"He who controls and counts the votes, controls the nation". The voting system is rigged just like the lottery. Am I the only one that has the guts to say it?

The more he talks the more he believes "the American people" have given HIM "a mandate" to do what HE wants via "executive" fiat. We have a three tiered Republic with the executive, judicial, & legislative separate in order to prevent just what he is becoming more & more convinced is his right - to issue "executive orders" to bypass the House & Senate legislative branch. This trend is becoming a very real threat to the "checks & balances" our system was designed to have. Be very afraid...

To 'threaten' the American people that Social Security, in which people pay into their entire lives, will be cut if no solution is found, is the true words of a dictator. WHY not threaten the lazy welfare leaches that are living off it because the feel they are 'entitled' to it? The bums that want to lay around, have illigitimate kids and not work to support any of them? Most have not paid one red cent into it to deserve to recieve welfare or food stamps or medicaid. Force these slackers to get jobs and GROW UP AND OWN UP to the kids they are spewing out like a bunch of flies.
