I am not claiming they control the world. I am claiming they are deeply rooted in our government, which is well documented. The rest is left to ponder, but our actions overseas certainly does support the theory of a more grand scale struggle for global domination. --- help me Instant Runoff Voting, you're my only hope --- "There is no such thing as laziness.

The Freemasons are no more rooted in our government than Jews are. Perhaps some people happen to be masons. It doesn't mean there is a plot. You have a conspiracy theory. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

It is no conspiracy that a private organization is deeply rooted in our government. That alone should set off alarm bells. --- help me Instant Runoff Voting, you're my only hope --- "There is no such thing as laziness. Laziness is only lack of incentive."

| I'm surprised I'm the first to vote for Jefferson. I believe that his philosophical leanings provide the entire skeletal structure for how we think about freedom in contemporary terms. More than just in America, he laid the groundwork for everything that is right in the world of politics today. | |||||||||||||||||||||

 | I voted for Madison. He was the one president that saved our asses when we really need it. It is a know fact that we got beat in the war of 1812. The british had a 2000 ship fleet, we started out with 20. We consistantly got our butts handed to us in evey battle. The british actually burned the Capitol building. Doll Madison saved the portrait of Washington and Old Glory. James Madison is our only president to actually come under enemy fire. He took comand of a local militia during the evac of our capitol. The only battle we really won was after the war was over in New Orleans. Andy Jackson was the General. Madison knew we were beaten and sent Jon Quincy Adams to get a peace treaty with the english. Our country would be a whole different place if not for Madison. This Is one of the last presidents that put the people before himself. HAPPY PRESIDENTS DAY Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong. ~Richard Armour There are many men of principle in both parties in America, but there is no party of principle. ~Alexis de Tocqueville | |||||||||||||||||||||
