    It's truly amazing that the 40 or 50 people who regularly post in this forum think they represent ANYTHING other than themselves. People who post 5,000 - 30,000 times in
    a political blog ARE NOT normal (yes, I include myself). To pretend the vast majority of Americans are going to follow YOU into civil war over the petty ass bullcrap
    you argue about everyday is ludicrous. Get ahold of yourselves. People who spend more than a few minutes a week posting on the internet do not represent
    the average American. They're abnormal.

    It's not a reflection of healthy personality to spend hours arguing with the same people about the same things and expecting any different conclusions.

    Those who are traitors need to realize their mistake so they can become Americans again, and those who are not need to be ready, physically and psychologically, to defend themselves against those who are.
    No doubt the Russkis, the Chicoms and the Islamists will find that option very reasonable indeed.
    Who the hell do you think you're kidding?
    Perhaps you can explain what induced the Founders to buy into said "mythology".
    And you figure that how, exactly?
    That's one way of looking at it. Here's another: those who divorce for light and transient reasons, especially when children are involved, can be expected to be more miserable after their "emancipation" than they were to begin with.

    As would about 25% of Americans.

    If you need me to explain the distinction between a country and a political system, I'd be happy to do so.

    Mostly economic self-interest. This can be easily confirmed by Charles Beard's An Economic Interpretation of the Constitution of the United States. To wit:

    We can start with the fact that the present union didn't exist between 1776 and 1788.

    Except these aren't light and transient reasons. The various factions in America harbor irreconcilable differences with one another, differences that manifest themselves as hatred, distrust, obstructionism and periodic violence.

    If the liberal dogma is allowed to prevail, then yes, we are doomed.

    Not that I'm disagreeing with you, but it's worth noting that most wars are fought by a relatively small amount of extremists. So do not assume that because most Americans are apathetic that it somehow precludes the possibility of another major war between Americans. Even if 0.5% of the population were waging war against each other, it would be one of the biggest wars in history.

    The AofC was a miserable failure the first time around. Not seen anything that would alter that from happening again.

    Only if you consider a bloody war to be a hallmark of "success".

    The US is not an empire..


    1. Empire | Define Empire at Dictionary.com

      www.dictionary.com/browse/empire
      Empire definition, a group of nations or peoples ruled over by an emperor, empress, or other powerful sovereign or government: usually a territory of greater extent than a kingdom, as the former British Empire, French Empire, Russian Empire, Byzantine Empire, or Roman Empire.

    Wrong!

    They kept SPLITTING up the state off the ballot. That has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with secession FROM the United States.

    Margot, stay on task.....you are all over the board with your derangement. I simply provided that your wisdom does not have a good track record. As far as EPA goes, have you seen the track record here in Colorado and polluting rivers and tributaries?

    Your government womb is toxic.

    Ironic given your worm's eye view of the CA Supreme Court.

    http://abc7news.com/politics/bay-ar...t-california-in-3-not-moving-forward/3785557/

    It is patently obvious that this is nothing but a nefarious POLITICAL PLOY to give the Republicans two additional states in the Senate and negate California's EC votes.
