    You nailed it. And these wars, and social programs are so outrageous, only people with common sense are stunned over it.

    The war on drugs, the war on poverty, wars abroad we have NO business getting involved in (what are we, cops for the World? Insanity!), war on this, war on that. Every time these bastards declare war on something, ever notice how the spending goes crazy, and at the same time, the problem itself grows LARGER?

    Take a look at the war on poverty. We have more people living in poverty than in the 60's when the damned thing started. We have more on food stamps than ever in history. I could go on...

    I'm a fan of Reagan, but I DO NOT, and NEVER will support the war on drugs he pushed so hard.

    Something's gotta give...

    And by the time that comes, I hope the Patriots here are ready to do what needs to be done to rid this GREAT country of the tyrants.

    Like the Constitution, those laws can be changed.

    *A Wonderful State*
    *with ZERO Republicans *

    *(NOT A SOUL TO BLAME BUT THEMSELVES FOR ALL THEIR WONDERFULNESS...)** **
    TRULY A DEMOCRATS PARADISE**!*

    *Now, Consider This:*
    *There are more people on Welfare in Illinois than there are people
    working.
    Chicago pays the highest wages to teachers than anywhere else in the U.S.
    averaging $110,000/year.
    Their pensions average 80-90% of their income. You can't blame that on
    republicans because there aren't any.
    Wow, are Illinois and Chicago great or what?
    Be sure to read till the end. I've never heard it explained better.
    Perhaps the U.S. should pull out of Chicago ?
    Body count: In the last six months 292 killed (murdered) in Chicago .
    221 killed in Iraq AND Chicago has one of the strictest gun laws in the
    entire US.*
    *. Here's the Chicago chain of command:
    . President: Barack Hussein Obama
    . Senator: Dick Durbin
    . House Representative: Jesse Jackson Jr.
    . Governor: Pat Quinn
    . House leader: Mike Madigan
    . Atty. Gen.: Lisa Madigan (daughter of Mike)
    . Mayor: Rohm Emanuel
    . The leadership in Illinois - all Democrats.
    . Thank you for the combat zone in Chicago .

    . Of course, they're all blaming each other.
    . Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!
    . Chicago school system rated one of the worst in the country. Can't blame
    Republicans; there aren't any!***
    *. State pension fund $78 Billion in debt, worst in country. Can't blame
    Republicans; there aren't any!***
    *. Cook County ( Chicago ) sales tax 10.25% highest in country. Can't
    blame Republicans; there aren't any!***
    *. This is the political culture that Obama comes from in Illinois . And
    he is going to 'fix' Washington politics for us???
    . George Ryan is no longer Governor, he is in the big house.
    . Of course he was replaced by Rob Blajegovitch who is...that's right,
    also in the big house.
    . And Representative Jesse Jackson Jr. resigned a couple of weeks ago.
    That is because he is fighting being sent to...that's right, the big house.
    . The Land of Lincoln , where our governors make our license plates.

    But you know what? As long as they keep providing entitlements to the
    population of Chicago , nothing is going to change, except the state will
    go broke before the country does.***
    *
    "Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the
    Government take care of him; better take a closer look at the American
    Indian."*

    Great post! Btw, in Iraq, FULL AUTO AK's were as common as man dresses. In Chicago, where guns are damn near outlawed, it's more dangerous than Iraq. Unreal!:(

    One presumes they'll do what they did in Detroit - blame the republicans and white folks anyway *because* they are not there. Since they left, the place went to shit. So it's their fault.

    I kid you not. That's the exact story they tell in Detroit.

    In my opinion Dollar destruction comes from at least 2 sources.

    Federal Govt overspending and subsequent monetization.
    Private Fed Bank creating dollars at will.

    How a Squinting Dog Inspired a $3 Million Company
    BY Jodi Helmer | July 26, 2013

    "Roni and Ken Di Lullo knew something was off when their dog Midknight kept missing the Frisbee during a game of fetch. In 1997, during a visit to the dog park near their San Jose, Calif., home, the couple noticed that Midknight was squinting. "He seemed to be sensitive to sunlight," Roni recalls.

    "On a lark, Roni retrofitted sports goggles to fit the border collie. In addition to improving his Frisbee performance, Midknight became the talk of the dog park. People were so amused by the goggles that Roni created a website to showcase photos of the pooch modeling his eyewear. "People love to see a dog wearing glasses," she says.

    "To her surprise, requests started coming in from other dog owners. "I had a full-time job [as a software developer] and never planned to do this as a business," Roni says."
