Another heroic battle that helped develop this greatest country, The United States Of America. The same country that has sent incalcuable supplies and medical personnel to Haiti in a superb humanitarian effort to save lives. The only other country with this level of heart and soul has (so far) been Isreal.
As usual every two bit socialist dictatorship like Venezuala, Cuba and some South American countries have failed to respond. I am appalled that our European allies contributed in minimal fashion. Only the USA and Israel seem to care enough to do the right humanitarian thing here. Pray we stop our socialist path and become the desensitized nation that others have become.
As a native South Carolinian, I appreciate Mike bringing the Battle of Cowpens to our attention. However, I believe the year of this battle was 1781 rather than 1791.
I do believe you are correct…
When George Washington's critics were calling on him to be replaced, because people like Morgan were trying to stop loyalist farmers from supplying the British, Morgan was noted to quip "Party matters have no place in a Republic".
Spot on he was some 230 years ago…
"Scott heard around the world" A new take on an old phrase.
I am thankful to Scott Brown for the battle he is waging in Massachussetts. He has given Conservatives hope again. It would have been difficult to dream up a better candidate against Coakley. I sincerely hope he prevails and it's not like Doug Hoffman, where all the Right blogs were convinced he would win and it didn't happen. This race is so important not just for Massachussetts, but for the message it would send to Pelosi, Reid, and Obama, the most mendacious and power-tripping trio ever to rule over Washington. And make no mistake, that is all Obamacare is to them, an assertion of their power and abilities to bend people to their will. They have no awareness beyond their narrow determination to "win." It's all gamesmanship to them, that's why what's actually in the bill matters little to them. It is my fervent hope that in this case they will lose.
" It was the turning point in retaking South Carolina from the British."
Just as this Tuesday will be a turning point in retaking America from the current cabal of conspiratorial cannines who have hijacked our Nation.
Welcome to the Revolution.
""We are just days away from fundamentally changing America as we know it"
~ Barrack Hussein Obama ~
November 2008
I finally get it. I didn't understand that he was referring to US, and it will happen this coming Tuesday. I'm finally catching on to that hopey changey thingey now.
Tuesday, I hope we are going to get some change we ALL can believe in……………
Ah, give them the benefit of the doubt.
Perhaps they couldn't find Haiti on the map?
I agree with everything you say, but if Pelosi, Reid, and Obama have not heard the people by now, they won't ever.
I went to school in S.C. and South Carolina History was a required subject! Should be that way in every state!!
That's just it Cowboy! Very few people really understood what that phrase actually meant…You can bet that 'all the people he surrounded himself with' knew exactly what he meant! The poor fools who voted for him thought that he meant changing Bush's policies, not CHANGING AMERICA into a socialist state!!
I just pray Scott Brown doesn't have any wicked surprises in his closet. If not, then I'd say that we need dozens more like him for the 2010 and 2012 elections.
Speaking of those poor fools who voted for him, I wonder where they are now? I can't seem to find anyone who voted for him. They have all vanished, like the Spotted Owl.
I did see a Volvo with an Obama "Hope" bumpersticker on it at a Starbucks last week. I couldn't resist slapping a new sticker over it. It said: "Coal Now."
I think many of us have become much more cynical in how we view any political candidate and are learning more and more about our duty to due diligence. However, in the real world, we are often faced with compromising and must decide between the lesser of evils. In the case of Massachusetts, it is very obvious Scott Brown is much less evil than the other choice. GO SCOTT
I hate to think of even the possibility that Scott Brown might
lose…He sure is putting up a great fight againt the misfit in
Massachusetts….If he should lose, it'll probrably be because
it was stolen from him..If the loss is a few points, it'll still be
a victory in a way, for a Republican to get close in a Massachusetts
election is surely a miracle….
Cowboy…. Just to twist the knife and add acid to LIB wounds… The dirty little secret that allowed the USA and Israel to financially and UNSELFISHLY contribute millions to Haiti is due to (drum roll)…………
CAPITALISTIC FREEDOM ! (anathema to Obama and scum leftists).
What would Paul Revere do, New England? As I understand it, he wasn't so big on tyranny..
IMO the voters of Massachusetts are about to deliver the Boy Wonder a hideous shock and reality check… one that's as desperately needed as it is long, long overdue… Go Scott!!!

Thanks for citing this great battle for freedom. The Battle of Cowpens had a great cast of grat Americans from Gem. Dan Morgan, Colonels Wm Washington & Colonel "Light Horse" Harry Lee (the Washington & Lees from VA) and the Militias who bravely fought ….some truly great patriots. There is a painting in the SC State house of Colonel Lee vs the hated 'No quarter' Lieutenant Colonel Banastre Tarleton, after Tarleton was trying to escape and Light Horse caught up with him….more here: http://www.britishbattles.com/battle-cowpens.htm
Of course we will have to find some instructors who are qualified to teach their respective state's history and that might be a huge challenge. Our public education system has been so dumbed down and liberalized, it will take time to change.
I feel fortunate to have had some very interesting teachers in my early education- one in particular was a state history buff who taught us about the American Revolution and the Civil War. He expressed things in such a vivid way, we could envision how the battles developed and the hardships suffered by both sides during the wars.
I am a believer in the fact that the LIBS really do not understand the wave coming on Tuesday. They are slowly getting a clue but perhaps too late. The ARROGANT assumption that Coakley would "walk" into the seat is the same premise that will defeat her!
I say: BROWN BY 6 POINTS !
I have a cousin and her husband who voted for the
jerk, and now I hear from her sister that both are
very unhappy with their pick….They are the type
that work, come home, read a few headlines in
the paper, or watch local news, went to bed
early, and the routine was the same everyday…They
just were'nt informed, and the little they got from the
media was lies or exaggerations about Bozo….I'm
sure they feel duped, by the great wizard OZbamo…
Shyster that he is!
– 1791 was a good year for Freedom —
Today, in 1791, Continental Troops defeat the British & eleven months later – Dec 15 th 1791 – the Bill Of Rights were added to the Constitution
Cowboy Logic
Did you really?
TheRightSide
Hope you are correct………Wait cross that out–Pray you are correct!
1781 not 91
Sure.
My three favorite bumperstickers are:
Obama Hope
The Nature Conservancy
The Sierra Club
My three favorites to cover them with, are:
Coal Now
American Energy for Americans
Log the Earth First, we'll get the other Planets later.
Those poor libs, they just don't have a sense of humor…………
Remember Hope and Change?
Think back to Bush and Rumsfield.
On Tuesday the Dahli Bama is gonna see Shock and Awe first hand. Up close and personal.
The five best things Wednesday morning, will be comments from:
Obama
Robert Gibbs
Nancy Pelosi
Harry Reid
and Martha Coakley……….
DEB- The Battle of Cowpens occurred almost 10 years (1781) before ratification of the Bill of Rights.
unfortunately my oldest voted for odumbo and still thinks he is doing great….I made a comment about something the other day and he quickly told me I was watching too much Fox News…trouble is the report I saw was not on Fox News…it was on a fringe media report….I'm about ready to disown him…
OMG… Had not even gotten that far yet….. You are SOOOOOOOO right ! Will be a series of CLASSIC SPINS !
dozens more? nah let's replace the entire congress with those like him….
My ancestors were at that battle. If they were alive today they would still be on the front lines fighting this new tyranny arising in Washington.
Col. John Thomas Jr. (The brother of my ancestor) stood along side Col. Roebuck as the devil Tarleton charged the patriots. We have new devils to fight now.
Col. John Thomas Sr., his wife, and sons gave dearly to help secure the freedoms we are now in a battle of ideas to retain.
Actually, it was one of TWO crushing defeats that the British suffered at roughly the same time. The other was Kings Mountain. This meant that 2 of the 3 British column's that were moving more or less parallel northward were beaten by Americans. At Kings Mountain, the Americans almost solely consisted of militia and was one of two battles where British forces were seriously defeated by militia (the othe was Lexington & Concord).
But there isn't enough time for trivia like the Revolution or the Civil War! After all it fills the public-school year just to cover the slave trade, the robber barons, the KKK, the greatness of Eugene Debs, the genocide of the Indians, and all the other crimes against humanity committed by the most oppressive tyranny in history!
Besides, those Revolutionary leaders were all wicked white male slaveowners and capitalists. Not a single unwed pregnant Latina lesbian among them….
We sure whupped the Redcoats' butts that day! Yay!
This is a good battle to remember when pondering the "well-regulated militia" phrase in the Second Amendment. At this battle, American commanders had to put their regular troops behind the militia, and give them orders to shoot any deserters — the militia was that bad. The Second Amendment is indeed not just about hunting, but it often is reduced to that and crime issues because it's harder to build up enthusiasm for the kind of "good regulation" that was intended. The last full-scale serious attempt at it in this country, AFAIK, was the push for universal military training by General John M. Palmer and others in the first half of the 20th Century. There were in-depth congressional hearings and everything; it almost passed, but after the "War To End All Wars," I guess not enough public support could be drummed up for it. The service branches grew up instead, and the Guard became something that could be federalized, none of which hurt us when WWII came around, but I often wonder how much more secure this country would be today if UMT had passed and we had ended up with something not identical to but akin to the Swiss model.
And thus the turning point of the war; it began the path that led Cornwallis to retreat into Virginia, to Yorktown and defeat.
Some historians have dubbed Cowpens the closest to tactical perfection in American military history. It could be argued that a less impetuous British commander than Butcher Ban wouldn't have fallen into the trap; but then Morgan designed his plan the way he did because he knew his enemy.
Don't get overeager, friends.
Anything less than 10% is within the margin of ACORN.
300 million against 545. I like the odds.
Obama lies 7 times in under 2 minutes….

1781, 1791… what does ten years matter when you have a good right with rant fired up.
The battles at Kings Mountain and Cowpens set up a dandy one at Guilford Courthouse where Gen. Nathaniel Greene and his boys stuck in there like they had tar on their heels (giving NC a nickname "The Tar Heels") and gave Cornwallis more of the same.
You just see a conspiracy everywhere you look, don't you Boh?
Here is the easiest prediction I've ever made… Regardless of whether they win or lose the MA election on Tuesday, Republicans will declare victory… maybe even a mandate.
Right. Just paranoia. After all, that fine upstanding group ACORN has
nothing to do with illegal activity or vote fraud, and Democrats never,
ever stuff ballot boxes.
YES, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE!!!
That's all right…
2010 is here…don't listen, don't remain in Congress…
Get 'em, Brown…!
The battlefield is worth a visit. It isn't far off the beaten track if one is traveling I-85 in North Carolina.
Actually, the only thing I want to hear from any of those simpletons you mentioned is, "…now is the time fore me to return to a private life…"
While they dial around the statist phone book looking for a lobbyist job…
1781! Not 1791!
Voter fraud is a partisan political tactic to depress voter turnout. You trot it out and dust it off every two years and yet there are few indictments and when there is a conviction it is usually some knucklehead that unintentionally broke a law. There has never been any evidence to support a voter fraud conspiracy.
The way Republicans win elections is to keep poor, non-white Democrats from voting. When the people turn out, Republicans lose. And when they lose they cry foul. Sad really…
You are rambling… use your words.
During my TEA Party "Meet and Greet" last night…
I acquainted myself with Steve Pearce, who is running to re-take the Congressional seat in NM 2 after losing a bid for the US Senate…and is as conservative as they come…
A very wise lady, (my mother), asked him an interesting question: "How could the upcoming Congress after the 2010 elections, reverse or roll back the ground lost on our freedoms due to the Health-Care bill?"
He had a BRILLIANT answer: "De-fund it." Two words…
The same tactics that statists use to eliminate Defense projects is applicable here…
I am asking EVERYONE to corner your candidates and ask one simple question of them…
"Will you vote to de-fund Health Care if it becomes law?"
See what answers you get…and make your choices accordingly…because this can be used against other trash that needs hauling out, too…
\”The way Republicans win elections is to keep poor, non-white Democrats
from voting.\”
Jesus Christ, who's the paranoid one?
Of course busing in hordes of SEIU goons has a completely innocent
explanation, right? I'm sure you thing DeGregoire in Washington and
Franken in Minnesota won cleanly, too. And of course elections in Chicago
are always pure as the driven snow….
It seems archlib Ed Schultz disagrees with you- here he is openly calling
on Mass Dems to \”cheat\”- his word- to elect Coakley: \”If I lived in
Massachusetts, I'd try to vote ten times. Yeah that's right, I'd cheat to
keep these bastards out. I would.\”
The fact is, Republicans win elections because not all voters are
pinheads, pinkos and spongers, the core DemonRat constituencies.
Yeah, I'll be around. Win or lose in MA on Tuesday the struggle never ends. We don't get universal health care this year we will be back next year… and the year after that.
And that is your real problem. We only have to win once, but you have to win every year. Eventually you lose.
Haiti is a terrible tragedy and I hope everyone will contribute to the relief effort. You can send a quick $10 to the Red Cross from your cell phone by texting the work "Haiti" to 90999. When they respond, confirm your donation by texting "Yes". Your contribution will be added to your phone bill.
With all due respect to the author of this piece. The sige of Yorktown ended october 19th 1781 wich won the rebellion for the U.S. The battle for cowpens was january 17th of 1781. I am not an expert but i like This period of our history. The american revolution is one of the greatest underdog stories ever. I hope it can be repeated January 19th 2010.
Sure. Do you think the Dallas Cowboys, previously REGISTERED to vote in Nevada (in proxy I guess) will VOTE in Massachussetts on tuesday?
Ed "Fatass" Schultz of MSNBC said he would "vote ten times if it would help to beat that bastard".
ACORN is more than deserving of a RICO investigation; perhaps AFTER this criminal administration is chased from office in 2012.
And we will continue the fight, because we know the consequences. People like you don't – you don't care about anything except imposing your will on everyone else. You can't be wrong – you're better, smarter and feel more than we, who you consider the unknowing, uncaring, uneducated masses. When misfortune or disaster happens because of your misguided policies and mandates, you blame everybody but yourselves. And that's why we will always be there to oppose you. Feel free to be driven by your feelings and emotions, while we are guided by our logic and common sense.
Good Luck and God Speed retaking New Mexico from the Santa Fe style kooky liberals. As a West Texan it's embarrassing watching New Mexico become a mini-California "blue state". We could always bank on Sen. Pete D. to keep some semblence of sanity in the "Land of Encampment".
Did Dallas Cowboys vote in Nevada? If they did it didn't make the news.
As for Ed Schultz, that was a stupid thing to say. He should learn to make his point without turning to political hyperbole. Leave all that to Rush…
You forgot "Preserve Wildlife – throw a party!"
Or "Preserve Wildlife" – in a nice brine or in a freezer.
And lets not forget that Philadelphia (where the Black Panthers stood guard at the polling places with weapons) routinely turns out 105% of the vote – overwhelmingly Dimocrat.
Well, Jamesb, we had only one problem…
Pete was starting to go over to the Dark Side…
When you get into his voting record, you can see over time how his votes started drifting leftward slowly…
After he retired, he moved to Washington DC full time as a lobbyist…
I really do believe the system is corrosive over time…and it looks like it finally got Pete…
You are starting to believe your own talking points.
You underestimate the left when you assume we are not just as committed to our beliefs as yourself. And it has nothing to do with imposing our beliefs on you. In a democracy the agenda is set by majority rule, so all you need to do is win an election.
The Cowboys thing was one of ACORN's more outrageous voter sign up stunts when the officials in Nevada started looking at the voter reg. forms. Pretty crazy. Silly really. They were paying 'em
Schultz obviously let his misguided "enthusiasm" get the best of hin, but it was illustrative of how desperate the hard cores see this thing.
I didn't know where he wound up. Thanks. a pox on both their houses Rep and Dem, when they sell out.
These old pols go to Washington and GET RICH and it sickens me.
You can say that as you continue to preach your own talking points. And I don't underestimate the left – I don't think that anything is beneath them, including voter fraud, which is rife in US history. Tammany Hall? Boss Tweed? How about something a little more recent – the Chicago machine? ACORN is but a new chapter in this tawdry practice. I have no problem with majority rule, as long as the election is fair and above-board. But even then, the minority does have some say in the process, it can't be completely ignored as 0bama and his minions are doing now. Transparency indeed! The transparency of the closed door with Republicans being excluded from participating in the drafting of the health care bill. High-handedness and hypocrisy, more like.
The dollar bills in you wallet are WATCHING YOU!
You MUST get rid of them! Send them to me! (address available upon request)
Does that intimidate you Fang? You going to run home because some mean man with a stick is looking scary? I don't think the people of Philadelphia were scared off and nothing ever came of the incident. It certainly didn't affect the outcome of the election. Just another f o x news story that amounted to nothing.
Don't forget the New Black Pather Party "getting involved" in Philly.
Of course Eric "Terrorist Friend" Holder "declined to procecute".
I has visited the Cowpens battlefield. The US Parks Service has done a wonderful job on the site. The $1 admission to the short movie was worthwhile, and really helped to set up the short walk along the walking trail. The signs helped describe the situation and how the battle unfolded. The takeaway from the experience told me that a relatively small group could make a huge difference with worldwide consequences.
Kind of like the skirmish in Massachusetts Tuesday. 1 Vote can be much like a musket in the hands of a determined citizen.
Not much would intimidate me – I can take care of myself. I would face it down, as I have faced down much more serious threats in my past. However, it would and probably did intimidate others. Your statement that you don't think that people of Philly were scared off is sheer speculation on your part (another "nothing to see here – move on" comment). And feel free not to address the Dim 105% turnout. And with Holder in charge of deciding who and what is to be prosecuted, of course it amounted to nothing – villains just taking care of their own.
Sunday morning and Obama plays the race card again what a surprise,
To bad he couldn't be back at Reverend Wright's Church of white hatred.
Couldn't find a chuch in DC or in Hawaii where he skipped Christmas services.
But now he's in Boston combining Haiti, Dr King, and Baptist church services into the biggest ball of hypocritc lies and nonsense I have ever witnessed.
What a sad day…
They're pulling out all stops for Coakley!
WHITE HOUSE REQUESTS AID FROM HAITI
http://naturalfake.wordpress.com/2010/01/17/white...
Obama won by almost 10 million votes and rolled up 365 EC votes. I can see looking at voter fraud if an election is close like in 2000 and 2004. But 2008 was never in doubt by the end of September, and Obama won by 7 points… still you deny his legitimacy. You say he is going against the will of the people, when it was the will of the people that put him in office.
Do you have any idea how ridiculous you sound? It's fine to disagree with the AG, but at least make an effort to keep it real. He is a patriotic American serving his country.
I am worried about voter fraud, I read where there have been an enormous increase the last 2 weeks in thousands of absentee ballots. I smell ACORN's filth all over that.
"Yeah, I'll be around. Win or lose in MA on Tuesday the struggle never ends. We don't get universal health care this year we will be back next year… and the year after that."
Yep- just like rust, or a cockroach infestation. The looters never rest- hence, to borrow a Revolutionary-era line, eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. There will always be those deadbeats who are determined to vote themselves Free Stuff from the productive.
"And that is your real problem. We only have to win once, but you have to win every year. Eventually you lose."
Exactly al-Qaeda's logic.
You are right- entitlements are forever, and once the fetters of socuialism are rivited on they are nigh-impossible to break.
Your opinion is that voters were intimidated in Philly and you can't back that up. My opinion is that like you, Philly voters will not be intimidated. The whole idea is a farce.
"At this battle, American commanders had to put their regular troops behind the militia, and give them orders to shoot any deserters — the militia was that bad."
That is a serious distortion, in fact almost completely untrue.
Morgan like all Continental commanders was well aware of the unreliability of militia when confronted by British regulars or cavalry. At Cowpens therefore he brilliantly used them to bait a trap- forming them as the first line with orders to fire two volleys and retire, a feigned retreat which was designed (successfully) to lure Tarleton onto the muskets of the Regulars.
But there was NO order to shoot militia who retreated- indeed they were ORDERED to retreat. However, the retreat was a feint- the militia reformed behind rising ground, and then hit the British in flank, completing a double envelopment. The militia counterattack in fact caused most of the casualties among the Fraser Highlanders, who were nearly destroyed. (NB: actually, the "regulars" in the main line included the 1st Virginia Militia, which was despite its name effectively a regular formation)
However, your general point is well taken- the Brits were not beaten by "guerillas," but by the Prussian-drilled Continental Line (and a lot of Frenchmen).
A farce to you, maybe. Not to me nor countless others. We're entitled to our opinions just as you are, even though, of course, you "won".
OK massah, we proles will just do as we're told. Sorry to be so uppity. Continue your oligarchic rule.
"And it has nothing to do with imposing our beliefs on you. In a democracy the agenda is set by majority rule, so all you need to do is win an election."
…and You have fully believed your own poor education and lack of understanding of the very founding principles that guide the American philosophy.
The founders knew that mob rule would not work, hence choosing our longstanding Republic form of government – a form of government based on the rule of law, not the majority whims of the masses. The founders also knew that if said majority so desired for so long, and so mightily, an egregious repression of those desires, that finally, a Supreme Court of redress would establish such desire if it is truly valid and valuable to the society. Health Care will eventually be decided by the Supreme Court, either sooner or later.
But no my friend, we are not a Democracy…
…"And to the Republic, for which it stands…"
I think you want to IGNORE the pure partisanship this fraud brings to the A.G.s office.
That's ridiculous. Patriotic? LOL!
Your opinion is that whether or not voters were intimidated, there is no problem with militarily-garbed goons holding hand-slapping nightsticks at the entrance to a voting poll…
Do you really so not get it?
To Brown supporters/MA residents: The weather forecast for Tuesday doesn't look good so plan ahead, even offer to give neighbors a ride to the polls. Don't stay home!! Please vote. Your fellow conservatives in neighboring states thank you!!
I'm confused Mik….If there is no voter fraud, then what was the big deal with the Dems claiming there was fraud when Bush beat Gore? Seems they cried foul, and some still do, now that is sad!
Here is a good video that sens a message to all Republicans who decide to play the "give me more power and I will cooperate" game:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liNLU2CURkU
that is a great video copp. thanks, i'm sending it around.
I would like to also point out to all those assembled that today also marks the anniversary of Abu Klea, where the British destroyed a Sudanese Jihadist army under the command of Mohammed Ahmed (the so-called Mahdi) attempting to invade Egypt, thus saving dozens of thousands of lives from the rampaging Dervishes and containing the cancer to the Sudan, where it could eventually be destroyed.
Because for whatever our many differences in the past with Britain (and even in the present), those pale in all comparison to those of the enemy, and virtually any defeat suffered by the Jihad is worth celebration.
Scott Brown. A good one:

The Battle of Cowpens has a heroine: Catherine Moore Barry. Here is her story:
In the winter of 1781, the British under General Charles Cornwallis were out to crush General Morgan's Patriots. Realizing that he was badly outnumbered, Morganappealed to Kate Barry for help. She knew every inch of land in the area, all the shortcuts and trails, where Patriots lived, and how to contact them. Single-handedly, Kate rounded up the necessary local Patriots to join General Morgan's forces.
British Colonel Banastre Tarleton headed a legion of 1,100 dragoons, 17th Lancers, regulars, Tory loyalists, and Highlanders. Tarleton and his legion had been successful at battles in Camden and Waxhaw. She set out on her horse, bravely fording the Tyger River at night, to alert her husband's company to hurry to Cowpens. Thanks to Kate's ride, the men were able to make it to the battlefield in time. General Morgan laid a trap for General Cornwallis, and he was defeated on January 17, 1781, at the Battle of Cowpens. Andrew Barry served that day under General Pickens. It was a tremendous victory and sealed the fate of the Revolution.
I'm not overeager at all.
And I don't need to be a "brain" to see the picture on the wall!
It's called the "NEW WORLD ORDER" UNDER LUCIFER BEGAN BY THE ILLUMINATI IN MAY OF 1776 AND PASSED ON TO 3RD DEGREE MASONS!!!
PS: NOT ONLY FDR, BUT THAT INCLUDES BOTH BUSH PRESIDENTS, BY THE WAY!
Of course, if the conservatives win, you will still be hanging around here, clogging up our intertubes…
Why don't you put your leftist butt to good use, go down to Haiti, and apply your "charity for others" atrophied muscles to actually helping for once…?
That would be "audacity of Hope" for people that could actually use some…
Please remind us…
How many underprivileged youth were ACORN planning to assist with tax credits and work-study programs…?
(flat on their backs, of course)
Imagine, if you will…the bluest of blue states…in the bluest of blue districts… a spot of red appears…
And not just from mikatollah cutting his own throat…!
Last time I looked we were a Republic. A democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Barack Hussein Obama doesn't go to church in the District of Criminals because he doesn't want to be photographed entering a mosque with his SS
I think after the Tsunami of 2010 we need to enact a Constitutional Amendment that requires federal voters to show a valid IRS 1040 that proves they paid taxes. Then another Amendment that Eliminates all federal welfare.
Keep drinking that koolaid. Perhaps you can explain why the few overwhelmed Republican in the People's Soviet of Chicago have to re-register every election, while dhimmicrats don't? And proving you have a cat or dog is all you need to vote again (hence the Partei motto "Vote Early and Often!) Perhaps you are willing to comment on the current assertion that the Demonrats actually DID steal the election in 1960 for JFK? And that the repubs couldn't afford to challenge the results in both Illinois and Texas- where the election was stolen as well? Enquiring minds want to know- troll.
It's Democracy my friend, American style. If it offends you, then amend the Constitution to make is more suitable. Perhaps we could count liberals as 3/5s of a person. That would limit their opportunity to seize power and enslave the white man.
It is hard to know exactly what happened from f o x because of their right wing political agenda. The way I would have handled it would be to call the authorities and find out why some knucklehead is standing at a polling station with a weapon. It sounds outrageous… too outrageous to be true.
In any case, it did not change the outcome of the election. And that was my point.
The Democrats in Florida were not complaining about fraud, but the attempt to scrub the voter rolls of registered Democrats in heavy Democratic precincts. The mantra was when in doubt, take them out.
When real fraud occurs it is not by voters but by individual voters but by corrupt officials.
Yes we are… a democratic republic.
Don't like libs… vote for the other guy.
"People's Soviet of Chicago?"
First time I've heard that one, and I have heard some pretty stupid stuff on this list.
Are you really this stupid or are you just trolling? By your 3/5th comment you show ignorance to the fact that that was a means to eventually end slavery. The south wanted to count all blacks in the census to have more representatives while denying blacks the right to vote. Had this happened, slavery wouldn't have ended as soon as it did, if at all. Again, read Hamilton and Madison. The founding documents must not have been part of your limited non-liberal education.
How condescending of you. Whatever you say, massah. Me and the rest of flyover country are here just to serve you. We know you and your enlightened kind will do the best you can think of to keep us all safe and sound in a socialist sort of way, yes we do.
And a shout-out to American-born Hiram Maxim, whose gun put paid to the Fuzzy-Wuzzies.
It is hard for You to know exactly what happened from the MSM; they do not so much as even report on the issue because of their left wing political agenda. The way it was handled was to immediately record the event for posterity, then report it to the authorities, including ALL the media, which is was. Only Fox and the conservative blogosphere chose to see it as the illegality that is was – not so much you or the MSM; regardless the degree of outrageous.
In any case, you ask us to 'back it up'; your theory that it does not matter therefore did not affect the outcome vs our theory that it is wrong and should be exposed and prosecuted. AG Holder should have prosecuted all of the offenders, and you won't even admit to that.
My problem with the denseness of people like you is that you throw all reason and rationale out the window when it disturbs your ideological leanings. You continually climb out on a limb until you fall; then you get up and blame everyone for pushing you out of the tree.
Finally! You admit you are a bonehead!
Libtards hate our Republic and want the kind of Democracy they have in Europe. These Eurocentric elitists will never be as honest as their fore bearers, though. They called themselves what they were; Fascists.
