Thank you for the kind words, fren! I must confess, I was extremely tired when I wrote it originally, so I owe to all of you to do a much better job in the future! I completely screwed up the spelling on the title for instance, and wrote 90's like the decade, rather than the age 😂 I'll do much better next time!
I had the pleasure, and distinct honor, of meeting them both when they were here in Arizona, recently. She's one heck of a gal; you can tell she loved him, and what he was doing. He was as nice as one could be and actually extremely humble, but cool as a cucumber.
Congratulations, Patriots!
His overarching and dogmatic atheistic tendencies are showing, and their effects on his credibility are irreparable. Liquor stores aren't protected by our Constitution, neither are acupuncturists, restaurants or even businesses really, for that matter. They are, however, intrinsically symbolic of our (previously agreed upon) founding principles of this nation being, among them, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. While those words are included in abundance, they are not explicitly protected since their representation of our core values (or those stated goals) are largely subjective and far too legally ambiguous to be enshrined in almost all other forms besides being explicitly stated and are simply representative of the overarching goal of our form of government. But one thing that is VERY simple to both define and enshrine, that not only be abbreviated & distilled down to a few brief sentences but can also include wide reaching ramifications, is the right to worship freely. It's such a simple concept, so direct in its inclusion for our near-holy document; a philosophy that's not only fundamental to our core values as a society, but foundational to our nation's birth. Whose core values have shaped, not only OUR way of life, but an entire planet's most recent two and a half centuries worth of existence. Other nations have had successful (allbethem largely flawed and dubious) implementations of commerce, a means for individuals to put in a hard day's work and be the recipients of the fruits of their labor. Obviously, that notion is necessary in the pursuit of happiness, but perhaps not necessarily for life and liberty. Those can only be fulfilled when man's inherent notions of spirituality (whatever definition you use), are meaningfully addressed, fulfilled, and most importantly, freely. This is why this unalienable right is protected right alongside that of speech. It's not just about the ability to freely say something, but your ability to believe in it. To not only just be able to say the words, but to be able to reflect and think on them. Religion is far more than the God you choose to serve, it's how one choose to conduct one's life, the course they set themselves upon, and the manner in which they do it. It's far more than simplistic morality, but our judgment of life and death, light and dark, goodness and evil that goes far beyond just angels and demons. This is a notion that even atheists previously understood even if they had no gods in which to kneel to. From our humble beginnings as Pilgrims who braved the tremendous oceans seeking a new world in which to prosper AND worship freely (dying in droves to accomplish such a task), to the escaping Puritans and Quakers, and the fleeing Catholics from the both the British Crown and conquistadorian Spanish, or in the modern contexts of the Communists and radical Islamic faiths; it is crucial, for the sovereignty of this nation, that we maintain the ability to worship as you see fit, whether it be alone or with others who are like-minded. It is essential, nay, vital, for our society (for the preservation of it) to uphold these long-established principles that provided the basis for our Republic. There was a time when even Atheists understood that, that if freedom of religion wasn't preserved for one, that likely meant they were next... I guess fleeting notions of ideological "purity" and partisan dogma are more important values to uphold in, what GEOTUS has recently and fittingly coined, our contemporary "roaring 20's."
This is how Obama claimed a seat in politics in the first place. He simply ran for office, and force signature verification to be upheld for his opponents. He knows the game all-to-well. Now you know EXACTLY why the Dems are on a unified crusade against granting Trump that which should be universally required.
Washington forced his men to participate in firing squads for mutineers within their ranks, purposefully selecting the riflemen from groupings of other co-conspirators and their closest friends to pull the trigger; all to send a powerful and unforgettable message.
Keep in mind, these mutineers were EATING THEIR OWN BOOTS for food, forced to scavenge the countryside for sustenance, weathered brutal freezing conditions with nary a tent to spare them. They had all endured countless casualties from both the battles themselves and the harsh living conditions, all of which lasted for years, and only broke down to mutiny because their pay was threatened from the burgeoning nation's rising inflation due to unyielding wartime disruption and the lack of wage approvals from the Continental Congress.
Even with all of that, Washington knew that the CAUSE was to be prioritized above ALL ELSE, i.e: NO QUARTER for those who fail to uphold their oath and their sworn devotion to our nation, even from fellow officers. After barely a hasty trial, they were forced to simply dig their own graves and to take a torn piece of cloth and told to wear it over their eyes; the last thing they would ever see. The riflemen carried out their orders shedding tears themselves.
We are FAR beyond anything that was recorded in 1781, to the point that even Benedict Arnold himself would have been disgusted. THIS IS TREASON and when this is all over, I expect no less a fate for the treasonous wretches who've disenfranchised TENS OF MILLIONS of their countrymen, directly contributing the destruction of countless lives and doing irreparable harm to our Republic in the process.
Bring it to the Senate floor, convince a few RINOs that it's in their best interest if they want any power going forward... Idk, a simple majority may not be enough but if the GOP has no power, Senators could get desperate.
I believe Bob and Dean are under the impression that both the manual (2018 version, with 2020 changes) and the statutes will be delivered to the recounters themselves. One of the Dem bitches didn't want to give the impression that the manual superseded state statutes (which it never would have). I think line 4 was redundant? But this is all predicated on if Megan was correct in her assessment.
Kek. My only regret is the I can only upvote this once.
