Now we are losing our Nation.
What was the point of that?

Oh, you mean the Federal Income Tax that has no definitive law saying that we have to pay - and you mean the representation is the tax funding of illegal wars and Washington ignoring us "The voting tax paying citizen".
Yeah - OK!
Hail King George!

Didn't timothy McViegh have that on a T-shirt when they arrested him!
I would stay away from that phrase now that we are ruled by the King

Is this a serious question?
The president has always had the power of controlling the government. That's NOT being a king. A king makes laws AND enforces them.
Here Congress makes laws, the President approves and enforces them, and Judges make sure it's all done right. And, if enough people in Congress think the President is stupid, they can do something about it.. It hasn't happened, so maybe he isn't that stupid?

Why, so that history could show us how its done.

Cute avatar.
We didn't elect a king. We created a constitution that provided for an equal distribution of power across three branches that were structured and filled in different ways.
Then we got a bunch of very smart people who figured out how to abuse the system, and skew the balance of power, in effect breaking the system that the founders created.
And we let them get away with it.

It is too bad the liberals decided to start taxing the crap out of us. Good thing we dont have a king but a president who can only serve eight years maximum if re-elected after their first term. No one is losing a nation though the leftists are working hard to tear it apart and turn us on ourselves.

Wow, where do you live, I am in the USA you should move here. We kicked out the king, fought against taxation without representation and now have a elected government, taxes that our elected officials voted for.

Yes, I was just wondering. Was the American Revolution a waste of time?
That might be funny if not so true.

I take exception to your assertion that Bush was "elected"... ;)
WAKE UP! OVER 70% OF AMERICA WANTS OUT OF IRAQ. WE PAY TAXES. WHY AREN'T THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS BEING REPRESENTED?
