If you look close, the government acts just like a huge portion of families in the way they handle finances.. Borrow on credit to appear rich, and don't forget, thus "powerful", in order to satisfy some insane perception of how someone else may or may not percieve you as if what other people think is more important than what actually is. How ironic... What came first, the chicken or the egg? Hahahahaha Don't "they" know how stupid that is? It can barely be put in words that make sense it's so stupid... Sounds like a tongue twister.. Hahahaha

What's wrong is the federal government is a black hole for tax dollars and corrupt as hell and need to become a lean, mean, fighting machine of honest, fair, "unpowerful" servents of the people of this country. I don't like that our country is for sale to the highest bidder.. Kinda scarey actually. Most taxes should go to the state where we can keep our eye on it a little better and actually use it for it's intended purpose.. Plus, who says what education is best for every kid in America? Economics vary by region and what is an education but to be a productive member of society. People closer to the issue are fully capable of deciding whats best for their children, not some welfare case in Washington... Plus, I don't want individuals in the federal government to do all my thinking for me, I like to live too...

These were listed on Wikapedia which says that it only discusses things that are confirmable through documentation or almost universally agreed upon facts.. Pretty cool stuff. Notice the one in red? Hahahahahaha... Perhaps next time you wanna judge France, you'll think again.. Hahahahaha Oh yeah, don't forget to thank John Hanson for his service to this once great nation this Thanksgiving when you feast.... Among the accomplishments of Hanson's presidency of Congress: Delivered the official Thanks of Congress to George Washington for his victory at Yorktown Commended Gen. Lafayette and thanked France for his services Pressed states to keep up their commitments to sending delegates to Congress, which was often short of a quorum Passed legislation for the Bank of North America, the first central bank Appointed a Secretary of the United States to assist in correspondence and record-keeping Granted Gen. Washington broad powers to negotiate prisoner exchanges with Britain; Washington immediately worked out a trade of Gen. Cornwallis for Henry Laurens, the first president of the Continental Congress Established the United States Mint Established the predecessor agency of the State Department Proclaimed the first national Thanksgiving holiday Created the position of Chairman of Congress, a predecessor of the vice-presidency Negotiated a peace treaty with Britain Settled a dispute between Connecticut and Pennsylvania, with Hanson acting as an equivalent of Chief Justice Called for the first national census Hey Teach, how about "we" revive the anti-federalist party and run you for prez? Hahahahaha.. Anyone got 500,000,000 dollars "we" can borrow for playing the campaign game? Not enough time before next years election to raise that kinda money... and I don't like debt... Nor do I like asking people for handouts and in return serve their selfish interests.. Whats a patriot to do?

Holy crap.. what a sad state of affairs that is the public education system.. where to start? Prolly removing the federal government and their stinking mandates from the picture completely along with finding a sensible way to fund it instead of ever increasing property taxes. From wikapedia... In the United States, all powers which are not assigned to the federal government by the U.S. Constitution are reserved to the people or individual states. Since the federal Constitution does not mention education, and the U.S. Supreme Court has held conclusively there is no federal Constitutional right to an education, public education has always been under the general control of the individual states. The steadily expanding role of the federal government in public education since the late nineteenth century has recently become a subject of heated debate, as many states (and more than a few Senators and members of Congress) perceive the U.S. Government to be overstepping its constitutional bounds.

Wouldn't bother me to see some raggedy suit wearing, limo losing mother f cker begging on the street... Might even throw em a bone from the fruits of my labor.... If they're lucky and they tell the truth... Course, I'd never give them cash... I know alls they'd do is blow it on a new toupee and a dry cleaning in the hopes of regaining they're (sic) "power"... Hahahahahahaha Does anyone here truly believe they actually own anything that can't be taken away by the federal government, including your life? Does that sound great?

If you haven't noticed TJ, we have quite the socialist government and a nation of citizens who now expect the government to provide for them at every turn. Not one thing in this world should need to be subsidized by anything. You do it because it's right, not because you have to for fear of retribution by control phreaks... and if you think what we got is great, you're an idiot The worst welfare recipients in this country wear suits, ride in limo's and make laws to keep us blind and slaving on their behalf...

No sh t, teach.

Here's someone who made America great... My family tree traces directly to him on my fathers side. One thing it doesn't mention, he died at the plantation of his nephew in Maryland.. Wonder if he had any slaves. I'd like to believe not, but most likely did... I don't judge an individual by their mistakes... He did a lot more good than bad in this world and I'm quite proud of my heritage and legacy.. But telling the truth is never wrong and I'm sure my family tree would agree.. My great grandpa, my grandpa, and my father couldn't lie even if they wanted to no matter how big and small... They were smarter than that, and luckily, so am I. John Hanson, American Patriot and First President of the United States (1715-1783) He was the heir of one of the greatest family traditions in the colonies and became the patriarch of a long line of American patriots – his great-grandfather died at Lutzen beside the great King Gustavus Aldophus of Sweden; his grandfather was one of the founders of New Sweden along the Delaware River in Maryland; one of his nephews was the military secretary to George Washington; another was a signer of the Declaration; still another was a signer of the Constitution; yet another was Governor of Maryland during the Revolution; and still another was a member of the first Congress; two sons were killed in action with the Continental Army; a grandson served as a member of Congress under the new Constitution; and another grandson was a Maryland Senator. Thus, even if Hanson had not served as President himself, he would have greatly contributed to the life of the nation through his ancestry and progeny. As a youngster he began a self-guided reading of classics and rather quickly became an acknowledged expert in the juridicalism of Anselm and the practical philosophy of Seneca – both of which were influential in the development of the political philosophy of the great leaders of the Reformation. It was based upon these legal and theological studies that the young planter – his farm, Mulberry Grove was just across the Potomac from Mount Vernon – began to espouse the cause of the patriots. In 1775 he was elected to the Provincial Legislature of Maryland. Then in 1777, he became a member of Congress where he distinguished himself as a brilliant administrator. Thus, he was elected President in 1781. Was John Hanson the first President of the United States? The new country was actually formed on March 1, 1781 with the adoption of The Articles of Confederation. This document was actually proposed on June 11, 1776, but not agreed upon by Congress until November 15, 1777. Maryland refused to sign this document until Virginia and New York ceded their western lands (Maryland was afraid that these states would gain too much power in the new government from such large amounts of land). Once the signing took place in 1781, a President was needed to run the country. John Hanson was chosen unanimously by Congress (which included George Washington). In fact, all the other potential candidates refused to run against him, as he was a major player in the Revolution and an extremely influential member of Congress. As the first President, Hanson had quite the shoes to fill. No one had ever been President and the role was poorly defined. His actions in office would set precedent for all future Presidents. He took office just as the Revolutionary War ended. Almost immediately, the troops demanded to be paid. As would be expected after any long war, there were no funds to meet the salaries. As a result, the soldiers threatened to overthrow the new government and put Washington on the throne as a monarch. All the members of Congress ran for their lives, leaving Hanson running the government. He somehow managed to calm the troops and hold the country together. If he had failed, the government would have fallen almost immediately and everyone would have been bowing to King Washington. Hanson, as President, ordered all foreign troops off American soil, as well as the removal of all foreign flags. This was quite a feat, considering the fact that so many European countries had a stake in the United States since the days following Columbus. Hanson established the Great Seal of the United States, which all Presidents have since been required to use on all official documents. President Hanson also established the first Treasury Department, the first Secretary of War, and the first Foreign Affairs Department. Lastly, he declared that the fourth Thursday of every November was to be Thanksgiving Day, which is still true today. The Articles of Confederation only allowed a President to serve a one-year term during any three-year period, so Hanson actually accomplished quite a bit in such little time. He served in that office from November 5, 1781 until November 3, 1782. He was the first President to serve a full term after the full ratification of the Articles of Confederation – and like so many of the Southern and New England Founders, he was strongly opposed to the Constitution when it was first discussed. He remained a confirmed anti-federalist until his untimely death. Six other presidents were elected after him - Elias Boudinot (1783), Thomas Mifflin (1784), Richard Henry Lee (1785), Nathan Gorman (1786), Arthur St. Clair (1787), and Cyrus Griffin (1788) - all prior to Washington taking office. Why don't we ever hear about the first seven Presidents of the United States? It's quite simple - The Articles of Confederation didn't work well. The individual states had too much power and nothing could be agreed upon. A new doctrine needed to be written - something we know as the Constitution. George Washington was definitely not the first President of the United States. He was the first President of the United States under the Constitution we follow today. And the first seven Presidents are forgotten in history. http://www.marshallhall.org/hanson.html Here's wikapedia's profile... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Hanson Wikapedia also has a bunch of myths about him as well.. One was that he was a black man and the decendent of a slave..... hahahahahaha Interesting.. cites the possibilty that he decended from an indentured servant who worked his way out of debt, which was quite common at that time... certainly wasn't a black man.. But possibly decended from a slave.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Hanson_%28myths%29 What I do know, is he always told the truth to the best of his ability.. it's in the genes.

Yes, he does have a twisted view.. and is quite ignorant of what he speaks of. However, rather than reign it in, let the light shine....

Yes, the slave owners who sat on the porch sipping lemonade, who made the country great, aren't lazy, the black men who worked the cotton fields 16 hours a day for no pay at the end of a whip were lazy... You got some wild fantasies running through the noggin there bud... You are what you hate and you and your ideas of who made what great are a blight to humanity and all that is good and pure in the world.... The truth is the truth no matter what you say and how many people say it... And for your sake, you better hope your religious beliefs are as real as your historical fantasies. Bet you hate young, rich, black rappers too.. How dare they.

I bet this is a hot topic in the Al Qaida caverns...

If we close our eyes and think good thoughts, it doesn't exist.

Fight the good fight Triumph The days grow shorter and the nights are getting long Feels like we're running out of time Every day it seems much harder tellin' right from wrong You got to read between the lines Don't get discouraged, don't be afraid, we can Make it through another day Make it worth the price we pay The Good Book says it's better to give than to receive I do my best to do my part Nothin' in my pockets I got nothin' up my sleeve I keep my magic in my heart Keep up your spirit, keep up your faith, baby I am counting on you You know what you've got to do CHORUS: Fight the good fight every moment Every minute every day Fight the good fight every moment It's your only way All your life you've been waiting for your chance Where you'll fit into the plan But you're the master of your own destiny So give and take the best that you can You think a little more money will buy your soul some rest You'd better think of something else instead You're so afraid of being honest with yourself You'd better take a look inside your head Nothing is easy, nothing good is free But I can tell you where to start Take a look inside your heart There's an answer in your heart

Hows everything Smutt? Is it getting better for you?

My mistake, seems violence is ingrained in our culture... Good thing we developed zombie drugs...

Hahahahaha.. no grudge.. Anyone can say anything they want to me. Someone could stab me and I'd forgive them before the knife is pulled out... Sometimes people don't know what they believe til their words are given back to them in a new light... Take it as an attack, take it as advice, take it as it comes... I'm not responsible for anyone but me.. Although, if you find yourself getting pissed at something I say, take it to the mirror. You'll soon notice bro man, with me, you'll get what you give. On a side note, Hugo calling me a dumbass and challenging me my first day at TJ was the best thing that ever happened to me.. Attack? Hell no... I owe the guy my life. It's all in the perspective bro... Were you born to resist or be abused? ~ Foo Fighters If you can't defend your beliefs all by your lonesome even if every other human on the planet says otherwise and fail to resist everything but logic, your beliefs aint worth a damn... And if you resist logic because you're afraid of being wrong, you're a dumbass. ~ wez You got a good saying on your profile about finding the truth there bro man... Can you resist the shut up tactics like anger, threats, and violence to find it like Jesus did or would you buckle like a lawn chair in a tornado like his buddy, Peter? As Jesus hung on the cross, he begged forgivness for his murderers... All he had to do was lie to be set free... Apparently his beliefs and the truth were more important than His life itself.. All we have is the truth, without it, we have no life. Here's some good truth bro.. whatever is ok for you to do to another human being, is ok for every other human being to do to you. Here's some more truth bro... when you get be 38, don't go thinking you can eat a piece of cherry pie 1/2 hour before you fall asleep and not wake up at 3 am with wrenching gut pains...

Nope, I was allowed to be a kid... ritalin and ADD wasn't even invented when I was disrupting classes in school... I put myself on marijuana at 16 and contemplated the universe... I graduated H.S. in '87.. prolly about the time you were born and put on Ritilin, brotherboy... Hahahahaha No one ever shot up schools when I was a kid... or mass drugged their children..

I think there's a pill for that too... Or we could just elect Bleachy president...Toss in a little sex ed ala eddo for the remaining 10% and we're good to go... Hahahahahahahahaha

Yes, youthful energy is now ADD and asking questions about f ucked up sh t is antisocial disorder... No need to worry, we got drugs to make em obediant..

Bleachy is a dumbass and should become soilent green or work til death.

That's good to know.. We'll be sure to line your pine box with your security and bury you in an affluent cemetary.... And your tombstone can read.. Here lies vulture..."Always paid attention, never wasted his resources, or squandered an opportunity to take advantage and build self worth and security upon the suffering of others"..R.I.P.

I Can See Clearly Now Johnny Nash I can see clearly now, the rain is gone, I can see all obstacles in my way Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind It?s gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright) Sun-Shiny day.

He had power and money and according to TJ, we should admire him and believe every word he and his administrators of justice and economics said, or else. Hahahahahahaha Hitler was a dumbass... There I go changing the subject from apples to oranges again hoping no one will notice.. eh, tough guy? Hahahahahahaha Tough guys are dumbasses
