From A Recent Exchange On FarceBook

One of the best ways to get yourself a reputation as a dangerous citizen these days is to go about repeating the very phrases which our founding fathers used in the great struggle for independence."~ Charles A. Beard
Put me on another list. I am dangerous for so many reasons, not the least of which is my penchant for holding the founders in high honour, something that NONE of Lincoln's regime has ever done.

My country has been under imperial military occupation for 144½ years. All of the self-gratifying colonialism and nation-building exercises that the empire undertakes on foreign soil and nothing for its own conscripts who wish only to be free to live their lives.

2010 is here. One election cycle is not going to overturn a century-½ of abrogation and federal intervention. Ten election cycles won't do it.
