The difference between Washington and here, Kelli, is that I wouldn't mind if you screwed me out of all my money.

America stands for liberty, but are we really? It isn't what the symbol represents, it's the reality that controls. Just as the country is really run for the wealthy and influential, the Tea Party, as a subsidiary of them, will not do anything to upset their masters. It would have been nice if they had remained independent and true to their cause, but it didn't happen. Originally Posted by CuteOldGuyAre we indeed?

What don't I understand by wanting us to get back to a constitutional representative republic wherein basic rights are unalienable and where government cannot suspend them? Where is my understanding lacking? Because I don't like the two party system, and won't run with the Republicans? Bullshit. The two party system is a tradition, not in the Constitution. It can and must be disbanded in order to restore liberty.
You are the one lacking understanding, my friend. Originally Posted by CuteOldGuy
