Quoting: Anonymous Coward 61806799 No doubt the American colonials exemplified guerrilla style tactics against a clunky British force with the inability to adapt. The British responded by slaughtering captives, who the hell would allow themselves to get captured if they knew what would happen? They also burnt down entire buildings used for sniper fire in the loyalist town of Norfolk Virginia... so what did the American snipers do? Burnt down the rest of the town and blamed it on the British... two birds with one stone. A large loyalist town off the map and a great propaganda piece. The original false flag attack? What is old is new again. lol yup! Wouldn't have worked though if the British didn't start burning down the buildings in the first place. I often wonder, if I had been born in this time period, would I have been a loyalist or a patriot? I would love to think patriot, but sometimes, I am not so sure. What information would I have had access to? What lot would I have been given? Guess I never will really know. I would love to think I would have been born with the disposition of Jefferson, but, sometimes I think not. That's an interesting thought. Jefferson was a complete lunatic for his times, although few people nowadays understand it. I toured the Rotunda a few years ago, I didn't know that he created the modern university system. At the time, it would be the equivalent of abolishing the entire university system. Imagine if anyone advocated that. Instant crazy. The most radical thing Jefferson really did was establish the public school system. A secular system in fact (much like he later established with the University of Virginia), meant to be completely free for 3 years, any subsequent year after three requiring family contribution. While his initial bill was not passed, but a different version some years later, the curriculum at his public schools was that of a secular Renaissance man stressing the classics: "SECT. XIII. IN these grammar schools shall be taught the Latin and Greek languages, English grammar, geography, and the higher part of numerical arithmetick, to wit, vulgar and decimal fractions, and the extraction of the square and cube roots." [link to edweb.sdsu.edu] And if you read the preamble to it, it is quite egalitarian (although the bill excludes slaves directly). This position of Jefferson's is quite antithetical to how a minority of people like to portray him. |

Anyway, his idea of Congressmen and women having a regular job and coming to Washington DC on a part time basis seems more and more appealing. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 66742985 If I remember my college history classes, didn't the founders want it that way anyway? Yup. Completely right. Congressman was a part time job with a small stipend to compensate them for only part of the year in Washington. I am not a historian, so sadly I would not be able to tell you how exactly our congress voted themselves into full time positions with such grotesque salaries and benefits. I have tried looking up average worker pay of the time periods in the US to compare to these historical pay scales of congress, but I could find anything going that far back. It has to be out there somewhere. The most interesting thing I found was actually on the taxes of the colonies pre revolution. Apparently we had the lowest fucking taxes in the entire Western world! And we still went to war over it! lol. History of congressional salaries: [link to en.wikipedia.org] |

Quoting: filth Kinda sad that most americans are terrified of saying the wrong thing on the internet about our traitorous politicians.....for fear of being visited by alphabet agencies who spy on us, tax our alcohol and tobacco, enforce silly gun laws, etc. Shows how far we've fallen since 1776. Just saying. No country on this fucking earth has greater freedom of speech than the United States. There are very few, very few, criminal things you can say in order to allow for society to exist. You cannot threaten people with death, and while in arguments said out of anger, it is usually not taken seriously, posting a desire to kill a federal official online saw it can exist for eternity and easily be shown to the authorities, is certainly a way for it to be taken seriously... Also, believe it or not, America has the least corrupt officials in the world, hard to believe, I know. You are limited in your ability to stifle corruption and public policy (those gun laws and taxes you allude to) through political engagement and voting. Planning to and threatening to kill government officials is most certainly NOT the way to go about it. Not even the founders of the United States did this. It was only once the British starting killing and jailing civil protesters that war commenced. I'm not saying it was wise for that guy to post something like that. Certainly, it was absolutely foolish. My point seems to have escaped you. I appreciate that you're quite the flag waver....maybe at a military base in Germany...or just a proxy? Anyway, what data do you have to conclude our politicians are the least corrupt? I've traveled extensively internationally and I seriously disagree with that claim. Voting? Seriously? Remind me how well that works when 2 years from now the sheep are choosing between hillary or Warren and Christie or jeb bush (or some other ridiculous lose-lose combination of traitors). Again, you seem to have entirely missed my point. Or maybe you're just trying to bait me into saying something. Regardless, like I said, foolish to post something like that. Btw, the federal government has been killing and jailing innocent patriotic citizens for quite some time. I assume you supported the 'patriot act' and ndaa? Believe the 9/11 'official story'?  No I can't stand bush fucking Jr. so I most certainly do not support the patriot act nor do I support the continued bloated NDAA bills. However, I most certainly do believe the 911 official story. I am not trying to bait you into saying anything. I would rather you not say anything that would get you arrested. Having someone else locked up is that last thing I desire, as it is a burden on the state. Rips families apart producing a plethora of problems, costs money, hinders future ability to gain employment, cuts productivity by preventing someone from working, and most importantly it is the antithesis to freedom. So, no I believe the government should have very good fucking reasons to lock someone up and I don't believe possessing any drug meant for recreation (not for intent to kill) should be illegal much less some from plants that grow naturally. As far as voting, yes I am still a fan of it. Big time so, so much so you probably think I am a "sheep," because for me to support armed insurrection there would have to be a full blown communist takeover of the government with the dissolution of property rights etc. As far as the corruption claim. Thank you for calling me out on it. It is actually bullshit. I didn't think it was, as I heard years ago someone on a news program state it citing some study I am unaware of. I just now looked for it, and while these corruption studies are debated, I couldn't find one with the US ranking better than 17th. So thank you for calling me out on that bullshit claim because I learned something. I don't mean to spout misinformation but sometimes it happens as I am only human. Most of the corruption and war in this world is funded by the US.  |

User ID: 61914106 United States01/14/2015 05:54 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to news.yahoo.com] Quoting: Mountain Woman FROM LINK: "Hoyt advised that he had been fired from his job at Wetherington Country Club in West Chester, Ohio, and did not have time to put something in John Boehner's drink," the affidavit stated. Hoyt also told the officer he was Jesus Christ and was going to kill Boehner because the speaker was mean to him and was responsible for the Ebola outbreak, court papers said. You cant make this shit up, this and the race car driver thing. Anyone else feel like they are at the last bar open at night at closing time? Its getting crazy. Like all kinds of crazy coming out. There's always been a certain percentage of certifiable crazies around. But they didn't used to make headlines like this. A few decades ago, this non-crime would have been quietly investigated by federal authorities and then been treated as a private medical matter. Nutjobs have always fixated on politicians. It just didn't used to make headlines. I Support Our First Responders |
