why I am proposing a new Capital Grains tax of 46.2%, just like my plan to increase the current capital gains tax." Another reporter asked if that plan would cause food prices to increase and make things more difficult for the working American. "You know, I don't really care." President Obama replied, "You see the thought of people being able...

Imperialist America… that’s what a lot of media & educator types say. But do they ever stop to wonder what a real imperialistic America would be like? If I was the American Emperor, I would institute the following: 1. Abortion would be declared murder, and abortionists prosecuted as such. 2. Perjury, to convict the innocent would carry the penalty of the crime the innocent was accused of. a. If people conspired to frame someone for murder, and testified that way, even if he was found not-guilty, the accusers would face capital punishment. 3. Corruption of public officials would be a...

So, today I went and saw the new Batman [again] with a couple of friends. It struck me about how there are certain analogies to the characters within politics. For Example: The Joker In his own words, he describes himself as an agent of chaos [chance], which is the only fair thing in the world. He says that he makes no real plans, doing whatever ‘feels good’ at the moment, living [from day to day] only to throw the wrench in others’ plans. He is of course, lying. It is shown that his plans for Harvey Dent were to bring...
