Abrams is a lying bitch, like all democrats.

Getting harder to tell Stan’s posts from Number 7’s.

 

When they shut off the gas and electric you will need the bike lanes.

over on POA (yeah, I know what people think about POA...) everytime someone mentions that gas prices have gone lower I tell them to let me know when gas gets below $2/gallon.

very few things don’t have unintended consequences

It's easy to win them over to our side -- you just have to be willing to shed a little blood.  Sadam Hussein did it in less than a week.   

I am in favor of limited terms, but not necessarily in term limits.  I just think it should be self-limiting as the founders intended -- that we would have an entirely new government every 6 years.  Everyone knows the story of Jefferson and Co. vs Madison and Co and that Madison eventually won out, and we now know what that has produced:  a ruling class and a fourth branch of government.  These two things must be eliminated, but I do want to be able to elect whomever I want to elect as much as I want to elect (I could easily go or 3-4 terms of Reagan or Trump!).

The problem as I see it, is not one of terms, but one of incumbency.  I bristle at the notion of an arbitrary time limit such as 12 years.  I would propose an amendment that would prohibit one seeking office, elected or appointed, while holding office, elected or appointed.  Having a true citizen government where they would have to then live under the laws they created would naturally lead to balanced budgets and elimination of graft, and elimination of unnecessary bureaucracy, more ideas that are long overdue.  For that matter, I can't think of a current amendment beyond the original 10 that are worth keeping.
