Yet, a rank Congress, a dishonest President, and the revisionist judges are only part of the problem. Yes, throw them out! But how? Corruption is at the State level, too, (shock :eek: ), and it's aggravating when the elections are rigged. In Arkansas, I can tell you stories of payoffs and corruption that would curl your hair. Our beloved Secretary of State, the disHon. Charlie Daniels, who is sworn to uphold fair and honest elections, publically said that their was so much ballot corruption in Arkansas' 2004 election cycle, that he wasn't going to worry about it. There was just too much of it to deal with. Unbelievable!
Would we ever see another secession attempt?? I mean...I think it's getting to that point. This country is SO divided on the issues, that I see it imploding. The right & left don't get along, nor should they! The left (extreme left, generally speaking) doesn't believe in absolute truth. Their motto is basically "Live & let live". The right (again, generally speaking) actually believe in absolute truth & consequences. How can there ever be compromises?? You're talking about groups of people with philosophically different worldviews that do not allow for compromise. So....what to do?
