Flashermac Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Remember when we were kids and Congress was full of veterans? Not it is all the stay-at-homes who want to send others to fight for them. War has become like a video game for politicians, especially with the unmanned drones controlled from far away.

unit731 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 No Spying Involved. "An unarmed target drone found in central Philippine waters was launched from a U.S. Navy ship during a combat exercise off Guam last year and may have been washed by ocean currents to the country, officials said Tuesday."

unit731 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 "Rumored plans to use a $1 trillion coin to solve America's debt crisis could be sidelined by a Republican Congressman who wants to stop the Obama administration from pursing the option. Rep. Greg Walden (R-Ore.) said on Monday he will introduce a bill to prevent a maneuver that has been suggested by a New York congressman and debated in multiple media reports. A legal loophole allows the U.S. Treasury to mint platinum coins in whatever denomination it chooses - even $1 trillion." LINK Seems logical to me !

unit731 Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 "Of the first five presidents, four owned slaves. All four of these owned slaves while they were president. Of the next five presidents (#6-10), four owned slaves. Only two of them owned slaves while they were president. Of the next five presidents (#11-15), two owned slaves. Both of these two owned slaves while they were president. Of the next three presidents (#16-18) two owned slaves. neither of them owned slaves while serving as president. The last president to own slaves while in office was the twelfth president, Zachary Taylor (1849-1850). The last president to own slaves at all was the eighteenth president, Ulysses S. Grant (1869-1877). So twelve of our presidents owned slaves and eight of them owned slaves while serving as president." LINK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 I was subjected to involuntary servitude by Lyndon Baines Johnson. My father was subjected to involuntary servitude under FDR. p.s. I am descended through my grandmother from Robert Carter I, grandfather of Robert Carter III who freed over 500 slaves. Didn't inherit any of their money though. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Carter_III Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
