Good quotin' there, Elias.

King George II... Isn't that the one that was in power when the USA had a revolution and left being a British colony? 

It was George III that was king in England in 1776.
There were 13 British colonies in America then.
The U. S. A. did not exist until the ratification of the Constitution at least, and some hold that the Constitution was not valid until the ratification of the Bill of Rights.

The Bill of Rights was necessary to the Constitution because of the contract between the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists to ratify the basic Constitution in the first place. In short:
"If no Bill of Rights, then no Constitution."

And, just by coincidence George Walker Bush is the third president of the United States named "George". Making him our own, our very own, "George III". How about that?

As to staying in power:

Putin probably (or replaced by someone just as bad) and Bush doubtfully (and replaced by someone just as bad)

I couden'a said it better my own self.

  Yes.  So next time some scoffer makes a dumb remark about not wanting to back to the Constitution, we can respond with, "Go Back?  We have already gone back to King George, following the Constitution now would be a step forward! What a Revolutionary concept!!

A Friend once greeted me with a sarcastic, "Heil, Bush!" Was that freudian, too, or just prophetic?  Hmmm.

Impeach Now : Or Face the End of Constitutional Democracy

By PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS

Salute!
Elias

Elias,
Great article. I've been reading Roberts' commentary for over a year now and I tend to trust his judgment.
That Bush has both the power and the audacity to punk us like that is increasingly difficult to refute, however
I think the likelihood of it happening is pretty slim. Nothing, though - and I mean absolutely nothing - would
surprise me anymore. Who knows what kind of shit storm is brewing for us. We face so many likely scenarios
now.

Buy as much guns, gold, ammo and food as you can afford, support Ron Paul and pray to God that the human
race gets its act together, before we let the power elite exterminate us all.

I see.  My United States history is a bit fuzzy.  The next in line coincidence then.

There's too many Georges in the world...  I like my name.  It's unique.  The chances of me meeting another person with my name is way less than 1%.  Of course, I did change the name I go by, but my 'legal' one's not too common either.

AMEN Brother

Yeah...for me that'd be practice my martial art (I'll learn knife defense, attacks, and various useful weapons easily applied to common objects) and learn others, keep up to date on current events, learn how to shoot, and save money for the stuff and things I want to do in my life after moving out.  I know, the stuff my parents won't let me get.  Not that I've brought it up, but I've known them all my life and have gathered my conclusions thus forth.

I might be Canadian but don't think for a second that we're free of the corruption in the US.  Canada is the US's "little brother."  A lot of the shit happened down south affects us almost the same.

Besides, Country borders or artficial.  People are people.

I don't know that your understanding of US history is fuzzy, or that US History IS fuzzy.  We certainly never seem to learn from it, doing everything we can to muddy up the true meaning under a cloak of political correctness.

For example, this Thursday is 'Thanksgiving' (in the US) It is a false holiday, for though the native peoples were glad when dinner was over, and more than one 'squaw' was overheard saying  "I thought they'd NEVER leave."  The dinner guests never did leave. The rest is history.


Moral, be careful who you invite for dinner and don't let them get too comfortable.


The same is true for those occupying the White House (much like we're occupying Iraq)

[freethinker]

Canadian Thanksgiving is based on this historical thing about a prince or somebody being desperately sick (back when it was part of the British Empire) and recovered.  So there was a celebration.  And well, people like celebration, so it stuck around.   My family spends it out in the sticks with family friends taking walks through the woods and cooking burgers (and veggie burgers) over a fire, and eating them and veggies, chips and lotsa pumpkin pie

Ours is earlier, and the weather is better, so it usually works out alright.  Still cold in the evening after dark, but we don't mind.

I only learned a few basic things about US history in Grade 9, then 10 to 12 it was mostly European.  Which I find much more interesting, despite there being too many damn popes, often with the same name... 

Of course, I pick up a little out os school. Though my ability to spell has definately gotten worse since graduation.  It's not bad when I have a spell-checker, but at work I don't have the luxary.

Didn't Obummer say he could have won a third term if he had ran?

[heyoka]

instigate a "Police Action" with Russia, short of a nuclear exchange...................or not
declare martial law
bada bing bada boom
FDR had a turd third term, so no precedent there.
They'll have to weasel word their way around the 22^nd  Amendment, but been there and done that with the entire Bill of Rights, so no problemo.

Question:

What did the Russia do to
influence the election?


Answer:

They used an antiquated
malware from Ukraine on
a power station in Vermont.



Wait........WHAT?!?

Is that REALLY how they are trying to spin this?
You gotta be kidding me!

Anything to divert attention from Hitlary's et. al. dirty deeds that were in the E-mails, up to and including an un-holy alliance between libtards and fetid necrotic neo-cons rekindling the cold war.
