Say Pete, you need to watch using terms from the founders, you may be taken for a constitutionalist.

That kind of shit will get you on the SPLC's widely distributed terrorist watch list...along with gun owners, Ron Paul supporters, ex-military personnel, Sons of Confederate Veterans (only two I know personally are liberal Democrat attorneys), Christians, etc, etc.......

You know, right wing terrorists....probably better than 50% of the population.

Of course they did. They didn't want to be labelled a tratior in the aftermath of that disaster.

P.S., I'm bad with initials. What is SPLC?

Chas,

I get the feeling from your overall body of work here, that you would be quite comfortable with Ron Paul. I have to admit that he is an engaging and sincere sounding fellow. The biggest problem with him is that by the time his policies got compromised to death we wouldn't ever have a chance to see if they work.

Regards,

D-Ray

Ron Paul is an interesting sort. Don't really know too much about him other than he's been wanting to audit (and eliminate) the Federal Reserve. I also think he would like to return the US currency to the gold, or some kind of, standard.

Fat chance of that happening, huh?

And I think that he was one of the few who voted against the Patriot Act, because he didn't feel is passed Constitutional muster. I may be wrong on this, but I don't think so.

The last of the dinosaurs...a statesman who will stand on Constitutional principles.

I admire him for this. But being a realist, I recognize that those days are over.

It the brave new world. Personally, I kind of liked chickenshit old world better, but who asked me, huh????

Yes, and without reading it. They were all afraid of being accused of being "weak on terror". I haven't forgotten and I haven't forgiven them.

Now that they've had a chance to read it, however, I wish they'd do the right thing and get rid of the damned thing.

They all like it. They just use it as a bludgeon to beat one another in the head with when the dog and pony show comes around every couple of years.

So, you're saying NY is an "Empire of Reason"?
