Do you remember "No Taxation Without Representation?" Most Teawipes don't. They think the quote was, "No Taxation For Me If I Don't Like It."
Hey, how about your boyz Boosh and Chainey throwing everything they had at the crooks at Enron? (not) After all, those Enron guys only forced their employees to buy company stock as a source for retirement "income" and then proceeded to gut the stock, take the money for themselves and leave their employees without any retirement $ at all. Where was the "virtue" in your boyz' enforcement and why do they still have a pot to piss in? Originally Posted by JD BarleycornYou idiots can't have it both ways.

Hey IBS/OAB, stick to the subject, you deflecting Teawipe. Was "No Taxation Without Representation" a favorite slogan of pre-revolutionary Colonists or not? Hasn't it been perverted by you Teawipes to be "No Taxation For Me If I Don't Like It"? Of course it has.
You changing the subject never worked and still doesn't.
Your ignorance of history is profound, Randy4Andy. You are absolutely correct with regards to your own stupidity. Originally Posted by I B Hankering

You sound like some Hitler youth.I believe it is time for a velvet revolution; a return of power to the state legislatures ! A massive downsizing of the federal bureaucracy. That may lead to a civil war, or it might not. I suspect the hard left won't go down softly !
Details Watson, how about details. Do you believe it is time for another Civil War? So my question to you is wtf are you going to do, the other side does not care for your government intrusion into their lives on say abortion. Originally Posted by WTF

And the abortion issue can be settled easily by returning the decision back to the states. Originally Posted by Whirlaway

Of course it has.You're the ignorant sotted fool in the room, Randy4Andy, because what you deem as a 'perversion' of the slogan is actually a very correct interpretation of the slogan -- even in 1774.

"Resolved, 4. That the foundation of English liberty, and of all free government, is a right in the people to participate in their legislative council: and as the English colonists are not represented, and from their local and other circumstances, cannot properly be represented in the British parliament, they are entitled to a free and exclusive power of legislation in their several provincial legislatures, where their right of representation can alone be preserved, in all cases of taxation and internal polity, subject only to the negative of their sovereign, in such manner as has been heretofore used and accustomed: But, from the necessity of the case, and a regard to the mutual interest of both countries, we cheerfully consent to the operation of such acts of the British parliament, as are bonfide, restrained to the regulation of our external commerce, for the purpose of securing the commercial advantages of the whole empire to the mother country, and the commercial benefits of its respective members; excluding every idea of taxation internal or external, for raising a revenue on the subjects, in America, without their consent."
