    The benefit of them getting rid of the Constitution and doing what ever they want should be that we dont have to worry about these sorts of things.
    This illegal illegitimate regime that runs America is at fault...not me.... they do not represent me and I have long objected to their crimes against humanity.

    Who wants to get rid of the Constitution? A foreign enemy or a domestic enemy?

    this threat gets used all the time to terrify the older people. I would call it economic terrorism, but you plebes don't fucking care if the government threatens the people
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    The Government Has Borrowed $1.7 Trillion From The Social Security Trust Fund. The government has borrowed the total value of the Trust Fund to pay for other government spending.

    Exactly my point which you blew off with your rant about how the Republicans take no responsibility and everything is the fucking Democrats fault.

    Yep, it was that Socialist pig LBJ and the greedy Democrats that destroyed the SS lockbox and merged SS money with the general funds.

    I'm so glad you posted that.

    Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.

    D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.

    Are you planning to shoot up your retirement home, pup? I hear they are full of liberals. All those do-gooders caring for bitter old farts like you.

    No conservative would ever work in a charity, a shelter or a old folks home. They're all liberals.

    In the case of Social Security, it is the Democrat's fault. LBJ looted the trust fund to pay for his massively failed "Great Society" and "Model Cities" programs. Ever since, Congress has used Social Security as a slush fund to pay for their pet projects. That's the only reason there isn't money in the fund to pay out to people. Instead, it is now a pay-as-you-go program and running out of money.

    That was initially and entirely the Democrats fault. Now both parties do it, but the lion's share of the blame goes to Democrats and LBJ.

    Terry, LBJ is not only dead, but hasn't been President since 1968. That's well over 50 years ago. How many Republican Presidents and Congresses have we had since then?

    You're free to blame dead Democrats all you like along with legislation from over half a century ago. I'm free to say you look both silly and desperate doing it.

    I wonder how many people who depend on government entitlements or whose parents depend on them
    nonetheless voted for Republican congressmen.

    The abject stupidity that intellectually cripples so many Americans today
    makes it completely impossible
    to have any faith in the future of this republic.

    With partition, we could let the red states go down by themselves.
    Without it, the whole thing goes down, and relatively soon.
