As for that English-torturing son of an SS officer, as well as the legislature of ANY state that would allow for the looting of their own citizens to provide social services for people illegally in this country (as well as their children, who ARE NOT U.S. citizens), I suggest the revival of the necktie party. If the Guvahnator is so g**-damned worried about the fiscal crisis in California, then why doesn't he set about booting every illegal out of that state, after having them robbed of every asset they own, in order to defray expenses? Why the hell aren't the people of that state telling the legislature that if they don't cut off social services for these people, something else will get cut off, and not just their salaries?

As for the comment about the Republicans being responsible for the mess this country is in, remember that Bush has NEVER been legitimately elected president of this country. That means the real blame goes to these insidious electronic voting machines. Any election official in this country that would certify these diabolical election-theft devices, when any first-semester programmer can be trained to steal an election on them in 20 minutes, and they aren't even allowed to view the source code, and they don't even produce a paper trail in case of doubt after the votes have been flipped any way the controllers want, should be hanged and left for the crows. Diebold (which recently changed its name to Premier Election Solutions -- you couldn't make this up) makes ATMs that are used by banks all across the country, and spit out a receipt that tells you exactly what happened, and they almost never make errors.

How stupid would a person have to be in order to think that it's just some unfortunate manufacturing defect that cause this same company's voting machines to continually miscount votes? Every primary thus far has shown ridiculous discrepancies between hand-counted votes and machine-counted votes.

Wherever the Founders are today, they probably tell each other they shouldn't have bothered.

With all due respect, highway building is a subsidy for the Big Box retailers (subsidizing transaction costs.)

We heartless paleos, either worshiping the marketplace as we are said to do, or contra, representing an interest for the small town, as we are want to do, cannot stand for that.

I don't expect you to change your mind, but at some point, you have to acknowledge that it is the nationalist who isn't making any sense, and his defense of the common man, contradictory.

That is all probably true. I must confess, I am partial to conservative, economic nationalist Democrats. But yea, pretty much no one in the Senate has an untarnished record. Thats because its notoriously "Fortune 500 occupied territory."

I will, however, agree that Byrd has a good record on opposing illegal immigration and opposing the war. However, in my estimation, this is based less on principle and more on his wanting to stay in office until he is 100 y/o. He would do or say anything to stay in power, witness his transformation from staunch segregationalist to the "conscience of the Senate."

But I was mostly judging those guys on their voting records. They are most definitely not globalists, being staunchly opposed to illegal immigration and high-levels of legal immigration, as well as our foolish trade policies. Byrd and Hollings were also outspoken in their opposition to the Iraq War from the get go.

You're absolutely right. Outside of Ron Paul and one or two other Republicans, the only decent men we've had in Congress in recent years have been Democrats, like Senators Hollings, Byrd, Dorgan and Congressman Taylor of Mississippi.

I don't remember it being the Democrats.

Come on, everyone, let's just say it. The Republicans have to take responsibility for putting the US into its worst state in its history.
