That reminds me. Is treason still a hangin’ offense?
November’s coming.
After all the shit they’ve gotten away with, I wouldn’t be surprised if over the past decade or two treason wasn’t minimized to an offense similar to jaywalking. Reid, Pelosi, and the rest of the traitors in congress know they are guilty, and need to make sure they have an “out”.
It’s near Cognito, I think…
Another thought about Obama’s “the Government is All”:
“When we invested in the Hoover Dam or the Golden Gate Bridge, or the Internet, sending a man to the moon — all those things benefited everybody. And so that’s the vision that I want to carry forward.”
Anybody with 5 minutes to do a little fact-checking would have found this (I found it on a Golden Gate Bridge historical site; the people at Reason fill in the blanks:
Obama’s Shaggy Dog Story About the Golden Gate Bridge
“… the Golden Gate Bridge was funded by a $35 million dollar bond issue by the six counties in the Golden Gate Bridge District. It was a state-authorized project built by a partnership of local governments.”
From Golden Gate Bridge Changes Engineers’ Reasoning
“On November 4, 1930 voters within the district went to the polls and put their homes, farms, and business properties up for collateral to support a 35 million dollar bond issue to finance the bridge (Golden Gate Bridge: History of the World and People).”
It was a bridge that almost everybody said couldn’t be built. It was a bridge that the Department of Defense (and the Navy) said shouldn’t be built, because it would interfere with Navy ship navigation.
The determination of one man – Chief Engineer Joseph B. Strauss; and the willingness of surrounding counties to foot the bill – made it possible. Not the government.
