Terrorism Versus Patriotism

Way back when a group of people, reflecting the mood of the country and tired of taxation without representation and being screwed over dumped tea in Boston Harbor.

My children are being taught that they were great patriots.

If a group of people, representing the mood of the country and in protest of taxation without representation today destroyed an oil refinery or two, they would be branded terrorists and traitors.

What's wrong with this picture?

What's wrong is that you have the right to chose representatives to Congress, which means that you're represented. What's wrong is that a Congress of your own country has implemented the laws you don't like, and not a foreign Congress you have no say in. What's wrong is that you just don't like losing elections, which is not the same as being unrepresented.

btw I've never lost an election. I even won election as Student Coucil monitor in high school but was impeached when it became obvious I was only elected because everyone knew I wouldn't enforce any of the school rules.

I heard that you were impeached for gross dereliction of duty, and that this is just your spin on it.

I would have voted for you, BVT.

In fact, I still would!

I want to rule the world. not A2K... however all A2K members who support me will be placed on the protected list when the great purge comes......
except for those who have already pissed me off. There will be no back peddling. Only the gnashing of teeth and the lamentaions of the women.

I'm afraid that my great purge is going to make yours look like a tea party. And to let you in on a little secret, I'm afraid you're not going to make it. Ha ha ha......

Brandon, essentially, is in charge. He is a clone of Bush.

If you want to take the honorable way out, I will not object.
